After a 4.30pm finish the previous week, this Poynton demolition job was over even earlier in the day.

Alsager, who have resigned from next season's league, looked like a side with nothing to play for.

This win takes Poynton to fourth in the table - they still believe they can win promotion to the Premier Division.

Antonio Mayers struck in the first over and, although Tom Blackwood hit 15 of the first 19 runs, wickets fell with alarming regularity.

With the score on 19, four more wickets fell, including a triple wicket maiden to Simon Turner, who was swinging the ball prodigiously.

It was a similar story for the rest of the innings as five batsmen failed to trouble the scorers, and Poynton's accuracy saw the stumps hit numerous times.

Alsager lasted only 23.4 overs, with Simon Turner bagging fantastic figures of seven for 14, the club's best return of the season.

Mayers, with three for 17, was the only other bowler used, and this opening pair plus Jamie Maltman now have a combined total of 100 wickets for the season.

Within 6.4 overs and 23 minutes of the reply, fine strokes from Paul Gould and Damian Stringer had completed the day's work.
