WILTSHIRE YOUTH LEAGUE: U13 Red Division - SWINDON completed an emphatic 145-run victory at home to Malmesbury after posting an imposing 200 runs for the loss of six wickets.

The innings was built on a 68 opening partnership between Steve Laggett (67) and Chris Aubrey (29) and followed up by an explosive innings of 57 in 36 balls from Will Holmes.

And within six overs the pair claimed the remaining seven wickets, with Laggett ending up with figures of 3-2-2-4 and Sore 2.5-1-3-3.
