Mainstay Group racked up a massive score against last year’s semi-finalists Savills to win by 66 runs in the Warwickshire Taverners Trophy this week.
Contributions of 35 not out from Brace, Lucas and Henry helped build a commanding total. There was more style than substance from Edd Corfield of Mainstay who swung so hard he finished lying on the turf motionless.
Matthew Brace took 2 for 6 in his two overs for Mainstay with Savills limited to 136 for 7 in their 16 overs.

An innocent diary mix up saw DTZ take the points in their fixture with Wragge and Co.
