Turner’s Five Not Enough as Rain Hands Prestwich DLS Win Over Brave Clifton
A very difficult result for the 1s to swallow at Manchester Road on Saturday as local rivals Prestwich skipped back round the M60 with all 5 points in a rain effected DLS result.
The lads put in a brave performance, firstly getting the game on in very wet conditions and providing a gritty performance that deserved a lot more with Mason Turner the picking up 5 wickets for 46 and all bowlers contributing to keep the Prestwich total to 151 from the revised 32 overs.
In reply Clifton were always ahead of the par score until the first spot of rain and the loss of a wicket, which took the par score in favour of the visitors. Unfortunately, there was no time left to get back out and Clifton were left 5 runs short.
The result drops Clifton in to the bottom 3 for the first time this season. Although heart should be taken from a valiant performance.
