BIG-HITTING Steve Dublin smashed his way to a rapid half-century to thwart the Prestwich dream of a trip to Old Trafford. Last year, the Heys side made it through to the quarter-final of the prestigious Lancashire Cup, only to be knocked out by eventual finalists Darwen.

Last Sunday, they faced their own league champions Denton St Lawrence for whom Dublin proved the difference.

The Second Team travelled to Flowery Field in Hyde on Saturday as they looked to consolidate their place at the top of the league table.

Preparations did not go swimmingly, with Dulux breaking a finger during the warm up, Garstang testing the plumbing to it's max with worryingly regular visits to the bathroom, and Luke not ringing his Mum to tell her he had found the ground safely!!!

Rain was once again the winner on Saturday when the First and Second teams were both involved in lengthy rain affected draws which meant two points each. On Sunday the First XI were beaten in the LCB Knockout Cup by fellow LCL side Denton Saint Lawrence whilst the Third XI went down by 107 runs away to Clifton.

The First and Second teams both won batting second on Saturday. The Firsts chased down 140 and the Seconds reeled in 187 as Woodbank were comfortably beaten in both encounters.
