SHROPSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET LEAGUE

DIVISION TWO

Chirk 1st XI (5) 129-10 Wroxeter and Uppington 1st XI (20) 130-4

Chirk failed to put enough runs on the board to give themselves a chance of victory at Holyhead Road.

Put into bat, the Welsh side were bowled out for just 129 off 44.1 overs, opener Oliver Gough doing best with 35, while James Carter made 29, Dinesh Perera 3-19 off 14 and Saliya Kumara 3-35 for the visitors.

Wroxeter and Uppington reached a winning 130-4 in 30 overs, Sameera Fernando 50, Liam Walker 2-29 and Mark Shaw 2-47 for the hosts.

DIVISION EIGHT

Pontesbury 2nd XI (4) 155-8 Chirk 2nd XI (24) 327-3 dec

Barry Wilding and skipper Dale Randall both made centuries as Chirk seconds extended their lead at the Division Eight peak to 79 points with a thrashing of second-place Pontesbury.

Wilding made a maiden ton and career best 118, while Randall posted 115, the pair putting on 243 for the second wicket as the visitors amassed 327-3 declared off 40 overs.

Opener Wilding struck 20 fours in his 112-ball effort, while Randall chalked up 18 boundaries in his 104-delivery knock.
Daniel Graham kept the runs flowing with an unbeaten 56.

Pontesbury seconds were then limited to 155-8, Randall completing a truly memorable day with 5-24.

The 100 runs and five-wickets combination in the same game is North Wales cricket’s dream double and it remains quite a rare occurrence, so well done Dale.
