ROYAL Wootton Bassett returned to the summit of Division One after they claimed more points from their win over Hinton Charterhouse than Bear Flat did in their success at Urchfont.

The top two teams began the day level on points, but it was Bear Flat sitting pretty at the top.

However, they could only claim 19 points from their three-wicket win at Urchfont.

Bassett, meanwhile, were collecting 21 points for their efforts in a six-wicket success, with Ben Mattick hitting an unbeaten 40 as the hosts comfortably chased down Hinton’s 106 all out in 36 overs.

Division Two

Swindon United Churches went down to a six wicket defeat at home to Swindon Nalgo having been unable to fully recover from another disastrous start to their batting.

Having won the toss and opting to bat first, Churches saw opener Matt Runkel back in the hutch having not troubled the scorers, before Jimmy Mann (1) and skipper Richard Martin (0) quickly followed suit.

With only two overs gone, Churches were reeling at 1-3 and required a watchful 45 from Daniel Hunt to repair the damage.

In his 118-ball innings, Hunt shared a 31-run partnership with Liam Brooks (21) and a 100-run stand with Chris Gilchrist, who hit a 55-ball 57, as Churches were eventually bowled out for 166 in the 44th over.

The Nalgo chase was completed in the 38th over with Aviandash (54), Khan (47) and Irfan (26) leading the way.

Division Three

Wroughton Wranglers claimed a one-wicket success at Seagry.

Having restricted their hosts to 193-6, Josh Moncrieff the pick of the Wroughton bowlers with 2-21, the visitors sneaked home in the final over with Ben Webber (59) and Craig Taylor (43) top-scoring.

Division Seven

Purton 2nd stayed top of the table following their seven-wicket success over their Malmesbury counterparts.

The visitors posted 232-5 from their 45 overs with Sam Jones striking 103, however, Purton claimed victory in the 40th over of their reply thanks to an unbeaten 99 from Dave Allen and a 54 from Neil Little.

Division Eight

Highworth strengthened their grip on top spot following a 44-run win at Box 2nd.

The table-toppers were bowled out for 186 with Luke Roche leading the way with 43.

Roche then went on to pick up 5-27 as Box were dismissed in the 41st over for 142.

Division Nine

Biddestone 4ths picked up an eight-wicket success over Wanborough 2nd.

The visitors won the toss and were restricted to 115-8 with Martin Hewitt (3-16) the pick of the bowlers.

In reply, Alex Chrsyal (64*) and Mark Merriman (39*) shared a century-stand to see Biddestone home.
