Barnes skipper James Drake-Brockman lead from the front with an undefeated 70 from 55 balls to complete a six-wicket victory away at Ickenham.

Fraser Stewart (53) and Ed Craig (40) set the early pace after the home side posted 257, thanks to a rapid-fire 107 from John Alderson. Rich Craig bowled with great control and penetration to claim 4-74 and restrict Ickenham to a manageable total.

Drake-Brockman, who is on a sparkling run of form, was supported by Guy Rowley (43 not out) and the pair saw Barnes home with two overs to spare.

“This was a satisfying win in a frustrating season,” said Drake-Brockman. “We have a mathematical chance of promotion and will be looking to maintain this form till the end of the season and hope other teams slip up.”
