An under-strength South Manchester just failed to overhaul West Didsbury in a close fought encounter in the Greater Manchester Amateur League.

West Didsbury won the toss and elected to bat on a green pitch at Scholes Fields. They started steadily but the openers soon fell to David Cohen and Jonathan Lieberman. That brought captain Yousuf Saleem to the crease and he took the South bowling apart, dispatching the ball to all parts of the ground.

Other batsmen came and went as wickets fell steadily around him, but Saleem was last out having hit 101.

There were three wickets apiece for David Cohen, Jonathan Lieberman and Shaya Rabinovitz and one for debutant Josh Oehley as West Didsbury were dismissed for 226.
