Fordham’s good run continued with a four wicket victory at Kimbolton.

The hosts chose to bat first but were soon in trouble as Charlie Forden and Jason Harding claimed early wickets to reduce Kimbolton to 6-3.

Although they recovered to some degree with two worthy partnerships, only Chris Gilthorpe (62) and Tom Biddle (24) made any real impact with the bat as seven batsmen failed to score.

The home side were bowled out for 121 with Harding taking 3-24, Luke Duplooy 3-34, Forden 2-22 and Sam Buck 2-32.

It was never going to be easy for Fordham against left armers Martin Burton and Lee Ingram but Duplooy with 26 and Chris Summerskill laid the foundation with a steady opening partnership.

Then Gareth Summerskill held the innings together with a defiant innings of 33 against a strong attack.

With cameo contributions from other batsmen, Fordham eventually got over the line with four wickets and 4.2 overs to spare.
