John Sturt rolled back the years as his stunning 9-wicket haul ripped through Burghill, Tillington and Weobley - the hosts collapsing from 76-1 to 137 all out. Sturty finished with 9-26 as we secured victory by 53 runs. Read the full scorecard. #uptheBirl https://t.co/mkrWdMBko9

Our opening pair @MartinDownes16 and David Clasen are back out in the middle at Burghill after a rain delay - you can follow our progress on the live scoreboard https://t.co/mkrWdMBko9

Our pursuit of 288 wilted in the heat at a sweltering @Feckenham_CClub - despite a promising opening stand from Martin Barnes (48) and @MartinDownes16 (36). Read the full scorecard from our 83-run defeat https://t.co/QZTRxMvlfp

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

A low-scoring encounter ends with a 24-run defeat for the Birl with the hosts bowled out for 121. A disappointing way to start the campaign but well done to Downsey for taking 3-13.

The chase is on at Birlingham where we’re hunting down a target of 146 after Ombersley were cleaned up in the final over of their innings. #upthebirl

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

My wife says she's leaving me due to my obsession with cricket.

I'll be honest, it's knocked me for six.

The sun’s setting on another season at Birlingham and it ends as it started - with victory. Bromsgrove finished on 227-8 - 51 short of our total.

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Bromsgrove need 79 off 18 balls...quite an ask.

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Two wickets in two balls from @mwebb7 reduce @BoarsCricket 4ths to 182-5 in pursuit of 279 - with just 5 overs left.

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Bromsgrove 4ths 100-3 with 16 overs left to chase down a distant 279 for victory. #uptheBirl

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Stu Lockwood gets the early breakthrough to leave Bromsgrove 12-1 in pursuit of 279. #uptheBirl

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Keylock’s unbeaten 108 has guided us to an imposing total. He received brilliant support from Alex Clasen who perished in the pursuit of quick late runs for 94. #uptheBirl

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Alex Clasen and Alan Keylock still going well for us at the half-way point against @BoarsCricket

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Not a huge target for our bowlers to defend - 156. Come on boys #UptheBirl

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

No margin for error today as we head to Cutnall Green for our penultimate group fixture. Nothing less than a win needed to keep the pressure on leaders @BarntGreenCC

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

@BarntGreenCC Keep him locked away when you’re playing us!

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

We’ve dished out a few thrashings this season but yesterday it was our turn to take a good hiding - going down by 150 runs to @BarntGreenCC All credit to the Green who leapfrog us at the top. It couldn’t be closer though.

[Birlingham CC @BirlinghamCC]

Stu Lockwood’s 6-wicket haul was the highlight of our victory over @HarvingtonCC yesterday. The boys stumbled in their pursuit of a meagre target of 78 but eventually got across the line - full scorecard https://t.co/sm7ww7oeVZ
