A twist in the tail

after losing by eight wickets at Swaine.

Skipper Steve Whitwam topscored with 30 but Golcar were dismissed for 136 with Imran Arif taking five for 50.

Max Joice then made sure there were no problems for the champions-elect with 64 not out.

Best knock of the top-flight programme was Devon Smith’s brutal 166 not out in their six-wicket win over Honley, for whom Will Fraine hit 86 in a total of 272-8.
