ST ALBANS WEST INDIANS are within touching distance of a place in Division Eight after a comprehensive victory against Langleybury fourth XI on Saturday, August 10.

Bury won the toss and elected to bat on a slow wicket but failed to deal with the Saints' attack as Fitz Stapleton continued his recent impressive form to take 4-29 in 16 overs.

Nem Williams also bowled economically, collecting 3-23 from 20 overs as Windies skittled their opponents out for 107.

In reply, Nem Williams struck a quick-fire 19 before Kingsley Simmons (32) and Harvey Henry (38 not out) eased Windies to victory.

Martin Bovell's men travel to Old Owens second XI on Saturday in a bid to clinch promotion and take another step towards the Division Nine title.
