Westhoughton vs Ainsdale 1st XI

Westhoughton beat Ainsdale by 6 wickets in a rain affected game that was reduced to 25 overs per side.
Ainsdale batted first and posted 136-7 from their 25 overs, this total was much lower than it could have been as some tight bowling from Nathan Blair (1-19 from 5) as well as wickets at vital times by Kieran Edwards (3-30) and Matt Fanning (2-29) rocked the visitors.
In response, Westhoughton began badly as they were 11-2 and then 33-3 from 8 overs. Slowly but surely they began to find their stride thanks to Rob Brown (70* from 51 balls, including five fours and five sixes). Going into the last 10 overs, Westhoughton still needed 60 to win. However, only 4.2 overs later the game was over as Brown continued on his way to his 70* as well as being supported by Mike King (23* from 17 balls) as they had an unbeaten 63 partnership in only 5.3 overs to win Westhoughton the game.
