Matchday 18 was rained off....

Some impressive bowling this weekend as Steven Oddy, Ghulum Abbas, Amal Dalugoda, Amila Weththasinghe and Ryan Senior all returned impressive figures. On Sunday, most games started but none finished as the wet weather wrecked the days play.

Syed Wasif took 7-61 as Cheetham Hill beat leaders Denton West by 31 runs. Denton St Lawrence also lost out as Glossop's Will Hargreaves collected 7-43 as his side won by 35 runs, bowling the second placed side out for 106.

Bhatiya Perera was the days top runscorer with 83 as Glossop won at Denton by 7 wickets. West continued their championship charge with an 82 run win at Stand while second place Lawrences suffered defeat by six wickets at home to Dukinfield.

A dramatic last ball win puts Denton St Lawrence in the Walkden Cup final as they edged out Prestwich by just two wickets. Woodhouses 220-8 wasn't enough to book their final place as a Scott Kirwin inspired Denton West took the tie by five wickets.

Woodbank's Simon Carr took 4-21 as the Bury side restricted leaders Denton West to 131-8. Chasing a revised target of 91, Ryan Senior's 40 and a 37 from Wayne Griffiths helped their side over the finishing line with 7 wickets to spare and in doing so, inflicted West's first nil-pointer of the season. 

Anil Rideegammanagedera blasted 160 before going on to take 5 for 50 as his Dukinfield side beat Cheetham Hill by 117 runs.

Professional Amila Weththasinghe took 7 for 19 as Stand beat Dukinfield by 6 wickets. Prestwich's run chase fell just 5 short at Cheetham Hill as Imran Mirza finished with figures of 7 for 53. Leaders Denton West's 141-4 was enough to get maximum points from Roe Green's visit as the Worsley side were bowled out for 108. 

Ryan Senior's 73 helped Woodbank to a 96 run win at Dukinfield. Elsewhere, it's as you were at the top of Division One with all the leading five teams picking up maximum points from their games.

A lot of games hit by the wet weather this weekend but a few clubs managed to sneak in reduced over matches. Leaders West took advantage of the abandonment between Woodbank and Prestwich as they stretched their lead at the top following a four point win at home to Glossop. Denton St Lawrence also moved up a place following their 8 wicket win over near neighbours Denton.
