A heroic Steve Rhodes number 10 batting display saw Kenilworth Cricket Club sneak a one-wicket win over Hampton and Solihull with just nine balls remaining.

Rhodes' unbeaten 42 saw Kenilworth catch Hampton and Solihull's 218 for six to record another Warwickshire Cricket League Division One victory on Saturday.

A ninth wicket partnership saw Rhodes and Matt Casey (20) hit 61 crucial runs, adding to Tom Booker's 66 and Pat Howard's 29.

Tailender Rhodes blasted three sixes and two fours in his hard-hitting knock to seal the win, despite Keyte taking 4-66 and Rollinson 3-30 for Hampton.

Earlier, Connor Shingler had claimed 3-39 whilst Stuart Cope, Darius Potten-Ravenshad and Casey picked up a wicket each for Kenilworth.

Kenilworth 2nd XI v. Knowle Village

Kenilworth Cricket Club's second XI fell agonisingly short as they lost by just four runs to Knowle in their Warwickshire Cricket League Division Seven East clash this weekend.

The seconds were bowled out for 221 in the final over as they looked to chase down Knowle's 225.

Kapil Dubey (22) and Sam Leach (14 not out) had added 37 for the 10th wicket with Dubey smashing 15 from the penultimate over.

Dan Horner had set Kenilworth up well in the run chase as he made a fine 95 but his efforts were in vain as Stringer took 3-43, Mahood 2-29, Rose 2-40 and Langford 2-50 for Knowle.

Knowle had started shakily losing six wickets for 34 runs in their innings, but recovered with Tamplin making 47, White 42 and Mahood 34.

Kenilworth 3rd XI v. Southam

Kenilworth's third XI secured a comfortable 114-run victory over Southam to keep their hunt for the league title on the front foot. 192-5 (21 points) (40 overs) beat Southam 78-10 (2 points) (21.5 overs) by 114 runs.

Southam were skittled out for 78 in just 22 overs after Tom Skinner took a stunning 6-12 from his 5.2 overs. Matt Dadswell then added 3-19 from his six overs.

Earlier the town side had posted 192 for five from their 40 overs as Mark Stranks (82) and Dave Smithson (39) combined for a 130-run second wicket.

Skipper Steve Kelley then chipped in with an unbeaten 24 after Ward had taken 2-24 and Aguihotri 2-44 for Southam.

Skinner then ripped through the host's line up as only two batsmen reached double figures with Williams top scoring with 38.
