Wiltshire under 17s recorded their first championship success in three years when they beat Bedfordshire by six wickets at Devizes.

On day one, as Bedfordshire steadily piled on the runs in sweltering conditions, Muzawazi scoring a cultured 100 not out, leaving Wilts to chase an unlikely target of 385 off 106 overs on day two.

Wilts started steadily with an opening partnership of 71 before Eddie Abel was out for 25. Mark Adams of Chippenham joined Andrew Davies of Box, and quickly set about building a match-winning partnership.

Davies batted superbly, and was well supported by a tentative Adams as he powered to an unbeaten 100.

Davies continued to dominate, but Adams was eventually dismissed for a measured 50.

Davies finished unbeaten on 218, only the second double hundred scored in the history of youth cricket in Wiltshire.

Coach Jon Williams said: "This victory is another example of the significant steps we have taken as a county, in the last two years. The under 17s have beaten Dorset and Bedfordshire, our under15s have beaten Wales and Herefordshire, the under 12s have beaten Berkshire, and the under 13s have beaten Somerset all within 14 days."
