Andy Riley picked up his third catch of the season to help Rawtenstall end a run of six successive defeats with a 44 run win over Accrington at Bacup Road. The home side recovered from a disastrous start to post 162-8 Accrington professional Ockert Erasmus made short work of Matt (2) and Sam (0) Kershaw and skipper Vinny Hanson (1) but professional Brett Pelser was made of sterner stuff, hitting his fourth half century of the season, striking six fours and two sixes in an innings of 58 that took him past 600 runs for the season. Dean Barlow then took up the mantle to hit a career best unbeaten 66 from 117 balls with four fours and a six. Riley chipped in with 12 before falling to Erasmus who finished with 6-60 from his 17 over spell. Pelser sent back Simon Hanson (2) at 2 and Keith Roscoe had skipper Stuart Crabtree (15) taken by Riley at 40. Sam Excell and Erasmus (29 from 65 balls) dug in to take the score to 89. Excell top scored with a career best 53 from 97 balls with seven fours and a six against his former club but the rest of the batting disintegrated against Roscoe (3-25) and Imran Abid (3-34), collapsing from 89-2 to 118 all out. Bryn Hargreaves (8) and Matt Wilson (2) became the 228th and 229th victims of the remarkable Roscoe-Hanson combination.
