Fernando takes centre stage to help Alsager end run of defeats

ALSAGER ended a run of six straight defeat to secure a surprise victory over Audley in NSSCL Premier A.

- Chris Travers

Audley had started the day joint-top of the table with Leek, but ended it in third after a three-wicket loss.

Alsager opened up the campaign with a first-day win at Meakins, although they then went on a miserable sequence of results.

But they ripped up the form book on Saturday to bank the points and even though they remain bottom, confidence will have soared in their ranks.
