8th August 2009

Treeton brushed aside local neighbours Phoenix with relative ease thanks to a seven wicket victory.

Phoenix batted first and they could only manage 103 all out in the 41st over, Himesh Silva was back to first team action with a bang after recovering from a shattered bone in his thumb which kept him out of action for eight weeks before appearing for the 2nds a fortnight ago. In a short but devastating spell he bowled 4 overs, 2 maidens, 3 runs for 3 wickets! He was ably assisted by Ben Ashdown who also grabbed 3 for 20.

Treeton then cruised to victory losing just three wickets in the process as Steve Foster (47*) and Ben Ashdown (40) led the way. Treeton maintained their five point lead at the top of the Premier Division as second placed Hallam recorded an easy win against lowly Sheffield Collegiate B.

The 2nd team put in a magnificent display at home to top of the table Rotherham Town B, when they dismissed the visitors for just 115 (Craig Beaumont 5 for 16, George Barnes 3 for 36), before reaching 116 for the loss of just two wickets (George Barnes 40*).

The third team had no fixture.
