RYLANDS stretched their lead at the top of Cheshire Building Society Cricket Alliance Division Three to 75 points despite not playing on Saturday.

Capenhurst were unable to raise a team for the clash, allowing Rylands to take the maximum 25 points for a forfeited fixture.

The under 13s had a comfortable victory at Frodsham, winning by 95 runs after posting 127 for 8 and dismissing the hosts for 33.

The under 15s lost by 10 runs at home to Oakmere, with Tom Ray scoring 50 not out. James Minshull and Tom Horton impressed with the ball.
