Marple/Compstall thirds returned to winning ways with a fine victory over Hyde’s third eleven at Bowden Lane last Sunday.
Acting skipper Will Darby led from the front on winning the toss. He carried his bat for 85 not out in an above par Marple total of 180 for 6 in the full forty overs. He was given excellent support by Marple stalwart Andy Gichero with 29 and also young wicket keeper batsman Will Cheetham with a fine 30.
When Hyde replied they struggled against Sam Stretton who was returning from a broken thumb. He took a vital 3 for 22, and there were also wickets for Sam Ittig, Chris Sullivan and Paul Roberts. For Hyde, opening bat Mark Kohler made a fine 78 before falling to Stretton. The visitors closed on 148 for 6.
A healthy crowd, supporters of both clubs were present, made use of the Marple club’s excellent facilities.
