CUTNALL Green (89-1) lost to Worcester Nomads B (92-5) in the final over, but finished Worcestershire Indoor League Worcester Division One runners-up on batting average.

Green’s Steve Shuck (15) was bowled by Derek Austin, but Matt Harris (24 not out) and Paul Hutchins (19no) impressed.

Nomads could not close the difference on averages when they lost the first two wickets to direct throws.

The win arrived in the last over as Tim Dobinson-Law (17), Derek Austin (13), James Ridge (18), Oli Ranscombe (21) and Sean Buttler (15 no) all contributed.

Green go to finals night on Sunday at 6.30pm, at Royal Grammar School, Worcester, against Nomads A.

Droitwich (104-6) beat Old Vigornians (67-6) by 37 runs to win the Division Two title.

Nomads C (100 all out) beat West Malvern (91-5) by nine runs.

Nomads’ Jamie Oliver, the division’s top run-scorer, produced a confident 67 before being run out in the final over, while 17 wides were added to their total.

West, without leading scorer Kevin Gilbert, saw Will Jones (20) and Will Lloyd (21) provide an opening partnership of 55 before they were run out.

The other batsmen struggled on but needed 34 from the last two overs, which proved too much.
