There was no separating Poynton and Stockport as both sides were bowled out for 152.

There were dramatic scenes at the end of Poynton’s run chase, when captain Jimmy Williams and his 13-year-old son Chris came together for the 10th wicket with 40 runs still required.

The father-and-son team steadily drew Poynton closer, but Stockport will be left to rue two dropped catches.

The second of these was a chance to the slip fielder which landed on a fielding helmet once it had passed through his hands, giving five penalty runs to Poynton.

The senior Williams then very nearly hit the winning runs, but his hit bounced inches short of the boundary, meaning the scores were tied, and he fell leg before next ball.
