Steve 'Scooter' Jones claimed 3-6 from five overs as Carmel claimed an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Corus Maeshafn in their opening Chester & District Midweek League fixture.
The fiery paceman took the club's first wicket in the competition after Derek Johnson took a smart catch before clean bowling two middle-order batsmen.
Michael Harrsion took 3-7 from 4.4 overs and effected a run out while Barry McGauty (2-8) also got among the wickets as Maeshafn were dismissed for 45.
Carmel cruised to victory thanks to Twenty20 impresario Nick Washbrook who helped take the home side past the target in 11.2 overs despite the loss of Gwion Dafydd (5) and Gareth Roberts (6).
Washbrook finished unbeaten on 26 while Stephen Skates also chipped in with an unbeaten 7 not out. Full scorecard here...
