The First XI travelled to Wigan where the home side won the toss and decided to bat first .
They batted steadily and with a stand of 115 for the fourth wicket went on to declare on 221 for 5 in 55 overs. Kemar Smith finished with 3 for 62
This looked to be a hard task for Sefton's fragile batting and so it proved to be. After losing opener Rob Supria without a run on the board, they put on 28 for the second wicket in the best stand of the innings between Ben Percival (21) and Tom Heard (5). Kemar Smith was the side's top scorer with 25 but they were eventually dismissed for 108 in 47.1 overs.
A special mention for fourteen year old wicketkeeper James Stirling who made his league debut and claimed a stumping and scored 8 runs in 53 balls.
