Andy Batterley, formerly of Golborne led the spree with a 94 ball, 90 minute century while Dove added a quickfire 84. Batterley was finally out for 126 and there were more quick runs from Steve Bailey, ex- Atherton, who hit three sixes in his unbeaten 35 and Gareth Cross, the former Clifton wicketkeeper, who added 16 in nine balls.

Lytham's reply was up with the run rate at 84-2 but former Tonge pro Iqbal Sikander picked up three wickets for five runs and Davis took 3-10 to dismiss Lytham for 103.
