Ashton Won the toss and elected to field.
Opening the bowling for Ashton was C. White and N. Barnes, both bowled well but without any luck. The opening batsmen were keeping the score ticking over slowly off the first 10 overs they were 18 without loss. Chris bowled 5 overs of his allotted overs and then L. Papworth replaced him. Once Lloyd sorted his rhythm out he bowled well and made the first break through T. Bindley was caught by C. White for 6. Nigel had finished his spell of 8 overs for just ten runs and was replaced by J. Ray. Lloyd then took the next wicket to fall, he bowled A. Chappell for just 1. The score now at 31 for 2 off 17 overs. Mean while the opening bowler that remained was batting well. After yet another dropped catch for the season by the skipper D. Blatch, J. Ray took it upon himself to take the catch off of his own bowling to take the wicket of J. R. Thomas for 15. Lloyd finished his spell of 7 overs without taking any further wickets. Replacing him was A. Buckley. To start with A. Buckley struggled to get his length right, but once he found it he bowled well but unfortunately didn't take any wickets. D. Blatch took over from J. Ray at the other end and bowled well to take the wicket of M. Raja caught by L Papworth for 20. C. White returned to the action with the score at 109 for 3 off 34 overs. In C. White's first over back the opening batsman, M. Guy, that was still there took a suicidal run and was run out for 60 by the wicket keeper S. Nowlan. Dan in the final over, had G. Dalby LBW for 8 and S. Martin caught by R. Awdry for 0. Final score for Wigston St. James 132 for 7 off 40 overs.
