Denton 176 all out, Dukinfield 179-1
After being put in to bat and achieving 176 in the 50 overs, things were looking quite good. We had managed to bat the overs for the first time and made a reasonable score. Martin Leech continuing his great start to the season with a score of 40, Janak hitting form with a well made 30 and Jonny Mac coming in and hitting a very nice 26.
Dukinfield come out and attacked straight away, they lost a wicket early on but then knocked the score off without further loss. Andy Neill’s bowling figures were amazing again but we struggled from the other end. In all we dropped 6 catches and you can’t get away with that at this level.
We need a much better bowling and fielding performance if we are to get anything from Roe Green on Saturday and cup game against Irlam on Sunday.
