WESTON are still in danger of the drop after a six-wicket defeat at Oulton.

With only 25 points in it, Mike Chester's army need a victory to make sure they stay out of the bottom two in NSSC Division Two.

Star man Saad Wasim tried his best to make it happen, top scoring with 55 as Adie Evans (38) and Stuart Fisher (32) also made decent contributions.

Johnson Mafa claimed 3-35 to restrict Weston to 203-7 off 60 overs.

To their credit Oulton went all out for victory.

And opener James Collett led the way from start to finish, hitting a superb unbeaten 81.

Although they suffered a couple of wobbles, Qasim Haleem also fired 78 to get them home inside 45 overs.

Oulton took 20 points, Weston claimed six.

Victory at home to Meakin looks paramount, this Saturday.
