Week 5 started on Monday with an away game for Storm against Cheadle Hulme Ladybridge, and it was a tight one! Having won the toss and elected to field, Storm started strong with the ball and didn’t concede many boundaries, but Ladybridge’s running between the wickets was just too good. Superb bowling from Karen Johnson (0/12) and skipper Lucy Dodds (0/12) kept Ladybridge to 317. It was absolute carnage in the second innings, with Rachael Read (21 off 14) and Emilia Maddison (26 off 19) trying their best, but sadly only just missing out by 1 run.

Over the weekend, the rain was the winner. With the 1s, 2s and 3s all getting abandoned.

The 1s batted first against Widnes and openers Jonny Davidson (46 off 72) and James Dodds (16 off 15) made a good start before the rain came down. Back at home, the 2s chose to bowl having won the toss against Bramhall. Lewis Grayson (2/38) and Gareth Watterson (2/61) were both in with the wickets before the rain ended play to leave the opposition 6 down.

On Sunday, the 3s managed to get in a full innings before having to abandon the match. They won the toss and bowled at home against Toft, Shayan Imran (3/35) and Asad Khan (3/28) helped get Toft all out for 166. Brandon Moy (8*) and Elliot Brown (0*) opened the batting but only managed 3 overs before the rain came lashing down.

The 4s play an entire game against Bowdon! Losing the toss and being stuck in to bat, with weather around it was a tough ask. A maiden senior 50 for Dhariya Parekh off 84 balls and just 2 4s consisted of many quick singles between the wickets and the partnership with Madhav Jith Ampady (31 off 35) helped Sale put up a target of 152 before we were all bowled out. The second innings came and went, with the sun typically starting to show, Bowdon got to the target with only 5 overs remaining. Great bowling from Noah Wood (2/21) and Prakash Badgujar (2/27) helped Sale get 6 wickets.

Last week was incredible for our amazing juniors!

On Tuesday, the girls made Sale CC history by being able to field an Under 9s, Under 11s and Under 13s side for the first time on the same night. The Under 9s dominated Timperley, the Under 11s beat Cheadle Hulme Ladybridge, unfortunately the Under 13s weren’t quite able to get the job done against Woodford.

The coaches work immensely hard to develop the section, we congratulate them, the players, and thank the parents for all their continued support. Well done everyone, onwards and upwards!

Our two Under 9 boys sides battled it out in the rain on Thursday against Brooklands, sealing a double win!

Thank you to the parents for sticking through it despite the rain.

Thank you to for hosting us and we can’t wait to play you guys again - a lovely group of coaches and children.

This makes the side unbeaten so far this summer - well done lads!

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week.

In cricket, you’re never alone. Whether you’re batting with a teammate, or supporting the bowler running in. You’ve always got your teammates around you. Off the field, it’s exactly the same.

At Sale Cricket Club, we know how important it is to look out for one another. This year’s theme is Take Action. If there’s a player not staying after a game for a drink, or they’re quieter than normal. You can never ask “are you okay?”, enough.

Speak up, reach out, you’re never alone. 💚

What. A. Week!

Bank Holiday Monday saw the 3s travel to Bredbury St Marks, as they took them on in the T20 comp. Winning the toss, Michael Playle (62 off 43) and Shayan Imran (44 off 50) took charge with the bat, with the ball, Imran (2/3) and Shah Jawaid (2/4) guided the side to a 60 run victory.

The Silverbacks opened up their account on Wednesday with an 8 wicket win against Ashton-On-Mersey. Lionel Thompson (30* off 24) and Andy Gould (26 off 22) stared with the bat, whilst Nigel Bellamy (2/19) and new skipper Rob Moore (1/15) shone with the ball.

Storm had another double header! The derby against Brooklands was a close one, only winning by 4 runs. Key bowling from Emma Ross (2/11) and Jade Williams (2/22) kept the hosts down to 294 assisted by some brilliant fielding. Excellent batting from captain Lucy Dodds (27 off 14) and Rachael Read (27 off 11) brought Storm’s total up to 298.

Storm were back at home on Thursday playing YO-YO for the first time against North East Cheshire. Batting first, Lucy Dodds (33* off 22), Emilia Maddison (32* off 18), and Becca Broadbent (30* off 10) all retired for the first time whilst Emma Ross (2/21) and Ellie Wright (1/9) helped bowl the side to a 24 run victory.

Saturday saw the 1s back at home playing Port Sunlight in a rain affected game. Bowling first, Amlyn Layton and Seb Schofield bowled well to see the visitors score 204 after 39 overs. Chasing 212, Schofield inspired with the bat scoring 65* off 41 with 5 4s and 3 6s, assisted by George Walker (48 off 69) only coming up 9 short of the total.

The 2s were abandoned at Alderley Edge, but not before Muneeb Iftikhar (33 off 37) and Jamie Coombes (17 off 44) got some runs on the board.

The 3s were away at Ashley. Winning the toss and batting first, captain Brayden Ross led from the front scoring his maiden senior half century, a remarkable 71* off 45 with 9 4s and 1 6, Salman Kazi also scored 52 off 51 with 7 4s and 2 6s, posting a mammoth 282/7. Shayan Imran (3/20) was thrown the new ball and in a game he could do no wrong, Brayden Ross (2/10) helped bowl Ashley all out for 82, winning by an incredible 200 runs.
