Morris Motors suffered their first defeat of the season as they went down by 24 runs to lowly Wendover at Crescent Road.

The visitors piled up 200-6 with Gurney (73) leading the way.

Some injudicious batting from the usually reliable Motormen then saw them slump to 176 all out - despite the efforts of Rashid (40) and Chaudry (37).
