PRESCOT and Odyssey CC gained their fourth victory of the season against St Mary's Old Boys on Saturday.

Batting first P&O struggled early on and at one stage were 9-3. However, Sean Yeates and Andy Greenwood (21) dug in to stem the flow of wickets. Skipper Carl Oughterson then hit a quick 35 including a massive six.

Alan McComb picked a perfect day to regain his form hitting an excellent 58 to take the P&O Score to 157-7 dec.

The SMOB over rate was an appalingly slow 13 an hour -even the West Indies at their peak got through their overs more quickly.

I n reply only the SMOB skipper managed to stay at the crease for any amount of time before the P&O attack in the form of Ian Wilkinson took that wicket. Again the leg spin of Alan McComb and Ian Wilkinson did the damage to SMOB, the former picking up another five-wicket haul while the latter took four.

The Scond XI took their 20 points on Friday evening,when for the third consecutive week SMOB failed to turn out a team.

This Saturday P&O's top two teams take on the Welshmen of St Asaph, while the thirds visit Nalgo.
