Big day for Audlem's cricketers

It's a big day today for Audlem's 1st XI cricket team – their game is a promotion decider at third-placed Kerridge. Audlem go into the final game top of the league, 12 points clear of Mossley and 20 points above Kerridge.

Mossley will be favourites to win their home encounter with eighth-placed Ellesmere Port. With a maximum 25 points available if a team bats first and wins (20 points for a win batting second), it means that if Audlem win at Kerridge they will be crowned Division 3 champions. If Audlem don't win, it will then be down to the number of bonus points gained. As long as they don't lose, or gain at least 6 points, they will be promoted and 13 points would make them champions.

The rules on gaining points are complex but all will be hoping that the weather isn't the deciding factor as in so many recent weeks.
