Hereford increased their lead at the top of the Worcestershire County League Division 3 when they blew away a nine-man bottom-of-the-table Himbleton at the Racecourse.
They took maximum points from a 254-run win, while their main rivals Belbroughton could only manage a winning draw against third-placed Barnards Green.
After losing the toss and being invited to bat, Hereford took advantage of the extra gaps to rattle up 301-6 in their allotted overs.
David Scott anchored the innings with a patient 95 and, with support from Ashley Brown (18), skipper Phil Hunt (24), and David Mokler (47), formed the basis of a large total. David Price (55) and Marlon Franklin (22) enjoyed an unbeaten stand against the flagging fielding side.
The Himbleton reply was a non event as they failed to resist the straight quick bowling of Franklin. He clean bowled seven batsmen in five overs to finish with 7-20. With Ben Mason picking up the other wicket, the visitors were all out in 10 overs for 47.
