GREAT Chishill dropped out of the promotion places in Senior League Division 3 following their second defeat by bottom club
Little Downham.
Chishill had restricted the hosts to180 in just over 40 overs, with 14-year-old Adam Wright the pick of the bowlers.
Guy Musson also impressed and he too played his part with some solid support with the ball.
In reply, Chishill got off to a faltering start and it was Wright who eventually hit their top score of 25 not out by forming a partnership alongside his father Gary.
This nevertheless proved all in vain as the visitors were dismissed for a paltry 148, coming off very much second best and casting nervous glances at the chasing pack behind them in what has turned out to be a very tight division.
