NORTH WALES CRICKET LEAGUE DIVISION ONE

Buckley have avoided relegation from North Wales Cricket League Division One by the slimmest of margins, meaning Menai Bridge seconds go down.

Although Bucks lost 13-2 at home to Conwy on Saturday, the Flintshire club and Menai Bridge finished equal on 116 points.

However, Buckley had the highest number of average points per completed game – 5.78 compared to the Anglesey side’s 5.63.

Therefore Bridge seconds are relegated along with Llay Welfare and Marchwiel and Wrexham.
