GUILSFIELD maintained their early season title tilt with a six wicket conquest at home to Cound IIs.

Allan Williams (3-22) included opener Farrell Waters (13) in his early haul before Gareth Griffiths (3-15) took centre stage.

Support from David Harris (2-22), David Williams (1-18) and Duncan Todd (1-12) left Craig Coxon (48no) and Cound IIs all out for 105.

Andy Pugh carried his bat with an unbeaten knock of 48 in reply.

Jordan Evans offered support before departing to Owen Brayne (1-32) for 23 while Tom Quaraishi (2-22) included Dave Lewis (10) in his haul.

However Pugh (48no) would not be moved and was joined by Todd (9no) in guiding Guilsfield to 106-4 and glory in the 23rd over of their reply.
