It was too hard to get the link on the website at the moment, that might be sorted today. Anyway, here is Wavell's match report wp v sale (promotion contenders) once again skipper dave hine won the toss and with 3 regular first teamers back decided to bat first this plan nearly backfired as quickly both openers were dismissed but aussie oneill steadied the ship and built useful partnerships with amatiello and newall and after 45 overs winnington had posted a useful 160 and a welcome 8 batting points then the fireworks began as oneill singlehandedly dispatched the sale bolwers all around the ground and into the works as 73 runs were plundered off only 30 balls with oneill finishing on an awesome 145 not out and cherian a useful 20 previously sale had bettered this score and winnington knew that the would have to bowl and field excellantly to have any chance of victory with cowell once again leading the attack and taking 2 wickets sale quickly fell behind the scoring rate with excellant back up bowling from cherian amatiello chambres and cormack and great catching from wales as well as great cover fielding from the captain for a run out sale were never in with a chance, all that remained was could winnington pull off a much needed win this was not to be as the sale batsmen doggedly battled out the remaining overs and finished on 168 -7 a valuable 14 points to sales 9 which takes winnington out of the bottom 2 relegation places chairman ian johns commented "sean is something special his batting was simply a different class" next weeks game v middlewich away sunday cheshire cup v brooklands away cancelled rescheduled for next week
