Denton 83 all out, DSL 176 all out
After last weeks fantastic win at Denton West we were looking forward to another derby day this time against DSL. We lost two players on the Saturday morning through injury and illness so drafted were youngsters Ryan Halpin and Sam Neill from the second team. Thanks to them both for their efforts, both were superb in the field. We lost the toss (again) and DSL elected to bat. They got off to a flier and had reached 81 before losing the first wicket. Neilly then decided it was time to bowl and that was when the runs dried up for DSL. We bowled DSL out for 176 with Scott Allen top scoring with 63. 5 wickets each for Neilly and Ste with Neilly returning fantastic figures again of 16 overs, 10 maidens, 5 wickets for 15 runs. Can’t understand why he never features in the league side, there can’t be many better than him. Unfortunately our batting was again awful and we were bowled out for 83. Much better performance needed next Saturday for a bottom of the table clash with Thornham.
