MID Cheshire are on course to finish first after recording another victory in the British Ladies’ County Championship on Sunday.
Their success in a President’s Division encounter with Lancashire was built on an emphatic win, by 71 chalks, at Castle in the home leg.
They returned nine winning cards there, including wins to single-figures for Owley Wood duo Andrea Bell (21-3) and Dot Barker (21-9).
Five different clubs were represented.
Mid Cheshire held their own at Fleetwood Hesketh during the away leg too, missing out by nine points on aggregate.
Norley pair Joan Nicholas and Elaine Garner were impressive victors along with Alisha Marshall (Castle), Wendy Allen (Barnton Cricket Club) and Gill Tench (Wharton Cons).
Mid Cheshire’s next game is against Dudley and District, beaten in both their matches to date, on Sunday, July 15.
