Ashley vs Ashton on Mersey

Date:  Saturday 11th July

Venue: The Beets, Ashton

Toss won by: Ashley

Batted First: Ashton

 

Ashley took a wicket with the second ball of the innings when Gyves played on, but that was as good as it got. The departing Frith and Roscow added 83 in the next 25 overs. Shakespeare, fresh from a 3-day game for his university side, returned for his second spell and dismissed Roscow well caught by Ranshi, making his senior debut. He then removed Frith before Glover scored a quick 40. Bradshaw joined the attack after Woods pulled a hamstring and he was successful immediately, with a spell of 3 for 0 off 6 balls. Timms and the 3rd Roscow added 33 in the last 5 overs.

 

This appeared to be a good comeback for Ashley as the home side were 80 for 1 at the halfway stage but they never got a chance to chase the score down, the Roscows AT and C extracting seam and bounce from the wicket to reduce Ashley to 36 for 6. Shakespeare the only batsman to offer any sort of resistance, he remained undefeated and added 20 with Woods for the last wicket.

 

We slipped back to 7th in the table whilst Ashton moved 4 points clear at the top of the table and are very keen to stake a claim for a place in the County League for 2010. Good luck to them. Ashley host Davenham (11th) next week who picked up a morale boosting draw at home to Hale Barns 8th), whom Ashley visit in two weeks, with Winnington Park (12th) and Mere (5th) to follow the next month promises to be crucial to the teams final position.
