Bishops Hull's first and second XI's continued their pre-season campaigns with clashes against North Curry.

Hull responded fiercely, with top scorer Josh Basham's 41 not out leading the charge.

Yet, it was a nail-biting last wicket stand in the final over that secured Hull's victory.

Meanwhile, the second XI match faced an early close, with rain stopping play in the eleventh over, leaving Curry at 43 for four.

Both matches served as fundraisers for the Barney Webber Foundation, with the bar and BBQ open for fans.
