SAM Speight and Abdulwali Safi picked up four wickets each as Whittington got the better of Wolverhampton 3rds.

The villagers won the toss and sent the visitors in to bat first – and it proved to be the right decision as five players failed to register a run as the bowlers enjoyed their afternoon.

Tanvir Jibul made the first breakthrough when he had Harry Hodgson caught by Speight, before Safi bowled the other opener Akeel Ahmed and then removed Ansh Koli for a duck to leave Wolverhampton on 36-3.

Archie Bridgwood offered some resistance, but he was caught by Shazad Malik off Speight's bowling after scoring 31 from 50 balls.

Whittington eventually skittled out the visitors for just 94, with Speight finishing with4-37 and Safi taking 4-22.

The hosts needed to avoid any early wobbles to prevent Wolverhampton from getting any sniff of a way back into the game – and they duly delivered as openers Malik and Charlie Bennett hit 22 and 52 not out respectively.

Whittington never looked like failing to reach the target as they wrapped up the win in little more than 30 overs for the loss of just four wickets.
