Rawtenstall's Keith Roscoe took 5-34 in his sides 62 run win over Accrington at Bacup Road to move to within 15 wickets of joining an exclusive band of players to have taken 1,000 Lancashire League wickets. The home side made 211-9 with professional Andrew Payne top scoring with 64, including nine fours and one six before falling to a superb one handed catch at point by his opposite number Tama Canning. Daniel Barlow (29), Richard Wood (25) and Chris Cook-Martin (22) also made useful contributions against an Accrington side that had to rely an all amateur attack for all but five overs with professional Canning suffering from a stomach ailment. Graeme Sneddon took a career best 3-21 before having to leave the attack due to the age limitation rule but Zahir Afzal (2-63) and Damian Clarke, who almost doubled his victims for the season in taking 4-57, had the home side at 195-9 in the 44th over but the visitors were unable to claim the final wicket. Adam Wilson soon departed after having hit four and when Canning followed for 7, both men falling to Rizwan Shafiq, the home side sensed victory. Sneddon made 15 but when he became Roscoe's first victim, Richard Burrows soon followed lbw without playing a stroke at Peter Seal and skipper Matt Wilson holed out for just 1 to leave Accrington on 58-5. Afzal joined opener Mohsin Ahmed to put on 78 before falling to Roscoe for 44 with the score on 136 and the tail folded to Payne and Roscoe. Mohsin was last man out after hitting a fine 68 which included eleven boundaries, the first of which was off the first ball of the innings.
