NORTHLEACH and Minety welcomed Charlton to the King George Playing Fields on a glorious sunny day and came away with a 223 run victory.

Put into bat N&M rattled up 318-1. Giles Wellman was the star off the show with a undefeated 140 putting on a opening stand off 224 runs with captain Tony Gardner 74.

Chasing such a huge score was too much for the Charlton batsman falling well short on 95 all out.

Most off the N&M bowlers had a bowl with Darren Hall, with 2-13 and Stuart Hobbs with 2-13 being the pick.

Northleach and Minety welcome Avening and Cherrington this Saturday, which should be a very good match.
