Match drawn

Oliver Gough scored a joint career-best 75 as Chirk picked up 15 points from a winning draw at Forton.

Fellow opener Wynn Jones (24) put on 42 with Gough, who was involved in a stand of 92 for the third wicket alongside Flack.

In reply, Forton clung on at 162-9 for the draw, Luke Gardner the stand out bowler for the North Walians with 6-34 off 14, claiming the first six wickets to fall, while Liam Walker landed 2-39.

DIVISION SEVEN

Corvedale 1st XI (4) 82-10

Seven-player visitors Corvedale were put in and bowled out for 82 in 23 overs, Harry Lunt 2-11, George Collins 2-18 and Nigel Davies 2-19.
