The hosts were 90 for one after nine overs but Joe Gale, carrying a side strain and bowling spin, took five for 16 to limit Werneth to 147 for nine off 20 overs.

Ex-first team skipper Chris Dewhirst made 39 not out and pro Umesh Karunaratne 53 not out as Walsden won with 13 balls to spare.

Dewhirst was completing a good game, having taken two for 27 off four overs and pouched a fine catch off Gale’s bowling.
