Disastrous day for Chirk’s cricketers

SHROPSHIRE CRICKET LEAGUE REPORTS – JUNE 28

DIVISION ONE

Chirk 1st XI (3) 76-10 Worfield 2nd XI (20) 252-7

It was a disastrous day for Chirk as both first and second teams were blitzed out for low scores in heavy defeats.

The firsts took on Worfield seconds at Holyhead Road, and the home team were made to regret putting the visitors into bat.

Worfield amassed 252-7 off 45 overs, Oli Wood 73 not out, while Billy Swarbrick took 2-49 and Hidayat Haroonkhail 2-50 for the hosts.

Chirk were then blown away for just 76, Shaun Walker best with 34, while Tom Parker collected 5-25 for the resounding away winners.

DIVISION SEVEN

Condover 2nd XI (20) 218-8 Chirk 2nd XI (4) 54-10

Youngster Alfie Shaw’s four-wicket haul was one of the very few highlights on the day for Chirk.

Hosts Condover won the toss and chose to bat, chalking up 218-8 off 40 overs, thanks mainly to a glut of runs down the card.

Shaw took 4-55 off eight and Connor Dyke 2-54.

Chirk were then skittled out for a paltry 54, Graeme Hughes 5-12 for the home team.
