Report : On a day when the weather was always going to play a big factor after the recent rainfall, the Association won the toss and decided to bat on a damp wicket. They were in early trouble with some tight bowling from Fearick and Nisar. The Association batsmen appeared very tentative and after two unnecessary run-outs the game seemed to drift away. After a succession of wickets and another fine spell of bowling by Tim Barrow, the Association could only manage a very moderate total. It was not all easy for the Bolton league on a deteriating wicket, but Adil Nisar , the on form Tonge professional steered the Bolton League to an easy victory after some excellent bowling from opposition professionals Bundela & Mahmood.
