Goodrich 2nds travelled to Hereford City Sports in search of a much needed win in their relegation battle having lost their previous Marches Division 2 match.

The sun was shining, and stand in skipper Beddard won the toss and elected to bowl, with the hope of trying to control the game and ensure a good points haul.
