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.

Denton 112-5, Hyde 108-3
The Under Seventeens had another win at home, this time against Hyde. The toss was won by Hyde who decided to have a bat and they made steady progress to reach 108 after the 20 overs. Two catches by Ali Ismail and 2 wickets for Adam Hilton, 1 wicket for Worm being the highlights. We started off well with Jarrod and Worm opening and were on 47 before the first wicket fell. Jarrod top scored with 32 before being bowled by Ebbrell. Sam Hood made an excellent 22 and steadied the ship after the previous 3 batsmen were out for low scores. He was joined by Mitchell Stafford who hit an impressive 25 including 3 fours and a 6. Game was won in the 18th over with Mitch hitting all 18 runs in the over.

Denton West 115 all out, Denton 116-4
We lost the toss again and feared the worst when Denton West skipper decided to bat. However it was to be the only blip on a fantastic day for the club. We bowled West out for 115 with 5 wickets for Neilly, 4 for Omar and one for Ste. The boys gave Denton old boy Jamie Garde a special welcome and a send off when he was caught by Tom Stenson off Neilly for a second ball duck. Special mention to Andrew Neill on reaching 50 five wicket hauls in the Lancashire County League, a fantastic achievement. With the target set at 115 a new opening partnership of Andy Leech and Omar set about knocking the runs off. Progress was steady, we lost the first wicket on 29 when Omar was bowled by OB, next to fall was Chris closely followed by Gripper. Martin Parker and Andy then put the runs on before Andy was bowled by Kirwin on a very respectable 37. Janak came to the crease and after a scare when Martin was dropped they went on to win the game for Denton with the loss of just four wickets. Martin finishing on 40 not out.
Well done on the first victory of the season.

Denton 75-9, Flowery Field 76-4
Play didn’t look likely as it had been raining since the early hours of Saturday morning. However even the ground didn’t want us to get a couple of points as the rain drained away leaving the outfield fit for a 20 over game following tea. We lost the toss again and Flowery Field captain Damien Eyre put us in. We struggled against the excellent bowling of Mr Oddy and only managed to reach 75 in the overs with top scorer being Janak on 20. Omar and Neilly managed to pick up 2 wickets each but Flowery comfortably reached the target with overs to spare.

Greenfield 86-6, Denton 87-2
After a mixed start to the season it was nice to progress to the next round of the cup where we will meet either Irlam or Woodhouses.
Early afternoon looked like the game was in doubt with the wonderful British weather but luckily it cleared and it was game on. Greenfield murdered us first game of the season and the blue noses who missed that game were well up for it.
We couldn’t have got off to a better start with Jarrod taking the first wicket in the second over. Great bowling from all the bowlers restricted Greenfield to 86 for 6 after the 20 overs.
The lads were confident they could do this, but not too confident after last weeks disaster. The innings couldn’t have got off to a worse start with Jarrod being bowled in the first over but Adam joined Worm and the runs started to come. We lost Worm with the score on 24. Jordan and Adam then knocked off the remaining runs with Adam finishing on 24 and Jordan on 38, great batting performances from both of them.
We face Hyde next week in the league at home.

Denton 176 all out, Dukinfield 179-1
After being put in to bat and achieving 176 in the 50 overs, things were looking quite good. We had managed to bat the overs for the first time and made a reasonable score. Martin Leech continuing his great start to the season with a score of 40, Janak hitting form with a well made 30 and Jonny Mac coming in and hitting a very nice 26.
Dukinfield come out and attacked straight away, they lost a wicket early on but then knocked the score off without further loss. Andy Neill’s bowling figures were amazing again but we struggled from the other end. In all we dropped 6 catches and you can’t get away with that at this level.
We need a much better bowling and fielding performance if we are to get anything from Roe Green on Saturday and cup game against Irlam on Sunday.
