Ellen is confident the early dew will burn off and this mornings Circuit Training/Boot Camp will again take place on the Recreation Field at 9:00

​

A youthful Winsford side visited Cannington Cricket club, who were sitting just above them in League 2.

​

Cannington may have been regretting their decision to field first as Winsford  amassed  249 runs in their 40 overs, the highlight being a very impressive stand of 170 between father and son James (89) and Edward (72*) How.

​

With some tight bowling, the wickets were spread around amongst Winsford's bowlers, , but best figures belonged to the returning Aaron Loosemore who finished with 3/22.  Despite a last wicket stand of 50, the hosts never looked like reaching the required total, and were all out for 191 in 36 overs, giving Winsford victory by 58 runs.
