On a bright Saturday afternoon, Glossop CC 1st XI secured a commanding 9-wicket victory over Denton St Lawrence CC 1st XI.

Denton St Lawrence Innings: Struggles Against Glossop’s Bowlers
Denton St Lawrence’s batting lineup struggled to find any rhythm against a disciplined Glossop bowling attack. The innings got off to the worst possible start, with opener Kabeel Akram trapped LBW for a duck by Glossop's professional, Irosh Samarasooriya, on the very first ball of the match.
The lone bright spot in Denton’s innings was Dan Moriarty, who fought hard for his 53 runs, striking 6 fours and 2 sixes off 73 balls. However, Moriarty found little support from his teammates, as wickets tumbled around him.
Ninad Kadam added 12 runs before being caught off Samarasooriya, while Scott Kirwin and Mark Dillnutt managed just 2 and 4 runs, respectively. A direct run-out from Lee Dale saw the captain, Adam Hawley, depart for 1, and the middle-order collapse continued with lower-order batsmen offering little resistance.
James Eyre shone with the ball, taking 3 wickets for just 6 runs in 8 tight overs, including dismissing both Jody Clough and Kian Clough. Meanwhile, Samarasooriya picked up 4 wickets, finishing with figures of 4-27 in 9.2 overs, displaying his class. William Hargreaves also bowled a tight spell, picking up 1 wicket for 11 runs in 6 overs. The hosts were eventually bowled out for 104 in 34.2 overs.
Glossop’s Reply: A Confident Chase
Glossop’s reply was confident and clinical. Opener Andrew Cadd got the innings off to a brisk start, scoring 13 runs off 16 balls, but he was bowled by Ninad Kadam with the score at 25. From there, Lee Dale and Skipper Chris Gill took charge, guiding Glossop to victory with ease.
A resurgent Lee Dale (and now wicketkeeper-batsman) played a fantastic knock, remaining unbeaten on 51 from 55 balls, including 4 boundaries and 3 sixes. His aggressive approach put Denton St Lawrence’s bowlers under pressure from the outset. Chris Gill provided strong support, scoring 31 not out from 43 balls, with 3 boundaries and 1 six, as the duo comfortably chased down the target in just 18.5 overs.
The Denton St Lawrence bowlers struggled to contain Glossop’s batting lineup, with Scott Kirwin and Harvey Cliff going wicketless. Ninad Kadam managed to pick up the only wicket but was unable to stop Glossop from cruising to victory.
Glossop’s dominance was clear throughout the match, with their bowlers setting the tone by restricting Denton St Lawrence to a low total. Irosh Samarasooriya and James Eyre led the bowling attack with exceptional spells, while Lee Dale and Chris Gill ensured a smooth and comfortable chase. The victory earned Glossop 5 points, giving them further hope of maintaining their league standing into the 2025 season.
