🏏 Season ends in defeat at Eastnor

Herefordshire’s NCCA Western Division 1 campaign ended with an eight-wicket defeat to Berkshire inside two days. After being bowled out for 138, skipper Luke Tulacz led the resistance with an unbeaten 60, before Berkshire built a commanding first-innings lead thanks to James Isbell’s 151.

There were positives in the second innings, with teenage opener Henry Hardinges hitting an impressive 65, Tulacz adding another 65 and George Hallam making 31 as Herefordshire reached 234.

Berkshire chased the 46 required for victory for the loss of two wickets.
A disappointing end to a difficult Championship season, but some encouraging individual performances to take forward.
