Match Report from Clifton's website:

Dave Wild and Dave Garner at last showed some of the late order resistance which has been missing from the firsts this season.

It quickly became apparent from April, that removing the first four or five batsmen did not expose a tail in this league, so it was nice to see the side recover from 90-6 to go on and win their second league game of the season. Both Daves scored maiden CLL half centuries as the score rose to 216 and with Lee Wolstenholme weighing in with five wickets, Royton fell twenty runs short, though they did hang on with nine down to deny us maximum points.

The seconds suffered at the hands of Royton and the currently outstanding Manchester Road playing surface as they were made to chase 250 plus. Again, they were unable to find the batsman to go on to make the match winning innings, though Geoff Griffiths passed the half century mark again as they responded with another 200+ score, but fell well short of the required total.

 

From the Papers...

Oldham Evening Chronicle

There was disappointment for ROYTON whose troubles continued as they lost at home to bottom-club Clifton by 22 runs.
In a match of 43 overs per side, Clifton made 216 before restricting Royton to 194 for nine.
David Wild hit 64 and David Garner 60 as Clifton posted a 200-plus total despite Royton overseas amateur Shaun Marais taking six wickets for 77. Royton were bitterly disappointed to lose after Denny Hulme and Luke Procter shared a 102 run opening partnership.
Procter top scored for Royton with 67 with Hulme making 35. Ryan Harding also made 35, but seven players failed to reach double figures which was responsible for the loss.
And the play to inflict much of the damage was former Middleton player Lee Wolstenholme who took five wickets for 57 in his first match of the season.
