Lowerhouse v Accrington
Lancashire League champions Lowerhouse beat joint Division 2 leaders Accrington by 165 runs at The Brooks Foundation Ground. Half centuries from professional Dan Salpietro (75), Toxy Hussain (68) and former Accrington all rounder Tom Walker (58) took Lowerhouse to an imposing 271-6. Skipper Ben Heap (8 to become the competition's highest amateur run scorer) fell to Kian Farnworth's third ball of the innings after hitting the other two for four. Henri Cottam (2) was trapped in front by skipper Jacob Clarke at 11. Walker and Salpietro then put on 82 before Walker was caught by Clarke off professional Jurie Snyman after hitting nine fours. Hussain joined his professional to add exactly 100 for the 4th wicket before the Australian was stumped by Emile Haratbar off Snyman after hitting seven fours and a six. Hussain and veteran Chris Bleazard added 59 in a little more than 8 overs before Hussain was stumped by Haratbar off Simon Hanson after hitting four fours in his 92 ball knock. Eight runs later Bleazard was caught by Ali Hasham off Clarke for 31. Accrington lost openers Graeme Sneddon (6) and Ali Hasham (16) to Paddy Martin at 7 and 42 with Clarke (13) falling to Charlie Gansler at 24. Hussain bowled Snyman (16) at 57. Shaukat Ali joined the attack and finished with 4-20 on his competition debut. The slow left armer had Sam Molloy (3) stumped by Joe Martin at 63, Haratbar (25) trapped in front at 90, Oliver Lowe clean bowled at 91 and Farnworth (5) trapped in front at 106 to round off the win in the 32nd over. Heap picked up Hanson (9) at 90 and Gansler returned to clean up Jo Hayhurst (2) at 94.
