HEREFORDSHIRE Under-10s thrashed Gwent Ebbw Vale by 104 runs at Ebbw Vale Cricket Club.
Opener Freddie Ammonds was the mainstay of Herefordshire's innings with an impressive 78 not out, while George Skerrett and James Pattison also batted very well with scores of 23 and 21 respectively.
Herefordshire were eventually bowled out for 156 in 34 overs.
In reply, Gwent had no answer to Herefordshire's opening bowlers Tom Kennedy and Pattison, who quickly reduced the home team to 8-6 due to disciplined, accurate swing bowling.
The home team reached 52 before Kennedy returned to the attack to take the final wicket, meaning he finished with excellent bowling figures of 3-3.
Pattison ended the innings with four wickets for seven runs from his terrific opening burst.
The fielders also played their part, taking three catches and causing a run out.
