Skip backs leaders Preston to recover after first bump in road
Lancashire Evening Post
|June 06, 2025
Preston captain Sajid Patel has backed his men to bounce back from their first real hiccup of the summer.
The West Cliff outfit blazed a trail in the opening weeks of the Moore and Smalley Palace Shield Premier Division season, winning their opening five league games.
That catapulted them to the top of the table, but last weekend their lead at the top was cut following a narrow loss to Fylde, who moved into third spot, at Moorland Road.
After half-centuries from the skipper himself and Imran Mehmood saw Preston post a competitive 213-9, the hosts edged home with just two wickets and two balls to spare.
