Brewood are firmly in the race for Birmingham League cricket following Saturday’s comfortable seven-wicket success over Penkridge.

Guest is now gearing up for a series of showdowns against their Staffs Clubs promotion rivals.

After travelling to struggling Bloxwich on Saturday, Guest’s men face successive games with fellow high-flyers Pelsall, Cannock & Rugeley and Springvale.

He said: “We have got some really big games coming up in the next few weeks.

“We need to get on a roll as soon as possible, because the side that does will be the one that wins the league.”

Tim Friend took the honours with the ball against Penkridge, bagging a second successive five-wicket haul as the visitors were bowled out for 184.

New Zealand all-rounder Keir Bettley also claimed three wickets before leading the successful run chase with a classy unbeaten century.
