Andrew Swarbrick starred for Chirk with bat and ball

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET LEAGUE

DIVISION ONE

Chirk 1st XI (20) 287-8 Worfield 2nd XI (3) 122-10

All-rounder Andrew Swarbrick produced his best display of the season to guide Chirk towards a crushing victory over visitors Worfield seconds.

Swarbrick struck a rapid unbeaten half century and then took six wickets in a truly vintage performance at Holyhead Road.

The visitors may have regretted their decision to put Chirk into bat as the hosts rattled up a mammoth 287-6 off 45 overs.

Swarbrick, batting at seven, top-scored with 72 not out off just 41 balls, cracking six sixes and five fours.

Nick Flack posted 58, Mark Shaw 44 and skipper James Carter 30.

Flack and Shaw put on 87 for the fifth wicket.

Worfield were bowled out for just 122 in 29 overs.

Swarbrick scooped 6-33 off nine overs, while Shaw bagged 2-18.

Fifth-place Chirk round off their season with a visit to Bomere Heath 1st XI on Saturday.
