Maiden tons in 4s double chase

Superb maiden Prestwich senior tons from James Mercer and Sam Regan the undoubted highlight of the weekend as Prestwich 4XI enjoyed a 32 run win over Swinton Moorside to stay in the hunt near the top of their division.

Prestwich 4XI 223-1 (Mercer 101*, Regan 101*); Swinton Moorside 3XI 191ao (Arif 5-49, Hatchett 3-21)

• Elsewhere this weekend Prestwich 1XI’s Premier Division fate is no longer in their own hands following an agonising 1 wicket loss to now relegated Heyside.

Prestwich 1XI 235-7 (Khurana [sub-pro] 117, Alex Bradley 51); Heyside 236-9 (Maddock 6-68)

In order to retain our Premier Division status, we now need to beat Flowery Field next Saturday and hope relegated Denton St Lawrence can win at home to Egerton.

• Prestwich 3XI lost by 23 runs at Uppermill but remain in 2nd place in the Sunday Premier Division.
