Date: Sunday 7th June

After getting out Saturday without any Rain, Sunday emerged with grey skies and wild wind.

Kipping off the double header at home, the Ladies fixture against Leigh CC began with the coin falling their way and Elton having a bat.
Early trouble with the bat from the opening pair was followed up with a fightback in the 2nd led by Hannah Kent as she scored 14 off 17 and hit 3 boundaries.
Leigh CC's bowlers were finding regular wickets and put the pressure on the 3rd partnership for Elton.
The Strongest batting Pair for Elton came in to CLose out the innings as Rachael White and Skipper Caitlyn Hunter combined for 18 off of their 4 overs and bringing the total score to 65/8.

Out into the field and Elton started strong, restricting the opening partnership to just 4 runs.
Continuing on with their strong start against the first pair, Elton showed considerable resistance to the 2nd also, holding them to only 7.
Two wickets to Caitlyn and a single to Siobhan Mulrooney were the highlights of the opening two partnerships as the Ladies held strong.
Leigh came together in their two final partnerships, only conceding a single wicket in each as they built their score to 97/6 after their allotted 16 overs.
Result: Leigh CC Won by 42 Runs

For the 2nd game of the day at Leigh Lane, it was time for the 3s to continue their Cup Campaign
Greenfield CC called correctly (Foreshadowing at its finest) and opted to have a bowl with ideal conditions for the new ball looming overhead.
Enter Sam Smith and Muneeb Tahir to kick off proceedings and Sam went Bang early.
Putting Greenfield on the back foot early, Sam was here for a good time but not a long time. Facing just 18 balls in which he hit 5x4's and made his way to 30 it came to an end with a mix up between himself and his opening partner in which Sam was run out.
Following another wicket shortly after Muneeb continued with his brother Ammar as he brought up 43 off of 54 balls (5x4's) before being bowled in the 18th over.
Looking to get in on the action, Dave Sewell stepped up to the plate and batted with Ammar to produce a 52 partnership.
Dave and Ammar struck strong through the field and embraced familiarity as they relived many opening partnerships shared throughout the 2025 season, Ammar Reaching his first Senior 50 for the season as Dave composed 24 off 30 with 3x4's at 141/4.
Losing another quick wicket as the weather turned and produced troubling batting conditions, Al Stephens got stuck in to work through the rain but was caught in front and adjudged LBW.
With the Conditions turning unfavourable, The Umpires called for the covers at the close of the 36th over and play stopped.
Calling the Innings at 36 overs due to time lost, Elton's batting score became 176/6 as the game froze and the rain got settled in for the rest of the day.
Being a cup Match and needing a winner the next option became a bowl out. The conditions were assessed and even then it still proved to be too dangerous even for that.
Resorting to a coin toss to produce a winner, Skipper Mark Burns tossed it high, Greenfield CC called "Heads" and Elton's Cup competition for the 2026 season came to an end.
A disappointing way for the Cup to end for the 3s, but the weather proved too great to beat after a strong batting performance.
Result: Greenfield CC Win

Over at Woodbank CC, the 4's had organised a friendly in place of no league fixture.
Deciding to go with the "Tails Never Fails" approach at the advice of a teammate, James Richardson called such at the toss of the coin, It was Heads.
With a few late changes to the side, Elton headed out and Ibrahim Hashmi got the party started early as a catch was skied to Ben Richardson.
It didn't take long for Ibrahim to strike again, just 2 balls later he found the Stumps and Bowled the no.3.
Looking to get in on the action, James Forrest found his mark as one of his deliveries hit found Ather Uthman at backward square leg.
Caitlyn continued her promising opening spell as she also picked up a wicket, Skied to Mid Wicket and Ben Richardson proving a safe pair of hands once again.
James had the swinging ball worked out and beat the block as he swung a ball from off stump to leg as he picked up his 2nd wicket.
Hassan Furmod came to wickets column as he found the stumps in the 17th over and then with the no.4 digging in, cut him short of his 50 with a caught and bowled in the 25th.
Ben Richardson got his turn with the ball and after a few overs of tap from the no.8 batter, made his mark as the no.9 skied a ball and sent WK Tom Frost running backwards to provide safe hands.
Closing out the Innings was Kai Ryan as he picked up 2 Wickets with a catch to Skipper James Richardson in the 30th and then a well bowled ball collecting the leg stump in the 34th bringing the innings to a close at 138 All Out.
Like the 3's down the road, the 4s felt the wrath of Mother Nature.
With Frosty and Ben Richardson waiting in their gear for the rain to ease, it just never happened.
A Consultation between Captain's and Umpires brought the fixture to an end, as the rain persisted.
Result: Match Abandoned

Thats the write up for the Weekends fixtures, Beginning tonight at The Heys, Our Elton Rifles 2nd Team continue their T20 Campaign against the Prestwich Patriots from 6:00pm!
