County cup victory for Preston
9:28am Wednesday 14th May 2008
Preston defeated Central Lancashire League team Unsworth at West Cliff in the Lancashire Cup on Sunday.
The home side made 209 in 44.2 overs with Munaf Bavla (43), Jonathan McDonald (45) and stand-in skipper Bilal Asad (33) the main contributors.
In a rain-affected game Unsworth closed on 46 for 6 in 15.2 overs, pro Bilal Asad taking two for eight.
There was no joy for last season's Palace Shield winners Vernon Carus who were well beaten by Morecambe.
Vernons were 50 for 8 off 25 overs when the rain came with Tommy Clough (3-9), Graham Lee (2-9) and Gareth Pedder (2-9) giving little respite to After a three-hour rain delay Morecambe were given the task of scoring 24 off 12 overs, without losing more than three wickets.
The visitors only needed 10 balls to reach the total.
