IN a programme curtailed because of the poor weather, Wallys Eleven went top of Section A, ahead of Capital Catering, as a result of Adlington’s withdrawal from the league.

Catering are a point in front of BYP Ladies A after beating them by 11 runs.

Wallys had a fine 19-run win over The Grapes A following an 88-88 first-innings deadlock a soggy pitch.

Elton Vale A enjoyed a comfortable victory over The New Inn, scoring 82 and 89 while their opponents were restricted to just 90 for the match.

They have an outstanding fixture against their B team who suffered the disappointment of not having a game.

Unbeaten AJs had a 33-run victory over Rupert Ladies C and are joint-top with BYP Ladies B who also won by default when Blackrod CC did not appear.

CRS are just two points behind the leaders and two ahead of Hulton Lane Ladies after beating them by a comfortable margin.

With the registration forms now in for the BSF summer league and 10 new teams applying for membership, people have been asking when they will know if they have been accepted. That question cannot be answered until fees have been paid in January because no team is actually in the league until their fee has been paid. In the past, teams have submitted applications but had second thoughts and not paid, thus effectively withdrawing the application.
