    Porthill wrap up Western Division with two matches to spare despite being given another scare by Upton … Didsbury edge the first of the two top of the table clashes in the Eastern Division, but Trinity remain in the hunt … September is ECB’s Women’s Cricket Big Month CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Summer Series Western Division – August 30: Porthill Park 60-9 (30; Becky Cripwell 29, Philippa Dagger 3-5, Madi Arthur 2-9, Hannah McGowan 2- 10, Sophie Morris 2-11) (25pts) Upton 51-9 (30; Charlie Scudder 12, Amy Scerri 3-12, Cripwell 2-2, Lucy Shenton 2-4, Grace Potts 2- 5) (5pts) • Porthill Park are the winners of the Western Division for 2020, sealing the honours with two matches to spare. The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.
