TIMPERLEY set a run rate that Warrington seconds never got close to in a 91-run loss.

Billy Gilbert, 2 for 30, Isaac Webster, 2 for 54, and Paul Whelan, 2 for 55, could not prevent Timperley closing on 235 for 7 in the Cheshire County League Second XI First Division.

Joel Chaderton, 36, Gilbert, 24, and Brad Roden, 20, fought a rear guard action as Warrington were bowled out for 144.

Oxton dominated the Warrington attack as they raced to 235 for 7 in a Third XI Saturday Division One encounter.

After a solid opening partnership from Dom Hastings, 35, and Alan Hitchmough, 28, there was a blip before Dave Selvan, 45, Arron Soni, 36, and Dave Lee, 32, pushed Warrington to a draw.

Warrington fourths also drew against Irby.

Put in to bat, the runs were shared among the Warrington batsmen.

With Les Connolly, 44, Nathen Jeffery, 30 not out, and four other batsmen in the 20s Warrington closed on 207 for 8.

Against an accurate Warrington attack the home side were never close to the visitors' total, with Mans Naseem, 2 for 4, and Jack Street, 2 for 24, being the pick of the Warrington bowlers as Irby batted out time to limp to 97 for 7.
