LANGLEY 1st XI's poor run continued at the weekend with their fourth defeat on the trot.

Langley batted first at home to Northwich and despite a 109 opening stand between Lloyd Sykes, 39, and Robin Smith, 76, Langley could muster only 177.

In reply, Northwich raced to 129-2 before the introduction of Steve Stanier saw the visitors reduced to 155-9. However, a last-wicket stand of 27 saw the visitors scramble home. Stanier 5-17 and Simon Patterson 3-26 bowled well. The result meant the 1st XI slipped to fourth place.

Langley 2nds had a mixed week. In the 20-20 cup they played Macclesfield 3rds. Langley posted 134-8 with Callum Heap 29 and Ricky Hughes 26. A strong Macclesfield side got home scoring 135-6. Heap, 3-19, completed a great night individually.
