PRESCOT and Odyssey Cricket Club's season got under way at the weekend when a combined first and second team took on Haydock CC in a friendly at Haydock.

P&O claimed victory scoring 189 off their 40 overs with Haydock mustering 140 in reply.

P&O's third XI's season began with a league victory at Tranmere Victoria, batting first P&O could only manage to score 80 on a very poor wicket. Stand-in skipper Mike Johnes top scored with 25. In reply Tranmere were in dire straits at 29-9 before the P&O attack relaxed and allowed them to reach 60 before finishing them off.

Veteran Colin West claimed five wickets.

This weekend P&O's two senior teams take on Birkenhead St Marys.
