Captain Catterall won the toss on a green top and had no hesitation in putting the opposition into bat. A rare plus point for Catterall as he was described as a 'rubbish tosser'.

Openers Ben Hewitt and Dan Wearden bowled tight lines with 5 consecutive maidens to start which eventually led to Dan getting 2 wickets in an over.

Widnes then let the foot off the gas and a partnership of note was beginning. Enter Birthday Boy McCurdy who confused the set batsmen with a looping full toss. Wearden then quickly got back in the act and having seen how successful the full toss was tried and succeeded with one of own.

Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals and Widnes dismissed Tattenhall for 94. Dan Wearden finished with 5 well deserved wickets, 2 for Hewitt and McCurdy and 1 for Dean

Chasing a low target on a farmers field was never going to be simple. Openers Myers and Byrne got us off the flyer scoring 0 and 1 respectively. Byrne can feel had done by as he was adjudged LBW to a ball that was clipping a fly who was perched on leg stick. Owen Price entered the fray early on fresh from his nap and played 2 shots per ball to race to 18 before being dismissed.

Alex 'badge' Curlett was the glue that held the inning together and his 28 was key to Widnes getting near the target. Wickets however continued to fall with Fletcher and Badge being dismissed.

Big boss man come in to bat worth chicken wing juice down his shirt and a bone in his mouth. His blend of aggression and pure laziness got Widnes home comfortably with 5 wickets to spare.

A swift journey home then got the Chemists on to winning beers at the club with members of the 1st XI. A good night was had as a warm up for the ICC World Cup final the following day.
