Openers James Stirling (25) and Chris Bellis (who went on to score 65) put on 55 for the first wicket. Chris remained there as they fell to 74 for 4 before he put on 35 for the fifth wicket with Daniel Kelly (23) 21 for the sixth wicket with Richie Forsyth (26). Huzaifa Zubair then scored 33 not out to enable Sefton to declare on 202 for 8 in 60 overs.
