On a flat batting track the Shobdon openers started attacking from the off, with the pace of the bowlers being exploited on the small ground. I Probert (21) & C Burke (50) made the most of any wide or short bowling before T Ammonds (86) came in to enjoy the flat track. Unfortunately for Shobdon no other batsmen got a start and Goodrich dismissed them for a below par 214 in the final over. The pick of the Goodrich bowlers were L Phillips-page 3-33 and M Bradford 2-28.
In response Goodrich also shot off like a rocket with A Robbins (58) & R Davies (56) putting on 80 for the first wicket in the first 11 overs. Skipper A Brown (28) then put on 62 with Davies and a further 28 with O'Brien before Goodrich stuttered, losing 4 wickets for only 20 runs leaving the score on 191 for 7. However with 10 overs left Phillips-page and E Pyatt saw the club home without any further distress.
This victory gives Goodrich another maximum point victory and keeps the pressure on the two teams above them, Garnons & Luctonians. Goodrich play Luctonians at The Avenue, Goodrich this coming weekend in another top of the table clash.
