FRUSTRATING WEEKEND FOR PRESTWICH

Monday April 23rd 2012 | Cricket

THE only game Prestwich played last weekend was one of “frustration”.

The reigning league champions had been hoping to kick off their defence of the Lees Lancashire County title with a bang.

But the only strokes on show would have been the breaststroke or backstroke.

The Heys ground was waterlogged last Saturday for the visit of Flowery Field while it was the same outcome when the first team travelled to Denton West on Sunday.

The second team also failed to bowl a ball.

Prestwich 1st team hope to make a belated start to their league season on Saturday at home to Denton, whose professional Michael Swart plays for Holland.
