It was always going to be a big ask for Torrisholme to reach their target and they fell well short, being bowled out for 150.

Opener Jack Heap (42) got Torrisholme off to a good start before being caught by Sam Marsh off Lee Childs (4-45), while Aaron Tinker (19), Bryson Little (25), Rhaul Gupta (21) and Neil Jordan (11) also reached double figures.

However, the rest of the order failed to offer any real support as Croston picked up 12 points in what was a comprehensive victory.

Callum Mcilveen (4-38), Jonathan Driver (1-43) and Jack Marsh (1-20) all impressed with the ball for Croston.
