Brymbo's tight win against Northop goes down to the wire
A week after they cracked over 400 runs in a big win at Bethesda, things were just as exciting for Brymbo in a tight two-wicket triumph over Northop. It was the visitors who made first use of the batting track and their 50 overs yielded 278 for six. Opener Elliot Colclough hit a sparking 107 for Northop, supported by Jordan Evans (34), skipper Bart Ryan-Beswick (31) and Matthew Mullarkey (30 not out). Joe Norman snapped up two wickets for Brymbo, whose well-timed chase got to 279 for eight off the penultimate delivery.

Elsewhere, Denbigh thrashed Bethesda by 10 wickets. It's five wins out of five for impressive Hawarden Park and Halkyn in Division One.

Jason produces maximum effort in Brymbo's epic innings
Dan Parry's side romped to a thumping 352-run success during their Premier Division trip to Bethesda and Brymbo's second league success of the campaign was sparked by an amazing 425 for two in 50 overs, Sam Aplin top scoring with a superb 126. Each of the final 10 overs of the innings produced double-figures runs wise. Underwood (pictured) got to the crease at the end of the 42nd over and the Brymbo batter took three deliveries to get used to the wicket. He finished the 43rd over with a four and a six, and after Johandre Barnard sensibly took a single in the next over, Underwood struck two fours either side of a pair of maximums. It took Underwood just 18 deliveries to reach his half-century, which included three fours and six sixes. He faced another 11 deliveries after this, hitting one more four and five further maximums, meaning he ended up on 86 not out from 29 deliveries - a strike rate of 296.55! Underwood and Barnard were only together at the crease for eight overs, but in that time they compiled an unbroken third wicket stand of 119. Brilliant Barnard would end up with 119 not out from 85 balls. Parry said: 'Jason's innings was ridiculous, it was just magnificent ball-striking.'

Gwersyllt Park are looking for some run-derful times
Park head west to tackle Menai Bridge tomorrow as they seek to secure a first win of the season. Gwersyllt Park skipper Jamie Griffiths said: 'If we're being totally honest, a few of us give our wickets away. 'Players have got to go on and score bigger runs. Thirties and 40s are not acceptable. We have got to go on and bat the overs out. 'We will get there. This set of lads are great. We have got to work hard to get out of it. 'We have got to get both sides (of the game) right.' A lengthy trek is also in store for Brymbo as they take on basement side Bethesda. Brymbo go into the match after a narrow 11-run loss to unbeaten Bangor and skipper Dan Parry admitted: 'We should have won that one, but it's fine margins. 'It's five runs here and five runs there. 'On another day we would be talking about three from three. 'But we are one from three and we have had quite high points for losses.' Looking ahead, Parry added: 'We have just got to put a run of games together. 'It was nice to right some wrongs (in the Welsh Cup) on Sunday. 'It was nice to see Sam Aplin get his first 100 (against Connah's Quay) on Sunday.' Northop are also looking to bounce back from a defeat as they welcome Conwy tomorrow. Last time out, Northop loss out by seven wickets versus Menai Bridge and captain Bart Ryan-Beswick said: 'It was good to get 200 runs on the board. 'But, it was probably 40 or 50 runs short on a good wicket. 'They chased well and they didn't give us many chances.' Leading the way was a knock of 63 from Elliot Colclough and Ryan-Beswick added: 'Elliot batted very well, which was really good, and good for his confidence.' Looking ahead to Conwy tomorrow, the skipper added: 'It won't be an easy game, but we're at home. It is an important game. We don't want to be dragged down there.' Venumadhav Peram will return for Northop. All-rounder Andrew Swarbrick has swapped Chirk for defending champions Mochdre and he will head to St Asaph with his teammates tomorrow.
