Wilcot's unbeaten start to the season came to an end with a below-par performance away at Beckington.

On a poor pitch of variable pace and bounce, Wilcot were bowled out for just 54 as Ben Keevil (6-28) exploited the favourable conditions.

Earlier, the home side had appeared set for a large total, with the openers being severe on some loose bowling.

The dismissal of Chris Weare (47) helped to stem the flow of runs, and Jordan Wren (4-27) continued his run of good form with the ball.

Graham Smith was typically economical, and deserved more than his 1-15 from 12 overs. Alex Keevil (36) made quick runs in the middle order, but the Beckington innings subsided from a strong position to finish on 181-9.

This proved more than adequate, however, as the visitors proved unable to build any partnerships in their reply, and they were shot out in just 23 overs.
