CLICK HERE to see highlights from the 1st XI taking on Charlton Kings at the weekend.

The 2nd XI recorded their 9th win of the season with a home victory of the season.  Their cause was aided by Badminton only turning up with 9 players although those that did show up for the visitors certainly put in a good fielding performance as they restricted the hosts to 166 from their 40 overs.  The ever-reliable Graham Vinnicombe top scored with 63 whilst Matty Genever (37) and Mark Gardiner (27) were the other main contributors.

In reply, Mark Gardiner did the damage again with the ball taking 4-19 from his 10 overs.  His son Joe, Rich Mendum and  Jonny Johnson were the other wicket takers as Badminton reached a gallant 119.  It would surely take a freak set of results to deny the 2nd XI promotion this season, although this is Poulton we're talking about so a couple more wins should settle it.
