CHESHIRE LEAGUE - DAMIAN LEWIS will be aiming to extend his impressive form for Tattenhall tomorrow.
The Trinidadian-born bowler claimed figures of 6 for 54 off 15 overs to secure Tattenhall 25 points and victory last weekend against high-flying Irby in Division Two of the Cheshire County League.
Lewis will be part of a Tattenhall team who are targeting another positive result tomorrow at home to Middlewich.
Club skipper Rob Mulvihill said: "Damian's performance last weekend was the best I have seen him play so far this season.
"As an overseas player you expect him to blow the opposition apart and he did, but we also played well as a team.
"Ben Cooke, a 17-year-old from the second team was called up to the first team last weekend and played at number three and looked the real deal."
Tattenhall make just one change from last weekend, with Barry Mitchell coming in for Richard Sadler.
Mulvihill said: "We're now looking for consistency and more 25-point wins after reaching the halfway point in the season.
"Middlewich are a strong side and I'm sure they will provide us with one of the most competitive games we'll face this season."
ALVANLEY travel to Congleton on the back of a last gasp victory against Cholmondeley last weekend in the Cheshire League Division One.
Pete Pearce will be planning to maintain his form in the bowling attack alongside James Wheelahan as Alvanley hope to improve their fifth position in the league table.
CHESTER COUNTY OFFICERS travel to Barnton for their Division Two match.
Spinner Mike Pownall was the pick of the Officers bowlers with 4-19 in eight overs and top scored with 51 runs in Officers' drawn match against Northwich which also featured Graham Wilks picking up two late wickets for 39.
BARROW play host to league leaders Northwich tomorrow after being held to a draw by Winsford last weekend, although they did pick up 25 points from the contest.
SAUGHALL will be aiming to continue their good form in a Cheshire Alliance League Division Two home match against Rostherne.
Dipak Jena starred for Saughall in last weekend's thrilling final over victory against Ellesmere Port, claiming 5 for 69.
Club captain, Chris Andrews said: "Rostherne beat us on the opening weekend so we'll be trying to avenge that defeat.
"We're currently fourth in the league table and we're definitely in the hunt for one of the top two places."
Saughall make two changes for tomorrow's match with Ben Salisbury and Les Perkins replacing Martin Huxley and Pete Tunnicliffe who are both unavailable.
