Enfield beat Rawtenstall

It was off to the valleys, when Enfield travelled to play Rawtenstall in an eventful match.

Enfield started the day by winning the toss and decided to bat, however the afternoon started off with some early fall of wickets, with the first 5 batsman falling for a just 28 between them - Lewis Wright top scoring amongst them with 9.

However it was with the determination of Adam Bracewell, Tiarnan Hamill and Faheem Basharat putting 195 runs between them help secure a healthy target for Rawtenstall to chase. Notable was Adam falling short his century on 99 not out and Faheem with his half century putting on a steady 53. Rawtenstalls Saliya Saman took 3 for 48, while Ishaq Hussain, Keith Roscoe and Mohammed Tayyib took the other 3 wickets between them.

Now with Rawtenstall in to bat and chasing 237 off 50 overs, it was a early fall of wicket by Matthew Kershaw that made the home side nervous, however a determined batting performance through the top and middle order with big hits from Musa Rehman (29), Saliya Saman (58), Abbass Ahmad (42) and Mohammed Tayyib (40).

However with Faheem Basharat getting a 4 wicket haul for 55 runs along with Simon O'loughlin with 3/61 and then Ben Dowling and Yasir Ali taking a wicket each, it left Rawtenstall with an ever unachievable target and eventually reached 217 for 9.
