Red Lion tamed
15-06-10
Oliver Saynor hit an unbeaten 45 as Carmel claimed an easy victory over the Red Lion in the Chester & District Midweek League.
The pub side had been dismissed for 75 in 18.5 overs as Midweek XI skipper Barry McGauty took 3-9 off just 11 balls.
Stephen Skates (2-11) snaffled two victims while Dafydd Timothy (1-11), left-armer Chris Jones (1-15) and Derek Johnson (1-15) all chipped in with a wicket apiece.
Nick Washbrook (3) and Will Loveland (0) fell cheaply in the Carmel response but big-hitting Saynor gave a snapshot of his batting potential with a superb 45 not out.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Christopher Jones (16) also weighed in with a useful contribution as Carmel passed the total in 13 overs for the loss of just three wickets. Full scorecard here...
