Mount trio going from strength to strength

Greenmount’s triple promotion dream stayed on track as all three senior sides registered wins again at the weekend.

The first team entertained bottom club East Lancashire on Saturday and ran out convincing nine-wicket winners.

Jacques Snyman… 90 not out and four wickets

Skipper Travis Townsend won the toss and elected to field – a decision that was fully justified as the Blackburn club were dismissed for 110 all out.

Professional Jacques Snyman took four wickets; Noah Birtwistle three while there was two for Townsend and one for Ishy Patel.

The Mount reply was dominated by Snyman who blasted a terrific unbeaten 90 that included eight fours and seven sixes.

The target was reached in 11.2 overs for the loss of only one wicket.

The second eleven, meanwhile, made the trip to East Lancashire and continued their rich vein of form with a one-wicket triumph.

Ryan Senior

Leading the way with the ball was Rion Dalugoda with three wickets; Ryan Senior and Ben Clarke had two apiece with one each for father and son duo Jake and Liam Riley.

It was a close call in the Mount response despite a good 46 from Ryan Senior.

A five-wicket collapse for only 17 runs took the villagers from 149 for 5 to 166 for 9 before skipper Dixon (10 not out) and Jack Hallows (2 not out) saw their side home in the 42nd over.

Another fine victory for the third team leaves them sitting pretty at the top of their division, perilously close to promotion.

Mark Crowther

On Sunday their entertained Norden at the Log Cabin and won by 80 runs.

Norden won the toss and elected to field and gave the home side something to think about by dismissing both Noah Birtwistle and Wes Young with the score on zero.

Nevertheless a superb innings of 83 from Tom Clarke with good contributions from skipper Mark Crowther (39) and Liam Riley (25 not out) saw the Mount reach 202 for 9 from their allotted 40 overs.

Norden fell well short of what was required in the chase, finishing on 122 for 8 at the close of play.

In the wickets for Greenmount were Liam and Jake Riley with three apiece with one each for Adam Clarke and Harry Nuttall.
