SHROPSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET LEAGUE REPORTS – AUGUST 19

DIVISION ONE

Chirk (3) 145-10 Newtown (20) 150-4

Disappointing day for Chirk as they slumped to a six-wicket defeat against their visitors from Powys.

Put into bat, the North Wales side were bowled out for a modest 145 off 43.5 overs.

No-one was able to build a major innings for the home team. Opener Oliver Gough made 31, Nick Flack 29 and Simon Rickett 20 not out.

Jonathon Davies scooped 3-34 for the away side.

In reply, Newtown reached a winning 150-4 in 41.4, Namibian J C Balt 53 not out and John Anthony 48 their best contributors.

Flack bowled well for Chirk, notching 2-22 off nine.

The result leaves Chirk 1st XI fifth in Division One with four rounds of matches remaining.

DIVISION EIGHT

Quayside 1st XI (20) 119-6 Chirk 2nd XI (4) 115-10

Put into bat, Chirk seconds’ total of 115 all out never looked enough to win them the game.

Quayside lost three very early wickets in reply, but managed to get home on 119-6 from 29.1 overs, George Collins bagging 3-35 for the losing team.
