The First XI made the trip north to play league leaders Lytham who have won eight out of inevitable games so far. Sefton won the toss and decided to bat first. George Lee opened and scored 34 before he was fourth man out. Last week's hero Ben Percival and skipper Paul Horton were both dismissed without scoring and it was left to Sam Parkinson to provide the middle order strength, scoring 26 and featuring in a last wicket stand of 26 with Jimmy Dixon (15 not out) as Sefton were dismissed for 114 in 48,4 overs.
This total did not look enough against the league leaders but Sefton were welcoming back opening bowlers Jimmy Dixon and Huzaifa Zubair. After an opening stand of 21, the two bowlers struck with Huzaifa taking 3 for 20 and Jimmy 3 for 41 to reduce Lytham to 54 for 6. Leo Spilsbury then joined the attack and remarkably finished off his permitted 7 overs by achieving a hat trick to bowl out Lytham for 78 in 27 overs. Leo finished with 4 for 16.
An excellent victory.
