Weakened side struggle against Sowerby Bridge in the local derby

Sowerby made the short trip to Sowerby Bridge with a weakened side due to a few absentees, and despite their best efforts ended 93 runs short on a nice batting track at Walton Street. Sowereby Bridge winning the toss and batting first made 253-3 with Martin Mellor 64 NO and Lewis Mattock hitting 61, both hitting 10 fours. Noman Hussain and Reece Kendall also amongst the runs with 37 and 36 respectively. Mohammed Younas was the only St Peters bowler to get to grips with the pitch with 3 for 49 from his 10 overs. Craig Patrick and Sultan Mahmood getting the other two between them.
St Peters reply not getting off to the best start with Mark Bennett run out for 11 and Younas stumped on 20. Things went from bad to worse when captain Gavin Clarke tore his calf muscle, however he struggled on but was bowled by young off spinner Matthew Harrison. Craig Patrick went for 25 and Paul Bellinger for 31 then wickets fell at regular quick intervals leaving Sowerby 160 all out. Matthew Harrison was the pick of the Bridge bowlers with 5-42 from 10 overs and Lewis Mattock claiming 3-9 from his 2 overs. Noman Hussain with the other wicket leaving Sowerby with only 3 points to Sowerby Bridge's 12, meaning they drop to fourth behind Warley, Triangle and Blackley.
Sowerby look forward to the trip to Old Guy Road to face lower division Queensbury tomorrow in the Crossley Shield first round.
