WORCESTERSHIRE Cricket League Division Two leaders Bredon will host mid-table Bromyard on Saturday (1pm).

Bredon’s bid for a fifth successive league victory at Coombs Wood last Saturday was washed out without a ball bowled.

Bredon are eight points clear of second-placed Chaddesley Corbett who were dismissed for 95 at Bromyard and suffered a surprise two-wicket defeat.

Evesham remain third and are two points adrift of Chaddesley after being rained off at Belbroughton. Evesham entertain Coombs Wood on Saturday (1pm).

A fine all-round display from Simon Riches led Bredon Seconds to a 98-run home win against Astwood Bank Fourths in Division Three 2nd XI.

Riches hit 58 not out in Bredon’s 185-4 from 41 overs and then took 4-26 as Bank were dismissed for 87. Bredon’s Liam Harris also snapped up 4-13.
