Ramsbottom secured second place and the Holland Cup with a 50 run win at Accrington. Sub professional Yogesh Golwalkar hit an impressive 51 off 67 balls with seven boundaries in Ramsbottom's 159 all out. Mark Dentith made 27 and Simon Read 20 as the visitors set a not too daunting total. Mick Horsfield took 4-22 and a superb one handed catch to dismiss Read, and Damian Clarke took 3-44. Accrington lost Mohsin Ahmed (4) and Zahir Afzal (17) but at 55-2, a third win of the season looked possible. Golwalker then removed Tama Canning (18), Stuart Crabtree (10) and Matt Wilson (9) and later Graeme Sneddon (0), but it was Read who rounded off a fine all round season by taking 4-5 in just 5.1 overs to dismiss Accrington for 109. Sagawat Hussain top scored with 27 for the home side who have now equalled the record of 24 defeats in a season set by Colne (1991) and Rishton (2003). |
