Eagley v Westhoughton (Hamer Cup Round 2) 26th June 2005

Howfeners Crash Out Of Hamer Cup At Eagley

The cup holders were knocked out at the 2nd round stage in this game that was carried over from last week's rain.
The winning draw the day before at Eagley counted for nothing in this fixture for the visitors as Eagley ran out last over winners in the end. Westhoughton resumed where they left off the previous Sunday on 138-5 but didn't add a great deal to the total, being bowled out for just 166. Ian Pilkington top scored with 43 but was assisted only by Antonio Mayers (39) and Steve Parker (31). Eagley's Steve Foster taking 6-73.
Eagley's pro Mike O'Rourke then led the Eagley reply hitting 79 not out and sharing a partnership with David Shuttleworth of 86. Westhoughton's pro Antonio Mayers did his best to stifle the reply taking 4-84 as Eagley finished on 168-5.
