Morecambe 2nds are still in search of the their first victory of the season after the league new boys Penrith held out for a draw on Saturday.


Opting to bat first Morecambe started well with both Adam Derham and Dennison looking in good touch, The score reached 78 before Derham was caught for 28, Dennison soon followed for 48. With the innings back in the balance Pedder and Matthew Derham played sensibly against some tight bowling.  The middle overs produced just 32 runs off 14 overs, however whilst Pedder was presence at the crease there was always danger for the visitors. He began to lift the tempo to such extent that when Durham was bowled for 12 in the 39th over Pedder had progressed to 64. The final overs produced carnage as Pedder smashed 8 fours and 6 sixes on his way to 98. Morecambe finished on 208-5  with the last 13 overs producing over 100 runs.

In reply the Penrith innings never really gained any momentum or showed any great urgency in chasing down the Morecambe total. All the Morecambe bowlers enjoyed early success with Pedder, Qayyum and Maartens all taking wickets. Penrith youngster Travaskis impressed on his way making 18. Adam Derham chipped in with two wickets however the result was never really in doubt will the wicket offering very little assistance to the bowlers. Maartens took the late wicket of tormentor in chief Robbie White for 29 to secure an additional bonus point for Morecambe. Penrith finished on 122-6 although in truth the games was over well before the final
