In a rain-reduced encounter, Gwersyllt were asked to bat and chalked up a very decent 204-6 off their 35 allotted overs.

Iroshan De Silva hit 85 and took three wickets

De Silva hit 11 fours and a six in his 90-ball knock, while Alfie Lythgoe added a very impressive 54, sharing in a stand of 118 for the fourth wicket with his skipper.

Lee Davies scooped 2-19 and Rhys Stout 2-37 for the Deesiders.

Neil Pearson claimed three wickets for Gwersyllt
