Northop Hall have been getting on with things in the field!
Hall swept into pole position with their 118-run outcome against Parkfield Liscard last time out and victory at Prescot & Odyssey tomorrow is likely to keep them in first place. Whatever happens during the closing portion of the campaign, Ben Slater's side won't be hanging around! 'It's kind of we bowl our overs really quickly now,' said Slater, who hopes to have a strong side at his disposal tomorrow. 'Last week, we bowled 65 overs in three hours and 10 minutes - it's a bit of a tactic of ours.' Another top showing from James Hurlin (pictured above) will be on the wishlist. In the last triumph, he struck 83 with the bat and then took a superb 6-27. Hall Seconds host Old Xaverians Seconds while Chirk just can't catch a break in Shropshire League action. On a tough run of defeats, Chirk will target a change in fortune for tomorrow's Division One clash away to Quatt Seconds. In Division Seven, Chirk Seconds are at home to Quatt Thirds.
