TOM Richards’ four wickets weren’t enough to prevent struggling Calne slipping to their fifth straight defeat last weekend.

Dan Knight’s side batted first, with opener Courtney Earl top-scoring for the hosts with 60.

Sean Adams and Glen Robinson made 22 and 20 respectively but Nationwide House’s Stuart Archer was on target with the ball as he took four wickets for just 12 runs.

The visitors’ Chris Trewhalla also claimed three as Calne posted 144-9.

Nationwide’s Jonathon Clarke hit an unbeaten 65 in reply with Joe Perkins also not out on 29.

Richards took four for 49 but the visitors reached 145-5 in the 38th over to claim victory
