1ST TEAM REPORT

Penwortham 1st XI - 248-8
Fylde 1st XI - 208-7 (P.Hague 49*, D.Smith 42*)
FYLDE LOST BY 40 RUNS

FULL SCORECARD HERE

The first team lost successive games for the first time this season after being outplayed at Penwortham.

After electing to bowl, Fylde applied early pressure through Paul Hague and Martin Finch, with Finch making an early breakthrough with the wicket of Marshall. The second wicket stand was more productive for Penwortham as wayward deliveries were punished before Lloyd Jones made broke the partnership just after drinks. The rate slowed for a time before Whiteman came to the crease to give the innings late momentum with some clean hitting to help Penwortham to a competitive 248.

The Fylde reply began slowly as Penwortham bowled very tightly in an opening 10 overs which yielded just 30 runs. The pressure of the climbing rate eventually told as both openers perished in quick succession, Moore for 14 and Willis for 19. Penwortham then introduced spin to the attack and whilst batsmen got in, nobody in the top order could go on to make a telling contribution and the game slipped away from Fylde fairly quickly. A late partnership between Smith and Hague allowed 2 batting bonus points to be collected, but 4 points was a disappointing return from a match which could have been winnable had things gone differently at various stages.

The second team's improved form continued as they comfortably beat South Shore at Moorland Road. Joe Mcmillan proved the match winner, firstly with an unbeaten 49 to hold together the Fylde innings to a respectable 164 off the 45 overs.

He then decimated the South Shore top order with figures of 5-42 as Fylde bundled the opposition out for just 108 inside 32 overs.

Harris Park were never in the game in reply and were eventually all out for 87, Adam Lester the pick of the Fylde bowlers with 3-14.
