OMBERSLEY moved out of the Birmingham League Premier Division bottom two with a 121-run victory via DLS at Moseley.

The hosts were on 116-8 from 28.5 overs in pursuit of 215-7 when the match was abandoned. 

Josh Haynes (60) and Nick Hammond (58 not out) put on 81 for the sixth wicket after Ombersley slipped to 75-5. 

Oliver Uffindall took 5-33 from 8.5 overs when the game was ended prematurely. 

Barnt Green are all but mathematically safe from relegation despite the abandonment of their game with Dorridge. 

If Dorridge pull off a surprise win over Knowle and Dorridge to survive, the other relegated side with Wolverhampton will be the one that loses a vital match between Ombersley and Kenilworth Wardens on Saturday. 

Despite going down to a four-wicket defeat to lowly Brockhampton via DLS, Kidderminster will return to the top flight in 2019 as Division One champions.

Batting first, Kidderminster reached 213-5 from 46 overs with a top score of 68 from Richard Kimberlin. 

Brockhampton’s innings was reduced to 25 overs due to rain and they faced a revised target of 148 which they duly reached with one over to spare. 

Worcestershire’s Daryl Mitchell played a major part in their success with 45 helped by 41 from Jamie McIlroy.

Charlie Stainforth took 3-26 for Kidderminster as Brockhampton leapfrogged Wellington who dropped to the bottom of the table.

Bromsgrove are safe from relegation but their woeful record in the 50-over format continued with a 73-run defeat at Barnards Green. 

George Rhodes (57) and Adam Wiffen (44) were the leading batsmen as Green closed on 204-8 in 40 overs with Ash Newfield (4-42) and Gareth Williams (3-19) the pick of the bowlers.

Bromsgrove collapsed to 131 all out after a promising start as Ryan Pedley hit 56 with Josh Blunt taking 4-24 and Andy Ford 3-26 for Green. 

In Division Two, Conor Adams hit 49 in an Astwood Bank total of 181 all out in 46 overs at Pershore who finished seven runs short on 174-7 with Alex Clasen undefeated on 66.

Half-centuries from Jamie Boyle (65) and Lee Dixon (53) helped Worcester’s Old Elizabethans to 213-7 in 40 overs against Redditch who responded with 125 all out. 

Rowan Upton took 4-24 to lift OEs off the foot of the Division Three table.
