Blackpool Come Back Kings

Morecambe 2nds 98 ao (3pts) v Blackpool 130 ao (15pts)

Blackpool batted first after winning the toss and got off to a nightmare start, Ullah and Shah had the visitors 3 for 3, with Jake Smith and Qayyum weighing in this soon became 18-6. Some poor catching enabled Blackpool to escape with a partnership of 80 by Dave Pile 57 no and Joel Watson 45. They enabled them to the unlikely score of 130 all out. Morecambe highlights from the bowling perspective being Izhar Ullah 2-13 from 11 overs and Uzair Shah 2-25 from 10 overs.

In reply, after a bright start Morecambe lost the first wicket at 23 with Fisher falling of the bowling of Sam Owen. This triggered a woeful collapse which saw the Blackpool skipper capture 5-11 including 3 wickets in 4 balls. The home side through in two run outs for good measure. The only resistance was provided by Matt Derham who batting at four batted through the rest of the innings for 32 not out as the home were skittled for 98
