St Asaph’s Matty Ryan carried his bat for a superb century in Wales NC North’s match at Shifnal on Tuesday.

Ryan finished 104 not out as the North were bowled out for 188 in response to the RAF’s mighty effort of 287-7 off 50 overs.

Thomas Shorthouse (82) and Adam Sutcliffe (81) were the mainstays of the innings after the RAF were put into bat.

Bangor’s Jamie Grimshaw took 2-49 and Matt Russell of Colwyn Bay 2-56 for the Welsh side.
