Not much action this weekend as the wet weather has again put paid to cricket matches across the country.

Wins for Cheetham Hill and Denton West while Denton St Lawrence's loss at home to Flowery Field sends the long-time league leaders down to third in Division One.

Bank Holiday Monday at a 'sunny' Moorside cricket ground saw boys become men in the cricket sense as the young guns from our league saw off the Saddleworth League to lift the trophy for only the second time since the league's inception back in 94' and following our only other previous success in 2002.

Imran Mirza's 6-29 earns Cheetham Hill a 4 run win over Prestwich and sends the Catherine Road side top of Division One following Denton St Lawrence's defeat at home to Glossop.

The following team has been selected to represent the under 18 league side to face the Saddleworth League on Monday 25th August at Moorside Cricket Club in the final.

Dave Letven's 5 for 29 helped restrict Thornham to 87ao before Denton West collected maximum points in a five wicket win. In the only other Division One game to be played today, Irlam enjoyed a 71 run win over bottom club Dukinfield. 

Ryan Senior's 114 helps Woodbank to a revised 53 run win over Dukinfield while the weather continues to interrupt games all around the league.

A complete wash-out today barring one Division Two game.

PRESTWICH’S Under 17’s showed their senior sides the way by winning the Greenhalgh Cup. The youngsters grabbed the glory at The Heys last Sunday, overcoming a more experienced Denton team with a superb all-round display.
