XI came up against 'tail-end Charlie' resistance, and not for
the first time this term either when hosts Barton closed on
160-9 in reply to the Bradninch offering of 225-5.
Lukas Fencl struck a superb unbeaten 75 and there was also a
knock of 43 from the veteran Andy Nicholls and an unbeaten 41
from Matt Jarrett.
Syed Hussain then claimed 4-39 and both skipper Phil Chappell
and young Jarrett bagged a brace but the home side stood firm
and closed the game out with a losing draw.
Chappell's side sit fifth heading into next Saturday’s home
meeting with second placed Plymouth.
There will be 24 points between the sides at the star of play
and so, a home win would launch the side into the promotion
picture with just five games to play when the stumps are drawn
on Saturday night.
