Shropshire County Cricket League – Chirk suffer double loss

Chirk’s Andrew Swarbrick took the only opposition wicket to fall

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET LEAGUE REPORTS – SAT , MAY 13

Division One

Wroxeter and Uppington 1st XI (24) 59-1 Chirk 1st XI (0) 57-10

It was certainly a day to forget for Chirk as they came home pointless from their trip to Shrewsbury area side Wroxeter and Uppington.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, the North Wales side were bowled out for just 57 in 33.3 painstaking overs, Oliver Gough the sole double-figure contributor with 18.

The hosts eased to 59-1 in 18 overs to seal a 24-0 points victory.

Andrew Swarbrick, not on football duty as his team Ruabon Rovers played the night before, took the only wicket to fall.

Chirk will aim for better when they host Allscott Heath 1st XI this Saturday.

Division Eight

Chirk 2nd XI (5) 149-10 Guilsfield 2nd XI (21) 152-7

Chirk seconds were involved in a much closer contest than their first team, although they also ended up losers, albeit by just three runs.

Calling the coin correctly and opting to bat, Guilsfield seconds set 152-7 off 40 overs, Connor Phillips with 2-34 and Ed Hayhurst 2-37 for the hosts.

Chirk finished up 149 all out off 38.3, Phillips starring with 52, while extras amounted to 30.

This Saturday sees Chirk seconds visit Beacon thirds.
