! ! Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 21– SEPTEMBER 10 ! Alderley Edge thrash 2015 champions to win 2016 title ALDERLEY EDGE were celebrating their first ECB Premier League title since 2008 on Saturday evening after beating reigning champions Hyde by 112 runs at Moss Lane. They are 44 points clear with one game to play so cannot be caught. Congratulations to Adam Worrall and his team, beaten only once since the second week of the season Lancashire all-rounder Jordan Clark was the key to their 13th victory, scoring a quality 119 in a fifth wicket stand worth 142 with Richard Wilkinson, 45 in a tally of 243-6, Will Walker taking 3-77. Winners of the title themselves in the past two seasons, Hyde batted limply in reply and were all out for 131, Harry Dearden 48, Andy Windle 4-31, with Clark, 3-15 and Wilkinson, 3-50 completing outstanding personal performances. Word had by then come through that their only realistic challengers Bowdon had lost by 68 runs at lowly Nantwich. Fighting hard against relegation, the Dabbers ran up a modest 193, Rob Cook-Sievewright 50 with Chris Ashling, Dan Williams and Richard Carter sharing nine of the wickets. Bowdon’s unreliable batting let them down after tea when they were bowled out for 125 by Ollie Griffiths, 5-26 and Jimmy Warrington, 3-22. Nantwich needed these points with relegation rivals Macclesfield also winning, by three wickets at home to Timperley who posted 167-9, Craig Grindley 38, Rob Porter 4-37, Ollie Marsden 4-41.
