It has been a fine start to the season for Wolverhampton after their promotion from Division Two last year and they continued their good form again this weekend as they batted first at Berkswell after winning the toss.

It was a team effort to get up to their total of 279-9. Ramanjot Jaswal (67), Benjamin Horne (54) and Zia Ul Haq Parwani (61) all made half-centuries – while captain Will Nield was dismissed for 49.

Berkswell made a positive start in the chase, with all of the top three getting starts, but the spin duo of Joe Stanley (5-59) and Warrick Fynn (3-41) tied the hosts up and they were unable to get anywhere near the total – finishing 194-8 off their 55 overs.

Kidderminster managed to get a losing draw at home to Barnt Green.
