A low scoring local derby at Thorneyholme Road went the way of Church after Accrington had their innings terminated on 60-9 chasing the visitors 83 all out. Jacob Clarke took 4-29, Jimmy Hayhurst 2-12, including his 400th Lancashire League wicket, and professional Ockert Erasmus 2-24 in a 40 overs a-side match that began at 2.00pm. After Hayhurst had picked up the early wickets of sub professional Saeed Anwar (2) and stand-in skipper Levi Wolfenden (0), Josh Scully anchored the innings with a patient 23 from 64 balls which included two boundaries. Francis Kinsella provided some late fireworks hitting three sixes and two fours in making 34 from 35 balls. Anwar bowled through the innings taking 6-27 from 15 overs when Accrington's innings was terminated in the 31st over. Keiren Grimshaw passed 500 runs for the season during his innings of 20 and recalled veteran Matt Wilson hit two fours and a six in making 17 but no other batsman got close to double figures. Wolfenden also took 3-13 for the visitors.
