Youngsters Lose to Victoria

A Worcestershire academy XI lost to Kidderminster Victoria by 5 wickets today.

Victoria, who claim to be “the biggest club in Hereford and Worcester” won the match with a six!

There are links between the two teams – with players such as Josh Knappett and Will Gifford playing their club cricket for them.

The academy XI batted first, with Alexei Kervezee impressing the most, scoring 64.

In reply, another off the D’Oliveira conveyor belt, Brett claimed 3-22 and young seamer Richard Jones 2-6.

There were no players playing who are likely to start on Wednesday, although Jones’ impressive contribution with the ball will make sure he is not far from the fringes of the first XI.
