    THE DAZZLER EXTRA – ON THIS WEEK – JUNE 21 June 25 2007 The Dazzler reported the unlikely pairing of Lauren Griffiths and Monty Panesar featuring in the same team, as was the case with Ali Cutler and Graeme Hick! At this time, the Chester Evening Leader newspaper selected a weekly Cricket Hot Shots XI, made up of players who had made an impact in the world of cricket over the previous week. The eclectic mix for the weekend of 9/10 June included Monty Panesar, Chester Boughton Hall’s century making batsman Jim Gillson, Andy Hall and Danny Leech who broke Cheshire’s Minor Counties Championship partnership record, and at number six: LAUREN GRIFFITHS - The Cheshire captain and wicketkeeper took three dismissals against Middlesex, including catching England's Beth Morgan off Dawn Prestidge. And alongside Graeme Hick in the 16/17 June team was: ALI CUTLER – The Chester Boughton all-rounder made 106 runs and took five wickets to spearhead her side to a convincing victory against Appleton. June 20 2010 Cheshire Women powered their way to their first win of the year with a record-breaking victory over Worcestershire, division two’s bottom team. The Cheshire total of 284-4 easily surpassed the previous mark of 231-6 made against East Anglia in 1999, and the winning margin of 173 runs bettered the 170-run win over Sussex 2nd XI in 1998. Dawn Prestidge scored 107 from 104 deliveries with 16 fours, and this was Cheshire’s highest individual innings for 12 years and only six runs shy of the county record set by Sarah Collyer in 1998.

    THE DAZZLER EXTRA – ON THIS WEEK – MAY 24 May 27 2008 The Dazzler reported that Cheshire coach Andy Paton received an award as one of the Sky Sports North West Coaches of the Year, presented to him on the outfield at Old Trafford at tea on the first day of the Test Match, by Sir Ian Botham. May 25 2010 2010 would be Appleton’s treble winning year, and before the end of May in that year they were already the only team who were unbeaten across all competitions. May 26 2013 Dawn Prestidge took 6-28, including a hat-trick, then made 42 with the bat, but all in a losing cause! Cheshire went down to a 13-run defeat to Ireland at Hawk Green. May 26 2013 Emma Birks and Naela Ahmad – the latter would later join the Stockport club – inspired second division Hawarden Park to a Knockout Cup win over top-flight Stockport Trinity. May 26 2014 Appleton’s Jenny Clarke took seven wickets for five runs, which at the time was the league record individual bowling performance record. May 26 2014 Romiley’s Penny Critchlow made her second successive league century, and after her previous effort had been in a losing cause, this knock inspired her team to a victory over Wistaston. May 24 2015 Didsbury made a major statement on the way to winning the division two title. Hannah Jones and Abby Nicholson each took three cheap wickets as Wistaston were bundled out for just 26 and the Manchester club won by 10 wickets. It was no mean feat - Wistaston were themselves on a three- match league unbeaten run, and a sequence of six without defeat in all competitions.

Yorkshire club Sessay were reduced to 8-3 and 29-4 before recovering to post a good total, but Didsbury looked to have this one in the bag when they reached 99-3 in their run chase. Alas it was not to be, but as one of the first two Cheshire League sides to enter this competition, Didsbury have certainly demonstrated how favourably the League’s clubs measure up against some of the best that other leagues have to offer.

  • The Dazzler Extra – on This Week – May 3
    THE DAZZLER EXTRA – ON THIS WEEK – MAY 3 May 6 2008 You might think a hat-trick in your very first game of competitive cricket belongs in the realms of fairytales, but Hawarden Park’s Danni Oates did exactly that in this victory over Appleton. Oates continued to perform consistently all season for a Hawarden team that could also call upon Dawn Prestidge, Natalie Heap and Shami Ahmed that year. The Welsh side were division two champions and runners-up in the T20 Divisional Competition and came closest to threatening Chester Boughton Hall’s 100 per cent record in that season. Oates continued to play for Hawarden until 2011. May 3 2009 This was a candidate for Cheshire Women’s best ever run chase, as the stiff target of 190 was not only achieved but was reached with six wickets and five overs in hand. Dawn Prestidge was unbeaten on 82 and Lauren Griffiths made 40, with the pair adding 97 in 20 overs. May 2 2010 2010 would be Appleton’s first title winning year, and their bowlers certainly served notice of their intentions on the first day as Chester Boughton Hall were bowled out for just 51, with Nathalie Long taking 4-10. Appleton’s batsmen just got them over the line to win by two wickets. May 1 2011 The Cheshire-based Premier League North ‘super-club’, based at Warrington CC for the last two years of its existence, had just been disbanded, so with the senior county season yet to commence, there was a strong look to some of the early season CWCL match line-ups.
