Guilsfield continue fine start
With rain forecasted, early wickets were key and Guilsfield’s bowlers shared them around to dismiss their visitors for just 109.
It was then down to the batsmen to beat the incoming rain with Twinkle Jose blasting a swashbuckling 68 not out from 32 balls, supported by fellow opener Andy Flann (37).
The seven-wicket win puts them third, just three spots above Welshpool who picked up their third win on the bounce at Newport II.
Welshpool were dismissed for 149 with Charlie Kinsey (41no) top scoring, but it was the bowlers who secured victory with a brilliant response whittling the hosts out for 140. Matt McWhinnie (4-26) and Rob Anderson (4-23) being the chief destroyers.
Newtown’s match at St George’s fell victim to the rain midway through in the Premier League, and Montgomery’s Division One encounter at Quatt II went the same way.
Llanidloes and Newtown II sit second and third respectively in Division Four after wins on Saturday.
Harry Jones took 3-30 as Llanidloes were set 189-6 by Priorslee to chase, allowing Josh Hugo (76), Andrew Jones (45no) and Rob Davies (38no) to secure an eight-wicket win.
Freddie Roberts took 3-14 as Newtown II dismissed Harpers for just 130, paving the way for Russell Powell (47) to lead the charge to victory in the 39th over.
