Local Cricket Round Up Leaders Leek travelled to second paced Stone, the two teams were on the same points, so this was a great chance for Stone to push on for the title, batting first the home team posted 226 for 5 of their 55 overs, Leek were responding well at 40 for 1 off 11 when the rains came. Ashcombe were asked to bowl against Betley, they gleefully accepted the challenge and shot the visitors out for just 91, Rizwan Haider took 5 wickets and Josh Johnson three. Rain came and went as Ashcombe chased the score down, although wickets fell thick and fast they rolled over the line for 20 points. Rain was always forecasted for later in the day, so if you did not win early it was going to be a day you either loved it or hated it. Checkley`s game was abandoned due to the rain when in a healthy position, batting first they hit 199 for three, Mick Allen top scored with 76, opponents Hem Heath were 19 for 2 and thankful of the weather. Knypersley hosted Longton and this too was abandoned, Knyp laboured to 169 for 6, Longton were 2-0 at close. Endon enjoyed the arrival of the rain at Kidsgrove. Endon could only manage 130 on a blustery afternoon, when the rain came Kidsgrove were looking good 14 for 0, cheers rain. Oakamoor travelled to Wedgwoods and the home side looked happy at tea having posted 194 for 5 of 52 overs. Oakamoor were left thinking what might have been, when the weather changed Oaky were 31 for 0 wicket after 14 overs.
