U13 Red: Leaders Wootton Bassett bowled out Cannings for just 27 thanks to Christopher Stewart (3-3) and Jack Paish (3-12).

Taylor Aitken (16no) then saw Bassett through to a comfortable nine wicket victory.

Robert Poole (32) and Dewi Evans (50) enabled Biddestone to recover to reach 196-9 at Devizes after Joe Downey (3-35) and Jack Hopper (2-44) had made early inroads.

The Biddestone bowling attack of Liam Boulton (3-12), Evans (2-7), Scott Trainor (2-3) and James Howells (2-9) then proved too strong for the home side who were dismissed for 54 in 24 overs as Biddestone won by 142 runs.

Swindon totalled 197-9 at Malmesbury with major contributions from Jonathan Sore (52), Elliott Knight (32) and Matthew Hobbs (26no). Theo Humphries (2-42), Theo Blundell (2-33), J Roberts (2-40) and B Saunders (2-40) shared the wickets for Malmesbury. In reply, Malmesbury collapsed to 17 all out against the bowling of Dalraj Bahia (3-2) and Matthew Cheetham (3-0) to leave Swindon winners by 182 runs.
