Here's our latest review of the Gloucestershire Seniors Cricket action and a list of next week's fixtures ...
GLOUCESTERSHIRE Over 70s made it four from four with a tremendous nine-wicket away victory against Dorset who were restricted to 153-7 after winning the toss.
The home side were soon on the back foot at 3-2 and never recovered as Andy Howe (2-29 from seven), Geoff Eaves (1-16 from eight), Andy Kear (1-19 from eight) and Mike Pearson (1-27 from seven) all kept the pressure on.
Opener Bill Lawrence then quickly extinguished any Devon hopes with a blistering 83 from 65 (18 fours) as Gloucestershire raced to their target in les than 24 overs.
Gloucestershire Over 50s succumbed by 94 runs at home to Wales at Westbury-on-Severn Cricket Club, skipper Richard Trotman top scoring on 58.
Wales went on to complete a hat-trick of victories, trumping the 2nds by 59 runs at Whitchurch Cricketclub , and edging the 3rds by seven wickets at Rockhampton Cricket Club despite opener Chris McCormack’s 108 from 121 (11 fours).
And Gloucestershire Over 50s 4ths were unable to prevent a clean sweep of defeats despite piling up 324-5 from their 45 away to Somerset.
Openers Ian Robson (96) and Dan Spence (73) found form in a huge total, but the home side secured a two-wicket triumph chasing a reduced target of 298 from 40, Steve Powell grabbing 3-47.
Gloucestershire Over 60s 2nds, meanwhile, romped in by nine wickets at home to Cornwall at Long Ashton Cricket Club.
The visitors struggled to 132-7 from 37 overs after winning the toss, Dennis Mullings finishing with fine figures of 4-21 from eight before Neil Wilson (48) and Steve Witcomb (44) shared an unbroken stand of 71 to bank the points.
The 60s 3rds went down by two wickets at home to Warwickshire at Ruardean Hill Cricket Club despite the considerable efforts of Martin Hopkins who top scored on 46 and followed up with a haul of 4-29 from eight.
And the 60s 4ths finished 36 runs short away to Wales, Andy Malpas taking 3-24 from eight.
