The First XI welcomed local rivals Liverpool to Sefton Park, The visitors having won four out of four so far this season.
Sefton won the toss and asked Liverpool to bat first. They made a good start, putting on 40 for the first wicket and then another 22 for the second. After reaching 87 for 3 and looking set for a good score, wickets began to fall particularly as Leo Spilsbury was brought into the attack to support Jimmy Dixon who bowled the first 21 overs unchanged.
Liverpool were eventually bowled out for 160 in 43.4 overs. Jimmy Dixon finished with 5 for 83 and Leo Spilsbury 4 for 16 in 7 overs.
Sefton's reply did not begin well and they lost the first four wickets for 34 runs. Daniel Kelly then joined Ben Percival in the middle and together they put on 107 for the fifth wicket, both being out with the score on 141. Ben Percival scored 79 and Dan Kelly 42. This left a nervous 20 runs to be scored but Leo Spilsbury (10 not out) and Ayan Madhu (8 not out) saw them home and a three wicket victory.
