Cheshire Women's Cricket League Results

Here are the final results for the Cheshire Women's Cricket League from September 13th and 20th.

Summer Series Eastern Division – August 23:

Stockport Georgians v Leigh – Cancelled due to rain and never re-arranged, 8pts each

September 13:

Didsbury 59 (30; Leesa Mellon 22, Emma Royle 2-3, Ellie Mason 2-5, Sophie Coates 2-14) (0pts)

Stockport Trinity 60-0 (14; Mason 41*, Jenny Dunn 13*) (25pts)

·         Trinity recorded a decisive victory in this final day winner takes all decider and are the Eastern Division winners for 2020. Didsbury were previously unbeaten, and the previous encounter between the two sides ended with only four runs separating the teams, so this was a very different affair. Emma Royle carried on what she has been doing all season – taking crucial early wickets and conceding very few runs, and Ellie Mason also struck early to have Didsbury under pressure from the very start. Mason then played the senior role in ensuring the run chase was completed swiftly and without alarm.

Ashton-on-Mersey 55-9 (30; Beth Caunce 12, Kasey Bentham 2-9, Millie Baldwin 2-9) (2pts)

Leigh 56-4 (22.5; Emma Capper 20*, Amelia Sammons 3-11) (25pts)

·         A feature of Leigh’s campaign this year has been the depth of their bowling attack, and not only did they keep Ashton down to an overall scoring rate of less than two per over, but none of the seven bowlers used conceded runs at more than 2.33 per over. Leigh completed their run chase relatively comfortably, although Amelia Sammons was able to record one last excellent set of bowling figures in what has been a fine first season in the league for her.

Summer Series Western Division – September 13:

Porthill Park (25pts) w/o Oxton (minus 10pts)

Nantwich 107-6 (30; Beth Hughes 35, Charlotte Neal 24, Ali Cutler 2-15, Tilly Buss 2-24) (6pts)

Chester Boughton Hall 110-4 (23.2; Kate Coppack 48*, Seren Smale 31, Kelsey Barker 2-24) (25pts)

·         Chester completed a strong end to the season here. On a day when both their first and second teams won, they triumphed in the first team match after getting home with all of 40 deliveries in hand, as Kate Coppack took 40 balls to score her 48 runs, while Nantwich just gained enough points to secure a second-place finish ahead of Upton.

Summer Series Development Division – September 13:

Chester Boughton Hall 2^nd XI 95-5 (20; Jenny Marvel 37*) (25pts)

Heaton Mersey & Cheadle 34 (13; Gemma Rose 2-3, Emma Inchley 2-3) (3pts)

·         Staging a double header of first and second team matches, Chester’s seconds won comfortably here to secure a second-place finish in the development division.

September 20:

Wistaston Village 73-7 (20; Toyin Higgins 13, Zoe Davies 13, Natalie Stevens 2-3, Jill Tildsley 2-15) (25pts)

Langley 56-9 (20; Abbey Lamidey 16, Anna Bourne 3-4, Phoebe Howle 2-9)

·         A series of early wickets for Anna Bourne checked Langley’s reply early on and ensured it would be Wistaston, rather than their opponents, who finished the season with two wins from four.
