VETERAN seamer Phil Mackie took his 750th wicket for Old Vigornians as the seconds eased to victory over Stourbridge thirds at New Road.

The visitors were put into bat on a damp pitch and found life hard against the accurate OVs attack in the Worcestershire Cricket League Division Six clash.

Spinner Ian Robinson (2-20) made the early breakthroughs and after Stourbridge recovered to 80-3 Rob Lanchbury-Thomas and Mackie took key wickets.

Mackie bowled a miserly spell of 11-2-21-3 and Stourbridge only added 26 runs in the next 17 overs.

James Hayward-Meek (3-23) mopped up the tail as the Black Country side were dismissed for 106.

Although the Worcester outfit were briefly worried at 14-2 they made light work of the target, winning by seven wickets with 16 overs remaining.

Steve Campbell-Ferguson made 30, George Francis 27 not out and George Hayward-Meek carried his bat for 34no.

In Division Nine, Andrew Gandon (75) and Seb Wilkins (57) helped leaders Old Elizabethans thirds to a winning draw at Romsley and Hunnington seconds.

Third-placed Worcester thirds beat Five Ways Old Edwardians seconds by nine wickets while Ombersley thirds lost by 73 runs to Himbleton seconds who were led by Jem Rose (80) and Richard Pretty (69).
