BADSEY won their opening County League game on Saturday in quickfire fashion at Evesham.

After inserting the home side, wickets fell regularly as the hosts were skittled for a meagre 64.

Only Molloy (24) and Savory (18no ) reached double figures for the home side as Sam Thomson removed both openers with John Osborne and Adam Westmacott both taking three wickets. Rob Andrew was the other successful bowler in an innings that was completed in the 22nd over.

Badsey's reply lasted a mere eight overs with Westmacott hitting Davidson hitting for two 6s and a four before being caught off the last ball of the second over for 16.

Thomson took over from Westmacott and hit four 4s and a six in his innings of 28 before he was caught and bowled by Savory in the sixth over just 11 runs short of victory.

The win was completed two overs later with opener Michael Powell ending unbeaten on 14 and able to watch brother Nick help Evesham's senior side to victory on the adjacent pitch.
