Weekend of woe as Delph crash

Andrew Gleave

DRAKES Huddersfield League champions Delph are going through something of a wobble after they lost both their weekend matches.

Yesterday their hold on the Sykes Cup slipped after they went down to this season's big Premiership rivals Hoylandswaine.

Andrew Gleave's side lost by 52 runs despite a valiant 67 not out from Luke Hargreaves.

RACKED UP

On Saturday Delph were beaten in the Premiership for the second week on the spin.

Gleave's men racked up 219 all out as they took first knock, with Mosun Hussain the undoubted star as he cracked a brilliant 132.

However, it wasn't enough as Broad Oak sneaked home with just one wicket to spare.

That was despite Shakir Muhammad's four-wicket haul.

WOODHOUSES sunk to defeat in their Greater Manchester League Division One clash against Flowery Field.
