FORMER Gloucestershire professional Nick Trainor blasted Chippenham out of the National Knockout Cup on Sunday 28 April.

Trainor made 135 at better than a run a ball to lead Frocester to a daunting total of 228 for seven in their 43 overs. His innings included 18 fours and five sixes.

Chippenham never looked like matching the asking rate, with stand-in skipper Jason Searle top scoring with 37 as they closed on 161 for nine.
