FIVE successive Bury St Edmunds Academy batsmen fell for ducks as they tumbled to a nine-wicket defeat at Worlington in Division One of the Hunts County Bats League.

Opener Mark Nunn scored 55 out of Bury’s total of 90 as Jeremy Bayes (4-1-7-4) and Nathan Twiddy (10-0-43-3) skittled the visitors in just 23 overs before openers John Sands (40 not out) and Craig Estlea (38) saw Worlington knock off the runs in only 10.1 overs.

Oli Jackson scored 82 as Walsham-le-Willows saw off Woolpit by seven wickets in Sunday’s only other Division One fixture.

Dale Watling starred with bat and ball, scoring 77 and then taking five for 25 for Stowmarket 3rd XI, but was unable to prevent his side slipping to a two-wicket loss at Lavenham in Division Two.

Watling was removed by Greg Wigens - his 200th wicket for the club - on his way to five for 18 as Stowmarket collapsed from 102 for two to 127 all out.

A Dellor cracked 122 in Rougham’s 107-run success at home to Brockley and Michael Reeve made 92 as Lakenheath 2nd XI defeated Edwardstone by 92 runs.

In Division Four Sudbury’s D Haye took seven for 21 as Horringer were routed for just 37 and subsequently lost by ten wickets.

Kesgrave came out on top in a low-scoring match against Easton in Section A of the MSC Suffolk Alliance League.

Dominic Gallant scored 39 in the home team’s 119 for six, and although fellow opener Jolyon Kimmerling made 41 for the visitors, Paul Budd’s 8-0-18-4 proved decisive.

Billy Thurston top-scored with 40 and then took three for 30, but it was not sufficient to stop Saxmundham sliding to a three-wicket loss to Wortham, Jack Buckmaster’s unbeaten 57 settling the spoils.

Adrian Stockton’s 50 not out steered Brantham to a five-wicket win at home to BT Martlesham & Waldringfield.

In Section B Matt Wise made 68 but Stradbroke were beaten by five wickets by Melton St Audry’s, for whom Michael Utting made 50.

Jack Coomber (10-2-26-4) and Jim Fincham (10-2-18-3) restricted Felixstowe & Corinthian Youth A to 126 for nine, before Fincham made the most of being dropped twice to score 71 in a five-wicket win.
