CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE

Division One – May 29:

Oakmere 175-9 (40; Natalie Lyons 61, Sophie Connor 36, Lauren O’Reilly 2-17, Maeve Sparks 2-25, Beth Nicholson 2-26, Hannah Snape 2-33) (11pts)
Chester Boughton Hall 179-8 (38.2; Kate Coppack 88*, O’Reilly 31, Sarah Worsdale 2-23) (25pts)

• This season has already seen its share of league records fall, and there was another one here as Chester maintained their 100 per cent league record with the highest successful run chase in league history, led by Kate Coppack. 2014 champions Oakmere went down to their third successive defeat, and while they are not yet out of title contention, no side has won the first division in the last decade with as many as three defeats in a season.

Appleton 134-8 (40; Charlotte Cross 58, Charlotte Williams 3-26) (25pts)
Ashton-on-Mersey 55 (38.2; Jenny Clarke 3-7) (6pts)

• Charlotte Cross’s maiden half century was the highlight as Appleton got their league season back on track after losing their last two division one matches. Ashton are still to win this season.

Division Two – May 29:

Hawarden Park 111 (39; Ellie Pritchard 38, Jenny Broughall 24, Emma Royle 3-7, Olivia Smith 2-9) (6pts)
Stockport Trinity 112-4 (26; Carys White 27, Broughall 2-9) (25pts)

• Hawarden gave them a good test here, but there’s still no stopping Trinity who made it four wins out of four in the league

Wistaston Village 150-3 (40; Morganne Prince 52, Hannah Bratt 41, Alison Smith 22, Ellie Grisedale 2-27) (25pts)
Oxton 67 (32.3; Jess Pickavance 29, Smith 3-4, Emily Mackenzie 2-8, Kristina Lawson 2-15) (3pts)

• Wistaston prevailed by posting a solid total, backed up by some good bowling, and move into second place in division two

T20 DIVISIONAL COMPETITION

Western Division – May 27:

Wistaston Swans 43-9 (20; Annette Axon 2-4, Sammi Short 2-7, Kate Coppack 2-8)
Chester Boughton Hall Deemons 47-1 (13.2; Coppack 12*, Lauren O’Reilly 12*)

• Wistaston started their defence of the trophy with defeat, as Chester decisively gained revenge for their Knockout exit at the hands of the Crewe-based team two weeks earlier. With only one side from each division now progressing to the next stage, this was a huge win for Chester.

Eastern Division – May 23:

Stockport Trinity Fire 79-2 (20; Emma Royle 28ret)
Appleton Tigers 81-2 (17.1; Emma Barlow 25ret)

• A winning start in this division for Appleton, who won last year’s Eastern Division with a 100 per cent record
