Nottinghamshire Academy picked up their third positive result in as many weeks as they comprehensively defeated visitors Farnsfield by ten wickets at Notts Sports Club.

The home side were on the front foot from the off, winning the toss and choosing to bowl first with Simon Walton bowling Matt Sisson for nine in the second over.

In the fourth over Walton struck again with Wilson hitting his own wicket on one and it was 18-3 when Brett Hutton was bowled by Ben Kitt off his first ball.

Liam Delaney joined Callum McKenzie and the fifty came up off the last ball of the tenth over before the visitors found themselves in trouble again.

Delaney had made 11 before he edged to second slip where Dan Freeman took the catch, Elliott Bowles taking his first wicket with the score on 62-4.

The visitors then lost three wickets with the score on 75, Simon Webster removing Curtis Mitchell before Bowles took the wickets of McKenzie (37) and Jamie Wagstaff (0) off consecutive balls.

Mark Hallam came in but was out for just three, Bowles taking another wicket on his way to figures of 4-18 from his nine overs.

David Loveridge was next to the crease but was caught and bowled by Adam Tillcock for two and with the first ball of the 31st over James Bowker (6) was caught by Moores off Tillcock, Farnsfield all out for 108.

The Academy opened with Joe New and Tom Moores in reply and despite offering a couple of chances they chased the total down without loss.

Moores once again impressed, reaching his fifty from just 50 deliveries, to back up the century he scored in the win over West Indian Cavaliers last week.

The winning runs came from the first ball of the 19th, the final score 109-0, Tom Moores 54 not out and Joe New 39 not out, a win for the Academy by ten wickets.
