CORSHAM'S first venture in the National Knockout Cup ended in an 84-run defeat in the first round.
Corsham restricted the home side to 177 for eight in their 40 overs, with former Wiltshire captain Phil Thorn top scoring with 78 and Jamie Rowe retiring Corsham's best bowling figures of two for 15 from eight overs.
Corsham suffered an immediate setback when newcomer Mark Coxon was run out with only a single on the board before Neil Shardlow and Steve Copland shared a fifty partnership for the second wicket.
After their dismissals Corsham collapsed to 113 all out.
