Nelson completed the double over Accrington in emphatic fashion taking maximum points in an 8 wicket win. Skipper Neil Thompson took 6-23 and Sam Halstead 3-28 to dismiss Accrington for 77. Opener Keiren Grimshaw made a top score of 24 but when he was out in the tenth over with the score on 35 wickets started to tumble. Jacob Clarke made 10 and skipper/professional Ockert Erasmus an unbeaten 17 but Accrington slipped from 50-2 to 77 all out with the last 4 wickets falling for the addition of just 2 runs. Jimmy Hayhurst (2-21) sent back Lewis Bradley (1) at 1 and David Crotty (4) at 16 but professional Ryan Bailey (37 not out with two fours and a six) and Harrison Phelan (23 not out) took Nelson to victory with 32 overs to spare.
