🏏Poor first game of the season for the first team with a heavy home to Irby, who come down from the Liverpool comp this season. Batting first Irby scored 201 for 9 with Abbie wright the main wicket taker, taking 3 for 41.

🏏Skelmersdale where bowled out 86 with Luke Manley top scoring with 29 and only Joe till and Barry Leadbetter the only other batters getting in to double figures.

2nd team game was abandoned due to a unfit pitch

🏏 Match Report- Sunday 28th April

Today our merged T20 side with Winstanley Park took to the field for their first T20 game- against strong opponents Liverpool CC. A wet couple of months meant a slow ground, but a dry day to get the first game of cricket of the season in.
Captain Abbie Wright won the toss- electing to bat first. Nat Holden and Meg opened up the new season- with a strong partnership to start off the innings. Meg was the star of the batting side, staying in for 20 overs and scoring a strong 51 not out. With some struggling batting from the other end, Skelmersdale ended up putting on a worrying 96 runs.
Skelmersdale then took to the field, and with an injured Kayleigh Thompson not taking her usual spot as wicket keeper- the outcome looked bleak. The girls however pushed every ball- keeping their spirits high and their voices loud consistently.
The breakthrough came from Anna, who broke Liverpools opening partnership and changed the course of the game. 6 more wickets followed from here, 1 from Ellie Parkinson, and 5 from Nat Martlew in 12 balls, marking a peculiar, but first 5 wicket haul (5-2).
In the end, Liverpool ended up 79-7 off their 20 overs, giving Skelmersdale the win. The girls really kept the intensity high, and did themselves and the club proud.

Captains player is joint this week due to a near impossible decision between Meg and Nat Martlew. Both made vital contributions to the game and played really well. The team can only go up from here🏏🩵

🏏Good luck to our combined Skelmersdale cc & Winstanley cc womens team today in our first ever women’s T20 League game at home Skelmersdale cc against Liverpool 2pm start.
