KINGSLEY'S bid for three wins in a row was shattered at Chelford by an inspired performance from the hosts' Australian skipper Weston in the Cheshire Building Society Cheshire Alliance's Division One.

In glorious sunshine but on a wicket still suffering the effects of midweek downpours, Neil Rowlands (58) and Mark Butcher (42) shared in a century stand for Kingsley after the early departure of both openers.

Kieron Ollier made 30 before he and the tail succumbed to Weston (4-54) and Spanton (3-32).

Kingsley narrowly missed out on maximum batting points after limping to 173.

Chelford, with relegation virtually guaranteed, played with a carefree spirit until Alderman (3-30) entered the attack to remove Sheills (41) and the rest of the top order.

But Weston played a masterful innings of 71no to see his young side home by four wickets with five overs to spare. Frodsham were beaten by nine wickets at Wistaston in Division Two.

Scores: Frodsham 70ao (G Houghton 30, J Hogburn 5-9), Wistaston 71-1.
