WARRINGTON fell to a seven-wicket defeat at home to Alsager after electing to bat on a wet wicket.

The home side's decision proved to be disastrous as they were bowled out for 76, with only Liam Heaphy, Ben Bray and M Agar reaching double figures, before Alsager reached the target for the loss of just three wickets.

A weakened Warrington third team grabbed a draw at Neston's fourths, who declared with a massive score of 234 for 2 on the board.

Warrington adopted a pragmatic approach to the run chase and settled for a draw, with Tim Rothwell compiling a good innings of 60 while Mensoor Naseem took 23 overs to reach 13 as the visitors finished on 152 for 4 after a late flurry from Rashid and Bate.

The fourth team suffered a 155-run hammering at home to Brooklands' thirds, who amassed 220 for 3 in their innings despite J Burgess taking 2 for 49.

Warrington made a steady start to their reply, with 13-year-old Michael Rudd scoring 20 in a 45-run partnership with David Johnson, who hit 23, but a dramatic collapse saw them skittled out for 65.
