Kenilworth Cricket Club lifted the Cotswold Hills Cricket League Division Six despite their match again Bearley being abandoned due to the weather.

In a bittersweet end to the league season, the Kenilworth third XI became the deserved league champions after losing just three matches all season.

Only 12 overs of play were possible against Bearley who found themselves on 62 for two when rain prevented further play.

James Sparks picked up both wickets with 2-25.

Skipper Steve Kelley said: "The veterans and youngsters in the side have had a great and solid season, the best for many years with some great performances by many players. Winning the title is the icing on the cake for all their commitment and efforts.

"The youngsters have performed particularly well in senior cricket this season and this can only bode well for the club and its future. Well done to them and to all the others who have played for the side this year."
