TOP bowler Helen Yorke was the difference as Castle Building Services and Little Lever Cricket Club A played out a splendid game of rounders.

Six players from Little Lever fell without scoring in the first innings, and though Vicky Duncan and Michelle Halsey rallied the remaining players scoring 25 each to bring the score to 75, Castle replied with a very steady 92 runs.

In the second innings, Castle once again produced some excellent bowling and fielding and reduced Little Lever to 23 runs. Needing just six runs to win the match, Castle lost three players for no score which spurred Little Lever on, and they eventually dismissed Castle for 35 runs, to clinch an exciting game, 127-98.
