Rain threatened play at Fromefield this week as Frome hosted bottom-of-the-league North Petherton.
After losing the toss, the showmen were put into bat, Lett (82) was the star of the innings and guided Frome towards a competitive score. Lett was supported by R Croker (17) and Watts (17) along with a quick-fire spell from Dredge (27no), leaving the showmen on 173 at the interval.
R Croker (5-22) had another successful week as he destroyed North Petherton’s top order batsmen.

Frome gain 19 points from the match and remain top of the league. The showmen travel away to league rivals Bridgwater next Saturday (22nd June, 12.30pm).
