Sat 1st XI Vs Nuneaton Away
Man of the match, Charlie Leonard, steered the Town 1's to a comfortable 87 run victory at Nuneaton that has leap frogged the Club into second place in the Warwickshire Cricket League Premier Division, as he starred with the bat and the ball. Leonard firstly made a superb 95 off 133 balls that included 9 x 4's as he put on 131 runs for the third wicket with Dave Edmunds who hit 58 off 81 balls, after the side had slumped to 6-2. Once Edmunds departed, Leonard went on to team up with with James Nason 30 to add another 57 run partnership and help the side to 228-5. However, the Nuneaton bowlers made a strong come back as the Town's innings fell away to 240 all out in 48.5 overs with Lee McNeill and Adam Walters leading the Nuneaton attack taking 4-41 and 4-38 respectively along with Tony Ingram, making his first appearance of the season, taking 2-65. In reply, Nuneaton made a rapid a start and were 67-2 after 12.1 overs as opener John Allen made 22 but Leonard wiped out any chance of a run chase when he took a fine 4-33. Adam Walters and Fraser Plowman made 29 each but the side could not cling on for a draw after Mitch Lowe had taken 3-31 and Gregg Peebles 1-32, whilst keeper, Mark Deeley snapped up 4 catches behind the stumps. It was left to spinner Geoff Edmunds 2-12 to wrap up the fine Town win as he trapped Dean LBW with just more than 3 overs to go which gave Kenilworth a maximum 24 points and Nuneaton 6. Kenilworth are now in 2nd place in a very tight WACL Premier Division 6 points behind leaders Solihull Blossomfield and the dream of Birmingham League cricket lives on, although only 25 points separate the top 9 sides after 10 matches played.

Sat 1st XI Vs King’s Heath Away
A sudden ending meant Kenilworth were denied the chance of victory, when well placed and batting well in their run chase but had to settle with 6 pts against Kings Heath, as the match was abandoned.

Opener James Nason made 25 with Joe Haynes and Dave Edmunds unbeaten on 18 and 11, respectively.

Sat 1st XI Vs Fillongley Home

Sat 1st XI Vs Southam Away
RUN-HUNGRY Kenilworth opened their Warwickshire League Premier Division campaign by getting much the better of a draw at neighbours Southam on Saturday. Kenilworth won toss and had no hesitation in making first use of a fine track with short boundaries. Mitch Lowe topped scored with a brutal 79 off 47 balls, which included eight 6s, while there were also useful contributions from Dave Edmunds 59 off 50 balls and opener Mark Wisdish 48. The innings finished with a flourish as Matt Rees 22 put on 71 off only 41 balls with Lowe for the eighth wicket which lifted the total to a healthy 280 for 8 from their 50 overs. Dave Hawkes was the most successful bowler by returning 3-73 with support coming from Rob Edom 2-23, skipper Daniel Vernon 2-68 and Michael Clements 1-25 but Southam’s cause was not helped by the late arrival of one of their players meaning they spent 25 overs fielding with only ten men. In reply Southam limped to 13 for 2 in eight overs thanks to Gregg Peebles who removed Matt Goatley and Chris Bramley who made a big hundred in last years fixture. A 67 run partnership between Hawkes and Luke Nelly gave Southam a glimmer of hope but when the latter departed it was left to Hawkes, who made a stubborn 70 off 109 balls, to hold the innings together. The efforts of Hawkes ensured Southam staved off the threat of defeat and they closed on 175 for 8. Gregg Peebles led the visitors attack with 3-28, while Mitch Lowe claimed 2-35 and there was one wicket apiece for skipper Geoff Edmunds, Dave Edmunds and debutant Joe Haynes.
