Haslington Deliver Knockout Blow to Jets T20 Hopes

Haslington Deliver Knockout Blow to Jets T20 Hopes
28 Jun 2019

North East Cheshire bowed out of the 1stXI UKFast CCL Twenty20 Cup with a home loss to Division 1 leaders Haslington on a sunsoaked evening at London Road, made to pay the price for a stuttering batter display that could only post an underpar 100-9.

The Jets only lost one wicket in the opening 10 overs but were limited to 50-1 at the halfway point having failed to take advantage of the powerplay. A manic effort to catch up the scoring rate only yielded the same runs from the back half of the innings and for the loss of a further eight wickets as only Chris Williams (28), Charlie Dahlenburg (21) and Danny Williams (14*) made double figures.

The visitors were put under some pressure thanks to a double strike in the third over and then accurate spells from Jamie Henderson (1-11) and Sam Waller (1-15) which took the game down to the final over. Despite a valiant effort with the ball the score on the board was simply too low to defend though and the key wicket of Ben Istead (39*) never arrived as he serenely guided his team home.
