WILTSHIRE suffered a heavy 105-run defeat to Suffolk in their second Unicorns KO Trophy match of the season at Ipswich School today.

Ed Young's side, one-wicket winners over Buckinghamshire at Warminster last weekend, paid the price for a top-order batting collapse as they attempted to chase down the home side's 267-8.

The home side were indebted to opener Martyn Cull, whose 93 from 127 balls anchored their 50-over innings.

Ben Shepperson added 32 from 30 balls and Tom Rash 22 from 22 balls, while skipper Adam Mansfield (28 from 28 balls) and Matt Salisbury (33 not out) added to the tally with some late hitting.

For the visitors James Arney and Andy Carroll both took two wickets each.

The reply was hampered by the bowling of Salisbury, who removed Wiltshire's top three of Wes Durston, Tom Morton and Will Wade, none of whom reached double figures, while skipper Young went for a seven-ball duck to leave the visitors in trouble at 19-4.

Mike Coles (16) and Potterne's Neil Clark (51 from 55 deliveries) put up some resistance, but other than 44 from Ashur Morrison, few other batsmen were able to make an impact as they subsided to 162 all out in the 33rd over.

Wiltshire host Bedfordshire at Warminster CC next Sunday (11am).
