Jamie Leicester then rushed Rylands to a 61-run win thanks to a spell of five wickets in 21 balls.

Ian Mason, with his fourth half century on the trot, and Richard Buck, 40, added 83 for the second wicket as Rylands set Mossley a target of 209 for 3 from 42 overs.

The Gorsey Lane boys will play host to Kerridge on Saturday at 2pm.
