Semi Finals:
|
|
Bowdon and Oulton Park each won their semi-finals, against Widnes and Macclesfield repectively. Oulton Park won the toss for the final venue. |
FINAL:
|
|
In the final at Little Budworth on September 4th, Bowdon batted first in a bid to win the Cheshire Cup for the third consecutive year. |
|
|
However while each of their first five batsmen each got set, none could go on to make a big score and they finished on 190-9 after their 45 overs. |
|
|
When Oulton Park replied, Steve Selwood lead the way, thumping a fine 97 before being bowled by Chris Ashling. |
|
|
Oulton Park then coasted home to an eight wicket victory in the 34th over. |
|
|
Steve Selwood was made Man-of-the-Match having complimented his 97, with 4-26 in the middle of the Bowdon innings. |
