The First XI travelled to St Helens to play Sutton (St Helens).
Sefton won the toss and decided to bat first.
They were soon in trouble as the first three wickets fell for just three runs before a stand of 48 between James Stirling (28) and Paul Horton (18). Both were out with the score on 51. Matt Young then added 15, Huzaifa Zubair hung around with the tail, also for 15, and Sefton were dismissed for 93 in 34 overs.
In reply, Huazifa took 2 for 33 in 10 overs but after Sutton lost 3 wickets for 50, no more fell as they passed the Sefton total in the 20th over.
Sefton now fall to seventh in the table with a visit from top of the table Spring View next week.
The Second XI welcomed old rivals Wallasey to Sefton Park.
The visitors won the toss and decided to bat first.
After losing their first wicket with just one on the board, they put on 108 for the second. They progressed steadily from that point but Sefton benefited with the introduction of spin. Ben Percival took 4 for 21 and Mark Chappell 2 for 54 before Wallasey declared on 206 for 8 in 41 overs.
Sefton's reply began well as Ben Percival and Luke Connelly put on 67 before Luke was dismissed for 21. Ben stayed there as he was helped by Shadab Khan who scored 16 in 11 balls and with 4 wickets down for 156, he found the ideal partner in Scott Aitchison who scored 26 not out in 20 balls. Ben finished with 115 not out as Sefton passed the Wallasey total in the 42nd over with 4 wickets down. Sefton now move up to second in the table.
The Third XI travelled to play Ormskirk where the home team won the toss and decided to bat first. Chris Salmon took 4 for 13, Ian Dawes 2 for 11, Jonah Duggan 2 for 30 and Ronan Brady 2 for 41.
In reply Jeremy Rogers scored 62 not out, Joe Clements 31 and Alex Woods 28 as Sefton won by 6 wickets in the 32nd over. The Third XI are now fifth but still well in touch with the leaders.
The Fourth XI missed out on a game for the third week running as Northop Hall conceded So it was 25 points to Sefton but they really just want to play again.
