Former Calmore team-mates enjoy their personal duel

Former Calmore Sports team-mates Paul Draper and James Hibberd are having a personal duel to see which of the two all-rounders can score the most runs and capture the most wickets.

"There's nothing on it, except personal pride," says Hibberd, who lies a single run behind Draper in the batting stakes but one wicket ahead of his South Wilts rival.

Both players have done well this summer, with Draper scoring 416 runs and taking 20 wickets for his new club South Wilts, and Hibberd making 415 runs for Calmore, in addition to snapping up 21 wickets with his medium-pace.

But Draper has already scored two important successes over his old Calmore team-mate.

"We've beaten Calmore twice this season and I got scores of 88 and 42 without being out. I'm happy to dine out on that," chuckled Draper, who will have Hibberd's full support in nextFriday's SEC Cup final at the Rose Bowl.
