Birkenhead Park began the afternoon paying tribute to a teammate - they ended it by doing him proud with a stunning win over Northern.
On the near-anniversary of the death of opening batter Josh Downie, who collapsed during nets aged just 24 last year, Park earned their first win of the season in the ECB Premier Division.
“There was definitely an emotional atmosphere out there,” said captain Tom Foster after his side’s six-wicket triumph on a glorious sunny afternoon.
