Paul Hird (2-33) and Fraser Duggan (2-85) were the most successful bowlers.
Hird continued his good work withe bat, hitting 54, and Matthew Grubb top-scored with 58, but Feckenham were all out for 213 after 49 overs.
Feckenham Thirds’ scheduled opponents Enville conceded and the Thirds will hope to get some game time on Saturday in Division Eight North away to Five Ways Old Edwardians 3rds.
