Winnington Park 1st XI returned to winning ways with a crushing victory over Runcorn on Saturday at The Recreation Ground.
Having won the toss and elected to bat, Runcorn captain Steven Sheakey would have been delighted to see his opening pair take the visitors to 40-0. However, his opposite number Mike Johns turned to his spinners; Jonathan Wales and Michael Dunning. Wales (6-43) and Dunning (4-53) were backed up by an excellent fielding display which saw the home side restrict Runcorn to 145 all out.
An early burst from Steven Sheakey (3-37) saw Park stumble to 10-3. Enter Ben Chaloner (77 not out) and Jonathan Wales (46 not out). The pair put on 136 for the fourth wicket to see Park home with 14 overs to spare.
Winnington Park captain Mike Johns said; "There were three stand out performers today, but the team were fantastic with their fielding and enthusiasm throughout. We're unbeaten at home having collected two victories and a winning draw. Hopefully next week we can transfer the home form into an away fixture when we travel to Mobberley."
Winnington Park CC 1st XI - 148-3 (31.4 overs)
