Marple seconds made it 12 wins on the trot with a hard earned 12 run victory over lowly Alderley Edge seconds at the MHCG. However, this win was probably the most satisfying and pleasurable of the season so far.
After collapsing to 33 for 5, and looking at probable defeat, two of Marple’s exceptionally talented teenagers, Dylan Hodgson and Joe Bradley seen below added an incredible 211, unbroken, for the sixth wicket. Both hit undefeated centuries, Dylan 106* (including 11 4s) and Joe 100* (including 8 4s). Marple ending on 244 from their 50 overs.
This was pure joy for the Marple team, and also the watching spectators who were entertained by some superb strokeplay.
Credit to the two youngsters as Marple took to the field with Dylan opening the bowling with a 4 over spell for 18, and Joe involved for the whole game taking 3 catches behind the stumps.
