HALES Herd lost to Beccles Panthers by six wickets in the Junior Carter Cup on Sunday.

Beccles invited Hales to bat and removed danger man Chris Andersen early on. Jonno Wright with a well-crafted 22, Montagu 26 and Tom Watts 22 saw Hales posted a modest 104.

Even four quick wickets didn't prevent a comfortable win to give Beccles a chance of making the last eight.

White Horse MoM: Tom Watts.
