WITH three games to go, Biddestone's title challenge continues unabated ahead of their biggest game of the season.
Kris Boulton's side have barely left the summit of Glos/Wilts all season and travel to second place Warminster on Saturday in a game which could decide the destination of the league.
"There is still a long way to go and Warminster have probably still got the upper hand because they have got an extra game, which could make the difference," said Boulton.
"But we are still in with a chance and we will carry on as we have been, trying to win games and put pressure on everyone else.
"It is the biggest game of the season for both sides."
Boulton had wanted to put some distance between themselves and Warminster before the clash and did so with a convincing win over struggling Lydney on Saturday.
Dwaine Perry (5-33) recovered from a bad start, seeing his first two overs go for 16 runs, as Mark Unwin (2-17), Naeem Khan (2-27) and Clint Bowyer (1-22) took control, setting Biddestone a meagre 115 to win.
The opening partnership of Martin Sawyer (0) and Bowyer (48) was disrupted through Sawyer's early dismissal but a 67-run stand between Bowyer and Perry (18) steadied the innings.
Perry was unfortunately out, ruled to have obstructed the field when the bowler threw the ball to the wicket keeper and the South African hit it, but a cameo innings from Doug Miller (35no) saw Biddestone romp to victory.
"It was a bizarre game," said Boulton "Batsmen obstructing the fielders, stumpings when you don't know where the ball is and batsmen playing a sweep and hitting his own stumps.
"They were 16-0 off two overs, then 30-5 and suddenly it was a different game."
