Killen (4-52) removed skipper Nick Marsh (5), Billy Rawstron (0), Paul Barratt (1) and Martin Whittle (12) with Accrington professional Sherwin Campbell top scoring with 35. Rain wiped 10 overs off Accrington's innings but 141 still proved a bridge too far.

The match was to be Marsh's last match as skipper with the opener resigning at the end of the match.
