Colwall suffered a comprehensive 66-run home defeat to Frocester in the West of England Premier League Glos-Wilts Division 1.

Replying to Frocester's 222-9, the Herefordshire club lost early wickets and were eventually dismissed for 156, despite an impressive 56 off only 77 deliveries from Lee Hankins, and 31 from Australian all-rounder Pete Thomas.

Spinner Easto played a leading role in Colwall's downfall, bagging 3-44 in an impressive 13-over spell.

Previously, opening batsman Whincup (86) was the mainstay of the Frocester innings, which yielded a competitive total.

Once again Thomas (4-47 from 15 overs) was the pick of the Colwall attack the seamer he also claimed the scalp of former Gloucestershire batsman Trainor for just 15.

Thomas was backed up by spinner Dave Sutton (3-76) and wicketkeeper Steve Ferguson, who claimed three stumpings, but the Frocester total proved well beyond the reach of the Colwall batsmen.
