His knock of 51 off 23 balls included six sixes and two fours - a destructive display of hitting to force a morale boosting win at Didsbury, including a TCC record over with Ed amassing 40 off the final over consisting of just five legal deliveries.

The first team captain was back in form at just the right time against the league leaders, who are now only leading TCC at the top of the table by just 11 points.

With a delayed start Didsbury were restricted to 40 overs for their batting innings, and a fired up Timperley were right on it in the field.

Modest Galley didn't want to comment about his match winning impact preferring to let the scorebook do the talking.

He said: "Jonathan Fowler and Chris Page skittled through the Didsbury top order backed up in the field with a run out from Joe Ashmore and a screamer in the slips from Nathan Brown."

"After being 60-7, Didsbury then battled back to 150 leaving Timperley 24 overs to chase it down. After reaching the winning draw target of 111 with three overs to go and six down, Timperley in effect had a free hit to go for the win in the final three overs."

The milestone triumph perfectly sets the inform team up for the home clash against third place Hyde at home on Saturday

Meanwhile yet again the struggling second team lost to stay rooted at the bottom of the table.

Didsbury seconds set a target of 180 in the rain affected game at Stockport Road with 16 year old Jamie Spencer the pick of the home bowlers with three wickets for 20.

But then there was a total batting collapse with Timperley skittled out for a pathetic 59 with six players picking up ducks

Angry skipper Shahnawaz Khan praised Spencer but slammed the quality of the fielding with seven chances dropped together with the "usual story of very poor batting."

With both the 3s and 4s washed out on Saturday, the 1st XI provided a bright spark on what would otherwise have been a damp squib of a day.
