Hinckley Amateur 2nd XI recorded their second consecutive victory with a comfortable eight wicket win over Enderby 2nds. Winning the toss, Amateur’s skipper Steve Mustin invited Enderby to bat, a decision proving to be the correct one when Simon Woodward, with his second delivery bowled opener Weaver. Enderby then consolidated, moving on to 47 before losing their second wicket, Harrison departing for 21. Wickets then regularly fell with Enderby being dismissed for 133 from 35.5 overs, with Amateur’s leg-spinner Mick Butterworth finishing with the well deserved figures of 5-41 from 13.5 overs; the main resistance coming from Moore (24) and Blanksby (28).
In reply, Amateur’s openers Richard Stanford and Steve Mustin quickly set about knocking off the runs, with Stanford (32) and Mustin (23) putting on 56 for the first wicket in only 8.2 overs, both being dismissed by Brotherhood. Winston Thompson (28 ) and Steve Lawrance (37) then came in for Amateurs and finished off the run chase, wrapping the game up in 26.2 overs.
