PROFESSIONAL Andre Percival hit a superb unbeaten century as Haslington were unlucky not to secure a vital victory over relegation rivals Norton.

In-form Percy keeps doing his bit to keep Haslington in NSSC Division One, this time with 101no at home to the rock-bottom side.

Lee Morris made 76 and Nick Jones 31 as they declared on a strong 242 for 3 with high hopes.

Gledhill took 4 for 39 and Holt 3 for 59 but Hasington failed to break a last-wicket partnership as Norton held out on 179 for 9.

Haslington took 9 point to Norton's 6 and are still in danger with three left to play.
