The modest 15 year old Altrincham Grammar School pupil returned figures of three for 44 off ten overs against Lindow.

But even with the spin skills of county level Dash, the team toiled to halt the run charge with the visitors amassing a near record 350.

Dash picking up wickets for the first time this season, was one of the few positives with the firsts losing by 71 runs.

Skipper Ed Galley who praised "outstanding" Dash along with Aussie Dan Scholz who notched 73, pointed out that catches can lose games...as well as win them.

He said:

"We were comfortably beaten and didn’t help ourselves with numerous dropped catches and misfields, which helped Lindow catapult themselves to their huge total. Our standout bowler was left arm spinner Dash."

"We got off to a flying start in the chase with Freddie Vaughan-Hawkins and Scholz well above the rate to give ourselves a chance. Once Fred was out we still kept up with the required rate with some good positive batting, but unfortunately lost regular wickets leaving too much for the lower order to do. Scholz continued his good form top scoring with 73."

Galley added: "In truth it was the fielding that let the side down, and we should have been chasing a lot less with some held catches."

If that was bad the Timperley second team was worse having not won so far this season...going down by 177 runs at Lindow on Saturday.

They were hammered out of sight with the home side notching 298 for seven with five wickets for pace bowler Gyan Shanker.

The thirds however prevented another miserable all lose clean sweep for Timperley putting Northwich second eleven to the sword winning by six wickets having got the visitors all out for 91.
