Locke targets the title

EAST PRESTON Cricket Club need 12 points from their match at home to Chippingdale on Saturday to be promoted into Division 3.

Captain Simon Locke wants his side to win the game, though, and try to finish top of the table. They trail Wisborough Green, who play fellow promotion-chasers Southwater, by one point.

Locke said: "It's forecast for quite a lot of rain to be around but we want to play and try to win the league. We've thrown away a couple of games recently so we could have had it all wrapped up already.

"It's going to be a tense day on Saturday but we've got available our strongest side for a while. Whether we bat or bowl first, I think we've got the team to get the job done."
