Michael Row (31) and Mark Ewing (34) they put on 73 for the second wicket. Runs then became hard to get, Huzaifa Zubair scoring 22 as Sefton were all out for 182 in the 45th over
Liverpool's innings was dominated by former Sefton Park junior Jared Clein who scored 91 not out in 100 balls after taking 5 wickets for 19. Liverpool's runs came steadily but with the score on 261 for 9, Sefton must have been favourites, however man of the match Clein steered them to a one wicket victory in 41.2 overs.
The Second XI entertained Liverpool at Sefton Park. Liverpool won the toss and asked Sefton to bat first. Tom Heard (28) and Harry Wright (16) gave them a solid start, Greg Harvey (18) and Phil Birch (18) added to the score but they were probably a little disappointed to finish on 174 for 7 in 45 overs)
