Abergele (2) 143-10 Halkyn (13) 147-5

A home total of 143 was never going to be sufficient to keep second-place Halkyn at bay.

The visitors elected to bat and amassed a mammoth 296-5 off 45 overs, Jack Williams (64 no) and skipper Louis Parry (56 no) with a big undefeated sixth-wicket partnership.

William Norman added 59 and Rocco Franco 42 higher up the order, while Sajad Mukhtarzai took 3-50 for the hosts.

Jack Williams completed a great all-round show with 3-9 off six overs, while Fabio Franco picked up 2-26 as the Deesiders were then rolled over for just 75.
