50 for Hugh McGarry in excellent innings

The 3XI continued a good run of form with a good win at home. Coming off the back of a strong outing last week away at Haslington, the team knew they would have to work hard in warm conditions after Bredbury won the toss and elected to bat.

Playing on the 1XI track was a fantastic experience for all. It was a great surface for batters and bowlers and it was the bowling unit of Leo Beesley and Toby Ward who were able to capitalise first. Some accurate bowling from Leo (0-14 off 5) was unfortunate to not get more reward, but it set up Toby at the other end who was able to attack and take 5 wickets for 9 off 7 overs. backed up by some good fielding, Bredbury were reduced to 36-7. An excellent start to the game.

Bredbury then began to counter attack and through an effective partnership from Rakesh Shivaram and Chris O'Reilly managed to lift the score significantly to 126 all out. Some excellent bowling from Bertie Richards 014 off 5, Zach Thompson at the death and debutant Ted 1-18 off 4 meant everyone had contributed to a great first half.

In reply the young lads played with maturity, saying true to their technique and playing the long game. Hugh batted through the entirety of the the innings and reached his second 50 in open age cricket with a fantastic shot over the bowler's head. He was well supported by another excellent knock from James Moran (28 off 31) and Zach Thompson (25 off 26).

All in all, a great day had and fantastic to see the blend of youth and experience performing well. Next week the 3XI travel to Mobberley.
