Friendly XI beat Neston
16-06-10
Dafydd Bailey impressed on his return to action for Carmel with a well-crafted half-century in a five-wicket victory at Neston.
The Loughborough University student notched up his second 50 of the summer in only his third appearance for the club in 2010 as Carmel’s Friendly XI eased past the 152 set for victory by the Wirral club.
Earlier, Derek Johnson (4-21) finished the pick of the visitors attack while left-arm seamer Chris Jones (2-25) enhanced his credentials with the ball.
Barry McGauty (46) laid the platform for Carmel’s response but it was Bailey’s fluid 52 which helped put the visitors on the brink of victory before Johnson (16) and teenager Alec Davies (17 not out) saw Carmel over the line with seven overs to spare. Full scorecard here…
