HASLINGTON set their sights on mid-table after toppling league leaders Silverdale.

All smiles at Clay Lane after the hosts sprang the surprise of the day in NSSC Division Two.

Sohail Tanvir and Dave Moreton performed heroics with the ball after a real team effort via willow.

Put into bat, Tanvir fell for 17 but Richard Bebbington (31) and Dean Bedson (25) steadied the ship before both fell in quick succession along with Chris Henderson.

Dave Moreton hit a patient 22 to get them towards a respectable total with good back up from Jonny Phipps (27) while Ben Tomlinson (15) and a quickfire 18 from Simon Whitby saw Haslington declare on 175-7.

Promotion-chasing Silverdale were never in contention as Haslington took them apart.

Only seventh man Nasir Khan (15) made double figures as they collapsed to just 87 all out inside 26 overs.

Tanvir (5-31) and Dave Moreton (5-34) did serious damage.

They can make a real push with victory at struggling Newcastle on Saturday.
