ALREWAS bounced back to winning ways with a two-wicket triumph at Spondon.

The Herons sent their hosts into bat after winning the toss and saw both openers return to the pavilion with just 49 runs clocked up.

Paul Dawson claimed a second wicket for Alrewas as he removed Ali Dixon on 39 to leave the scoreboard reading 80-3.

Spondon’s Joshua Brear struck an important 68, but few players hung around to form a partnership with him as they slipped to 135-7.

Tail-ender Paul Allen eventually joined Brear to offer some resistance, but when the latter was bowled by Craig Swinfield with the score on 187 the writing looked to be on the wall.

Allen eventually went after a knock of 24, as the Spondon innings ended on 191-9.

Will Smedley was the pick of the bowlers as he finished with figures of 3-29.

The Herons struggled early on in their response as they slipped to 33-3.

But Tevyn Walcott’s 40 and a 29 from Stephen Cole got them back on track before the latter was bowled by Oliver Kellogg to leave Alrewas on 89-3.

William Hodgkinson’s unbeaten 49 proved to be decisive as he helped Alrewas past the total with two wickets in hand.
