TITLE WINNERS Baxenden with the Ribblesdale League Cup Pic: KIPAX

Cherry Tree’s Joe Bolton smashed his way to the fastest 50 of the Ribblesdale League season as final day fireworks lit up the programme.

Bolton was quite simply awesome in the game at Preston Old Road to leave Padiham shell shocked at the assault.

Bolton didn’t bat until number eight and Padiham were in the box seat after reducing Cherry Tree to 115-6 – but he had his own agenda and teed off in style.

Bolton smashed his way to 84 not out from just 35 balls as he hit eight fours and seven sixes in a bar emptying blast.

Padiham pro Chris Holt was the man to suffer the most in the bar emptying assault as his final day figures were wrecked.

After 20 overs Holt had figures of 3-50 – but when he completed his stint at the end of the innings, his record read 23 overs 3-115.

Cherry Tree’s score turned from the modest to the massive as a result and their 220-7 was challenging on a wicket that was only prepared on Friday night after the week of rain.

It seemed akin to climbing Mount Everest in open-toed sandals when Holt’s horrible day ended with him getting a first baller and as Greg Jones claimed 6-29 Padiham subsided to 46 all out in just 15 overs.

Champions Baxenden saw their game at Settle abandoned and it was a similar story at The Cliffe as the Great Harwood v Barnoldswick game was also a casualty.

Settles five points from the abandonment saw them avoid the wooden spoon as Salesbury slipped to the bottom after being beaten at Ribchester Road by Ribblesdale Wanderers, Wanderers skipper Ian Britcliffe claiming seven wickets in the win.

Read ensured second spot thanks to a big 218-run win over Oswldtwistle Immanuel as Joe Marshall and Warren Eastham hit half centuries at Whalley Road, while there was personal pain for Whalley pro Kamran Younas in the win over Earby.

Younas claimed 3-76 as Earby were 152-7 - but that left him stuck on 99 league wickets for the season and despite his best efforts he couldn’t claim the magical three figures.

He made up for that, however, with 76 as Whalley dashed to a win.

And Clitheroe pro Kashif Siddique was at his brutal best as his men crushed Edenfield at Gincroft Lane.

Siddique clattered 174 as Clitheroe posted 276-8 in a huge win.
