After some positive recent results, the firsts were outplayed by Kidderminster at home on Saturday, as Daniel Lategan's century anchored the visitors' run chase.

Invited to bat first, Bridgnorth got off to the worst possible start as both openers were dismissed first ball, before Usamah Khan (30) and skipper Matt Martin (24) arrested the slide with a 57-run partnership. However, another surge from Kidderminster saw four more quick wickets fall as strike bowlers Liam Weston and Mateen Khan both wreaked havoc for the Chester Road side.

But from 69-6, the Cricket Meadow lower order fought back once again through contributions from Peter Scott (28), Jaspreet Singh (30), Zak Abbas (31) and Charlie Ward (25) as they pushed themselves up to 186, before being bowled out in the 51st over.

However, Kidderminster were always in charge of the run chase thanks to Lategan's effort, with Abbas (2-44) and Singh (1-53) the only wicket takers.

Bridgnorth II (335-9) beat Column (171-9) by 164 runs

Raja Ateeq became the fourth Bridgnorth batter to hit a double century as he powered the second team to what would prove a match-winning total at Column.

Smashing boundaries all around the Shirehall ground, his knock dominated the Cricket Meadow men's innings, with Muhammad Khan's late unbeaten 41 the only other contribution above 20.

Khan and Jenson Caine then ran through the hosts' top order like a strong dose of salts before the middle order put up some much needed resistance, led by home captain Jonathan Meek's 64. But the spinners then got into the act as Alex Yarnley and Mohit Sood picked up two wickets apiece, before Ross Hurdley picked up the ninth wicket to fall.

Bridgnorth III (89-5) beat Allscott Heath (88) by five wickets

The third team raced to their second win in two weeks as the bowlers produced the goods to dismiss visitors Allscott Heath for just 88.

After a steady opening stand, Guy Black (4-12) and Dileep Sager (2-8) ran through Allscott's line-up to put their side in control, before Issy Crann (2-26) and Freddie Ward (1-5) finished the job in the 24th over.

However, the visitors weren't ready to give up the fight and quickly got amongst Bridgnorth's top order, but a fine unbeaten 58 from Jack Welch saw the home side over the winning line.

Bridgnorth IV (92) lost to Madeley (93-8) by two wickets

The fourths battled hard but ultimately came out just short in a nailbiter against Madeley on Sunday.

Asked to bat first, Bridgnorth started positively but then found themselves pegged back by an accurate bowling attack. Huw Morgan and Max Hopson managed 16 apiece but the hosts were reduced to 57-9 before a 35-run stand between Issy Crann and skipper Alex Thomas saw them creep up to 92 off 34 overs.

Issy and Neve Crann then started the second innings off in style with an early wicket apiece, before a superbly controlled spell from young legspinner Alfie Proctor saw him take 3-20 in the middle overs. Supported by Thomas's 2-20 at the other end, the game was right back in the balance as wickets fell at regular intervals, but ultimately the visitors inched over the line in the 30th over.
