In-Form Seconds In Action At Cheltenham College

In-Form Seconds In Action At Cheltenham College

Worcestershire Seconds return to action tomorrow when they take on their Gloucestershire counterparts in a three-day friendly at Cheltenham College.

The Seconds have launched the campaign with back to back wins in the Second Eleven Championship over Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

Tom Fell will make another appearance following his return to action after being given the all clear in his battle against cancer in the lymph nodes.

Fell scored 72 off 73 balls against Northants at Kidderminster.

He then followed that up yesterday with 111 for Wolverhampton in a Birmingham League Premier Division encounter against West Bromwich Dartmouth.

Second Eleven coach Kevin Sharp said: "He looked as if he had never been away to be honest. He is feeling a lot better in himself now.

"I think he probably just needs a few days cricket now and he will be challenging for a spot pretty soon.

"Once he has had a few days cricket behind him, I'm sure he will be pushing for a place."

Lincolnshire paceman Alex Willerton, who impressed Sharp in taking seven wickets against Northants, is again included.
