Winsford's cricketers achieved a result of sorts as their match away at  Ashbrittle was abandoned due to persistent rain.  The home team posted a fairly daunting total of 263 in their 40 overs, Winsford's most successful bowler Beatrice How managed impressive figures of 3/11 in one and a half overs, while her brother Edward achieved 2/35. Harry Dunn and Andrew Blackmore both bowled their full complement of 9 overs at a very thrifty 3.7 runs per over, Harry taking 1/33 and Andrew 2/33.  At the break the heavens opened and Winsford were unable to bat.

​

Each team earned 22 points
