Chapel 1st XI kicked off their first ever campaign in Division 2 with a trip to Hollingworth. Skipper Martin Cooper inserted the hosts on a lively track and his decision was vindicated when Hollingworth were all out for 117 despite 58 from Alex Halliday. Lee Bradley took 4-55 and Neil Pheasey an economical spell of 3-9. The innings was overshadowed by an injury to Garry Pheasey who faces a long-term spell on the sidelines following a horrific groin tear. In reply the Chapel batsmen struggled against the accuracy of C.Leech who took 6-23. Chapel will look to improve on their 63 all out when they again travel to Hollingworth in the cup on Sunday 11th May.
After a triumphant 2007 an inexperienced Chapel 2nd XI hosted Romiley on the opening day. The young side failed to handle the impressive duo of N. Fitton (5-17) and D. Taylor (5-8) who took advantage of a damp, early season wicket to skittle Chapel for just 38. Romiley made no mistake in reply, knocking off the runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Chapel travel to Hayfield on Saturday, followed by a home tie against Hollingworth on Sunday in the Hawke Trophy.
