Senior results - May 3rd

The 1st X1 played away at Oulton.  Caverswall batted first and an early run out for Greg Phillips wasn't the best of starts, things didn't get much better with the top 3 failing to score anywhere near there capabilities. Naz Ali provided some substance but only managed 18 before been bowled by R Spruce. K Crawford top scored with 19 but failed to convert into more. Chris Baranowski and Tom Caton made attempts to prolong the innings with a further 80 balls but the inevitable was in sight and Caverswall were bowled out for 102.

Not leaving the bowlers much to play with it was always going to be a struggle with an Oulton team feeling confident. Unfortunately Caverswall failed to pick up any wickets but just to mention the excellent bowling figures from Chris Baranowski 5 overs 0-3.

Oulton secured 20 points and Caverswall gained 2 points.

The 2nd X1 played at home to Sandyford, the first wicket for Caverswall came early with an excellent run out by Paul Jolley, after losing their first wicket Sandyford stood strong and with 80 more runs on the board, this was until John Cookson made a break through. Kieron Harrison managed 75 before his wicket was taken  by Aziz. Sandyfords middle order and tail didn't hold up well and with further run outs, Sandyford finished the overs on 154-8. 

Caverswall went out to bat and losing Elliot Wright early on was surely not a sign of things to come!!! John Cookson and Islam had other ideas and the runs started to tick over before Cookson was caught behind for 14. Islam continued his good form and reached 76 which put the team in a positive position. Akhtar and Champ steered the ship home for the remaining 58 runs.

Caverswall gained 20 points with Sandyford managing 5 points.
