CORSHAM have gone top of the Stroud and Swindon Premier League after a simple six wicket win over Keynsham on Saturday.
Keynsham won the toss and elected to bat first, but scored slowly against the accurate and disciplined bowling of Corsham's six seam bowlers.
They lost wickets at regular intervals and crawled to 97 all out after 49 overs.
Wiltshire seamer Toby Sharpe was the pick of the Corsham bowlers, taking five wickets, with Paul Clifford and Paul Marsh taking two wickets each and skipper Craig Gibbens chipping in with one
Roger Sillence and Ranadeb Bose also bowled well.
Corsham made light work of the run chase, securing victory within 25 overs.
Sillence made a quick and powerful 41, aided by two knocks in the teens from Richard Greatorex and Marsh.
Corsham will be looking to maintain their title challenge when they entertain Taunton tomorrow.
