All the weekend action in NSSCL Premier B

Wood Lane spinner Richard Hassall took seven wickets to lead his side to the points at Elworth in NSSCL Premier B.

However, Hassall’s introduction into the attack instigated a big Elworth collapse.

Hassall took 7-32 as Elworth slumped to 113 all out.

Earlier in the day, Wood Lane reached 188-8 from their 45 overs, helped by Omar Ali’s half-century.
