IN the Lords SDCA Premier League, Byron Fry was the difference between the two sides as he hit a superb 135 of Leonard Stanley’s 203 at Tormarton.

Steve Goodwin took 5-32 for the home team who were then limited to 125ao as Fry took 5-30 to cap a memorable individual game.

Two shock results and the first a none more bigger one at Hardwicke where the home team dismantled Frocester IV.

Gareth Lees hit an unbeaten 119 including 16 fours and a six as Hardwicke posted 207-8.

Chris Hutchings with 5-25 and Paul Lane (4-12) then tore through the Frocester batting to see them dismissed for 53.

In the second shock the usual runfest at Woodchester did not appear. First Tom Shearman and Dave Gordon took four wickets each as Woodchester reached 129-9 on a tricky surface.

Minch found batting even more difficult on a wicket that defied predictions of settling down as they folded to 70 all out - Sam Wear and Paul Carter both took four wickets.

Rich Powis (34), Anth Perrins (38) and Brian Phillips (26*) contributed to Eastcombe’s 154-9 at Bisley where Ben Hunt took 4-33.

Bisley seemed in control with Gerry Baker hitting 39 as they reached 104-4 but then collapsed to 134 all out as Paul Morss (3-45), Mike Niblett (3-40) and wicketkeeper Pete Small (!) took 3-2.

Finally the toss was vital at Slimbridge where Rockhampton III invited the home team to bat. Tom Cullimore then took 5-15 to limit the home team to 100.

Despite the loss of two early wickets D Hill with 52 not out saw the leaders to a seven- wicket win.
