GRESFORD (16) 167-9 dec CORWEN (9) 130-9

NORTH WALES LEAGUE DIVISION ONE

LAST wicket pair Llyr Jones and Carl Green batted out the final eight overs to secure Corwen a draw which ended their losing streak.

Gresford were pegged back after a rousing start to 167 for nine declared, Alex Elwood hitting 46 and Gareth Rowlands 34. Best Corwen bowlers were Will Roberts (four for 51) and Llyr Jones (three for 50).

The visiting reply began well, Kevin Sharp and Colin Nicoll concocting a 36 stand before the latter departed for 11.

Corwen moved on to 84 for one and were sitting pretty but when Sharp (43) and skipper Matthew Duckworth (39) went the picture changed.

In the end the Edeyrnion men were happy to cling on for a losing draw at 130 for nine, jolting a run of four straight defeats.
