Superb ton continues Builth's form

Sujeewa Senarathne was the hero for Builth Wells - as he struck a superb 143 not out on the Bulls’ way to an incredible run chase against Garnons.

The Bulls have enjoyed an impressive run of form since moving up to the Worcestershire Cricket League Division Six South - and were top heading into the weekend.

And they added to that lead with a thumping nine wicket victory - having chased down a difficult total.

They lost the toss at Garth Road - and spent the first innings toiling in the field.

Visiting skipper Craig Lawrence, 23, and George Debenham, 86, put on 89 for the first wicket before Lawrence departed.

Debenham, along with Paul Williams, 55, added a further103 runs, as they visiting side were 202-2.

They managed to take three more wickets but the middle order ramped up the score, with Garnons closing on 270/5 from their 45 overs.

Ben Cripps was the pick of the bowlers as he took 3-53, but it was a difficult afternoon in the field.

However, despite chasing a big total, the Builth top order made light work of it to say the least.

Neil Harris and Sujeewa Senarathne put in 149 for the first wicket, before Harris fell ten runs short of his century.

Senarathne finished not out on 143 from 100 balls, as they strolled to victory in 32 overs.
