In an enthralling and high scoring cricket match under the baking sun, Winsford lost a close contest with Moorbath.

​

Moorbath won the toss and elected to bat on a spicey pitch, amassing 258/7 . Henry Dunn had the best figures of 2/45 in his nine overs.

​

Despite losing two early wickets, Winsford did their best to catch up to the required rate, but ended up 27 runs light, reaching 231 - their highest score of the season. Top scorer was Ryan Dean with a well struck 59, including 5 fours and 4 sixes.

​

​------------------------------------

​​Beccy and Claire would like to say a huge thank you to all who took part in Winsford's Open Gardens on Saturday! All the help was fantastic, whether it was by opening your garden, baking cakes, donating plants, giving your time, or coming along. Despite the liquid sunshine on Saturday, we raised a magnificent amount of just over £1,730 for St. Margaret's Hospice. You are all amazing - thank you!

  • Bleed control dispenser has been delivered and will be kept next to the defibrillator

  • Broken bench on car park to be repaired

  • The highway maintenance pilot scheme (too expensive and no volunteer insurance)

  • George Joyce tenancy (passed to Stephen Harding)

  • Retrospective planning for work on 1, Townsend Cottages - supported.
