However, Read passed the target with three wickets down as Joey Marshall added 66 to Jamal’s century.

Padiham recruited Lancashire all-rounder Oliver Newby for their game at Ramsbottom Cup winners Ribblesdale Wanderers, and the former Read man claimed six home wickets for 37 from 16 overs.

However, Wanderers defended their target of 111 as prolific Ian Britcliffe returned figures of 7-65 from 16 overs to earn his team a 17-run victory.

Saturday’s games were washed out.

Read were 95-3 against Baxenden, while there was no play in Padiham’s trip to Settle.

This weekend, Read host Edenfield on Saturday and travel to the Arbories for the derby with Padiham on Sunday. Padiham are at Salesbury on Saturday.
