Lympsham lost at home to Coalpit Heath by seven wickets on a wet and windy day.
LYMPSHAM hosted newly-relegated Coalpit Heath on a wet and windy day and things got worse when the home side lost the toss and were asked to bat.
Opener Mike Tucker dug deep as wickets started to tumble. Only Jack Luff showed any real resistance in the middle overs, but once they were both removed, it left the home side on a disappointing 47-6.
Stand-out batsmen Dave Luff provided some quality at the bottom of the order with a well deserved 29, but wickets continued to fall and Lympsham ended on a below par 98.
After tea, Lympsham showed a glimmer of hope with captain Luff making an early breakthrough. The introduction of Lympsham Concrete player of the match Sophie Luff picked up two more wickets and finished with fantastic figures of 4-1-7-2, but it was not enough as the visitors reached their target in the 28th over for the loss of just three wickets.
