Orrell Red Triangle earned their first ECB Premier Division victory of 2022 with a professional four-wicket win over Newton-le-Willows.
What it lacked in fireworks, it made up for in efficiency - the three bowlers used shared all 10 visiting wickets, before the batters overcame an early wobble to ease home with room to spare.
Central to the action was home skipper Sam Heeley. As he put it, “everything just came together” - in this case a tireless spell of 17 overs, broken only by a change of ends, which yielded 3/42, followed by an unbeaten 39 to see his side home.
