Skipper Nick Flack shone with bat and ball as Chirk edged up to second in Division Two with a six-wicket win over Willey at Holyhead Road on Saturday.

Winning the toss and electing to field, the North Wales side limited their visitors to 120-9 off 40 overs.

Left-arm paceman Andrew Swarbrick picked up 3-13 off eight, while Flack claimed 3-24 from seven.

Long-serving Flack, with more than 10,000 club runs on his record, made 49 not out off 44 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes.

Opener Gareth Partridge also didn’t hang around, cracking 40 off 33 deliveries including eight boundaries.
