Morley 2nds through to Shield Semi

A 4 wicket win for the 2nds today saw them march into the Priestley Shield Semi final. Read on for details.

Winning the toss and choosing to bat, Baildon lost wickets early to opening bowlers Michael Davies (2-21) and Spen Horsfall (1-22). Our young spin attack then got to work on the middle order led by Jerome Austin with 3-23 from his 10 overs and despite being wicketless, George Robson's 10 overs went for just 8 runs. Ash Daly also chipped in with 2-17 from his 7 overs before Graeme Roberts finished things off with a wicket and a run out.

99all out and 'The Daddy' Richard Winn was able to have a rest day!

In reply Morley made the required confident start with a 42 opening partnership between Ryan Dowse 22 and Michael Davies 31. Despite losing regular wickets after that Morley eased home with 20 overs to spare by 4 wickets.
