Goatacre produced a superb all-round display to thrash Wiltshire rivals Warminster and move into second place in Glos/Wilts One.

An unbeaten century by Peter Turner helped set Goatacre up for a 150-run victory.

After winning the toss and batting, Sam Parish's side lost Steve Lines early on, but a stand of 85 in 14 overs between Steve Gee and Matt Wilkins set them on their way, with Gee racing to 71 at better than a run a ball before being bowled with the score on 98.

Goatacre were then reduced to 100-4 after Wilkins was trapped lbw and his brother Jif was bowled without scoring, but Turner and Kevin Iles steadied the ship until Iles was caught for 26 with the score on 134.

Turner then began to dominate the Warminster attack, and with support from Ed Wilkins, took the score to over 200 before Wilkins was caught for 30.

Dan Horton then joined Turner and they proceeded to put on an unbroken partnership of 103 in the last 10 overs.

Horton finished on 39, including three consecutive sixes, and Turner brought up his hundred in the last over with a six as Goatacre ended up on a massive 311-6.

Warminster were never in the hunt after Jif Wilkins and Kevin Iles (13-4-28-3) had reduced them to 35-3.

Dan Horton then produced his best spell of the season, taking two wickets, to leave Warminster on 63-6, and despite some late hitting from Pinchens and Beauchamp they could only muster 161.

Sunday saw Goatacre progress to the regional semi-final of the National Village Competition with a 110-run victory against Spye Park.

Fifties from senior players Steve Lines and Kevin Iles, and a swiftly-struck unbeaten 39 from John Wilkins led Goatacre to 235-7.

In reply, Spye Park were never in the hunt for victory and ended 125 all out from 37.5 overs.

Lines was the pick of the bowlers with 4-28, although Rhan Heer's spell of 9-6-9-1 deserves special mention.

Goatacre entertain Lechlade next Sunday with a 2.30pm start.

n Goatacre 2nd team had an equally comfortable win away at local rivals Malmesbury.

Good bowling from the young opening attack of Wakefield and Miller, backed up by spinners Duboulay and Curtis, who between them bowled 22 overs for 32 runs, restricted the home side to 134-7 in their 45 overs.

Goatacre's reply was dominated by a match-winning 53 not out from veteran Graham Iles as they reached their target for the loss of three wickets .
