BARNTON fell to their heaviest defeat of the campaign when Disley visited Broomsedge last Saturday.

The visitors made the most of a favourable track, and a depleted bowling attack, to rack up 243-7 before declaring.

Openers Josh Henry (101) and Jake Reynolds (84) put on 181 for the first wicket before Andy Leese (1-58) bowled the latter.

Captain Simon Hancock (3-26) and Adam Garrod, who took two wickets during his second spell, applied the brakes.

However Barnton’s batsmen, with the exception of James Hodgkinson (48no) too often made a bad decision as they slumped to 75 all out.

Jamie Henderson took 5-18 for the visitors.

Middlewich continue to prop up their rivals at the bottom of the table following a 63-run reverse at home to Lymm.

The Warrington outfit posted 215-8 after being put in, with Stephen Parry (3-43) and Kieran Boyle (2-47) the pick of the bowlers.

Their teammates reached 152 in reply, with James Cornford and Luke Blanchard (both 39) the highest scorers.

A fourth five-wicket haul of the campaign for in-form Adrian Burden (5-20) inspired Kingsley to extend a winning sequence to 10 matches in Division Two.

Hosts Stockport Trinity lost nine wickets for 37 runs after reaching 51-1, with Aussie Hayden Lanza (2-42) and captain Toby Mullins (2-4) playing supporting roles.

Kingsley stuttered to 89-6 in reply, Kieran Ollier (21) and Danny Mullins (16) steadying the innings after a wobbly start.

“Previous visits to Trinity haven’t always gone in our favour to it’s another tough test passed,” said the skipper afterwards.

They will reach the season’s halfway mark with an unblemished record if they overcome Chelford at the Croft on Saturday.

 

 

CJ van der Walt, Oakmere’s overseas signing, was their star turn during a four-wicket success at Wilmslow.

He returned figures of 6-16 from seven overs, including four maidens, as the Northwich outfit knocked over the home team for 113.

That included the wicket of leading scorer Ethan Harding (42).

A partnership for the sixth wicket worth 46 runs between James Norton (35no) and Pete Hutchinson (29) helped Oakmere to 114-6.

Winsford found a target set by Knutsford beyond them during a Division Four encounter at Knights Grange.

Chasing 229 to win, they fell 50 runs short after succumbing for 178.

Mike Dickenson (37), Sid Mothe (32), Mike Dean and Callum Simpson (both 30) all made starts.

Daniel Holtom (3-56) and Kev Fitzpatrick (2-49) were the pick of their bowlers, while Dean dismissed Muhammad Arslan (69), as the visitors totalled 228.

Rostherne conceded their scheduled meeting with Hartford in Division Five.
