MARK Ramsdale confirmed himself as the batsman on form in the Bolton Association as he rapped out another half century.

His 54 against Darcy Lever was his third in successive innings and followed up his century against Adlington last week.

With 58 from Steve Knowles, Standish were able to set a target of 165-8 but Darcy Lever made a decent attempt at the runs, ending the day on 150-9.

Mike Scothern was 34 and John Norris 31 but the Darcy batsmen had no answer to Standish pro Andy Cumberbatch.

He picked up 6-59 which took his wickets haul to 30 in six matches.
