EXCELLENT Alex Brunt blitzed 130 runs to help Avoncroft advanced towards an emphatic five wicket win over Himley thirds in Worcester County League Division Three.
Brunt belted a total of 14 fours on his way to a match-winning score as Avoncroft chased down Himley's total of 185 all out.
Paul Athey had earlier proved pick of Avoncroft's bowling attack by taking four for 26 while Dan Elliott obtained figures of three for 38.
Brunt then took charge as Avoncroft breezed to a winning 186 for five from just 24.4 overs.
Avoncroft climb to fifth place as a result of this success and will look to move higher when they travel to Hereford side Bartestree and Lugwardine this Saturday.
