Church reached the 2nd round by beating Accrington by 40 runs at Thorneyholme Road. The visitors opened up with a 115 run stand between sub professional Usman Tariq, who hit 64 from 108 balls with seven fours, and Sam Holt whose 83 ball innings of 48 included three fours. Wickets tumbled to Keiren Grimshaw who took a club best 5-12 and Accrington professional Ockert Erasmus (2-18) with Church losing 10 wickets for 45 runs. Skipper Craig Fergusson was left high and dry on 13 not out as his team-mates came and went. Accrington lost wickets at regular intervals but it was the vital wicket of Erasmus that put Church firmly on top. The South African was caught at mid wicket off a ball that stopped with the score on 82. Simon Hanson (19), Ali Hasham (17), Stuart Crabtree (14), Erasmus (12), Jon Hayhurst (11) and skipper Graeme Sneddon (10) all made double figures for the home side. Wicketkeeper Sam Tucker claimed five victims and Kamran Basharat took 4-18 for Church.
