🏏 1st XI

Old Sharlston 230-9 beat Calder Grove 156 all out by 74 runs

A much-needed return to winning ways for the 1st XI with a strong all-round performance at Old Sharlston.

After electing to bat, Brayden Pickard (36) and Richard Scott (26) provided a patient opening platform with a 72-run partnership. Ramith Rajan then injected some momentum with 34 from just 29 balls, while Ryan Kelsall made 26 and Liam Keating added 27.

At 181-8 there was still work to do, but Ajit Sukumaran (22) and Dave Taylor (14)** helped push the total to an imposing 230-9 from 46 overs.

Calder Grove’s chase was then kept under control. Ramith Rajan took three wickets, before Berlin Bernadin struck three times in just four overs. Ryan Kelsall and Brendan Norton also picked up wickets, while Dave Taylor contributed to two dismissals in the field.

Calder Grove were dismissed for 156, sealing a comprehensive 74-run victory and a maximum 16 league points.

🏏 OLD SHARLSTON CC | SATURDAY ROUND-UP

A mixed Saturday for Old Sharlston, with a difficult afternoon for the 1st XI at South Kirkby but a convincing victory for the 2nd XI back at Old Sharlston.

🔵 1ST XI | SOUTH KIRKBY 95-5 beat OLD SHARLSTON 91 by 5 wickets

A day to forget with the bat for the 1st XI.

After reaching 25 without loss, Sharlston collapsed to 39-6 and never really recovered. Rudolph Keyser top scored with 14, with Danny Bullock and Richard Scott both making 12, as the innings ended on 91 all out from 30.3 overs.

There was some fight with the ball. Dale McMullan led the response with an excellent 4-32, including three of South Kirkby’s top four, while Jon Railton picked up 1-29.

But 91 was never likely to be enough and South Kirkby completed the chase at 95-5 from 18.4 overs.

⭐ OSCC Performers
🎯 Dale McMullan 4-32
🏏 Rudolph Keyser 14
🎯 Jon Railton 1-29

Then the bowlers went to work.

🔥 Jake Parkinson ripped through the Calder Grove top order, finishing with 4-14 from seven overs. Ben Wilkinson and Corey Dooler took two wickets each as the visitors were dismissed for 102 in just 26 overs.
