Ticknall hold on to start with win
TICKNALL’S 200-6 was just enough to see off Denby on the opening weekend of the new Derbyshire County League Premier Division season.
Paul Borrington (93) was straight into his stride and received good support from Alex Hughes (26) and Greg Cork (29) as Ticknall looked to set a testing target.
But Ben Scott (2-52) and Jack Richardson (2-42) put in economical spells and it was anybody’s match at the break.
Tom Wood (2-44) claimed an early wicket as Denby replied and the hosts slipped to 59-3, only Mitchell Bradley (29) making progress.
But Peter Burgoyne (84) took up the challenge alongside Mark Payne (27), adding 71 for the fourth wicket, to put Denby back in the chase.
Wood and Sam Trotman (3-35) did just enough to seal the points for Ticknall as Denby closed agonisingly short on 198-6.
Skipper James Burton finished 100 not out as Alrewas romped home by nine wickets inside 33 overs away to Lullington Park in Division One.
Burton struck three sixes and 15 fours as he and Gareth Woolley (46) shared an opening stand of 130.
Lullington Park never really got out of first gear after being put in, though Sam Eaton (80) hauled them
