Prestwich CC

A week of appalling weather cleared enough for the traditionally 'big game' between Prestwich and Denton St Lawrence to be played in reasonable conditions. As can be seen, the pitch is very well grassed, and the outfield was painfully slow. Testing conditions produced an exciting game.

This fixture was always keenly contested in 'my day', and Saturday's encounter was no different, a high-quality match which DSL won by just seven runs.

A first test for my new lens, which I used hand-held.
