A FINE batting display helped Netherton record a winning draw against Monmouth.

All top six batsmen made contributions to the hosts total of 289-5, with Troy Lee (62) and Paul Harris (55) the top scorers.

Kamran Mehram also hit a quickfire 30 off just 12 balls to boost the score.

Monmouth’s reply was built around solid knocks from Fraser Kilgour (75) and Ben Turner (79 not out) after they lost opener Josh Grey for a duck.

But they could not match the hosts in terms of run rate as Darren Hall took 5-72 and they eventually finished on 245-7.

The result means Netherton stay seventh in an increasingly congested Worcester League Division Two.
