Hot Currie too much for Chester
Chester Boughton Hall 229-9, Alderley Edge 232-2. Alderley Edge won by 8 wickets Scoresheet
Mark Currie's faultless 129 not out contributed to Chester's 8 wicket home defeat to Alderley Edge despite Warren Goodwin's 76. Chester also slipped out of the Cheshire Cup after a battling display at Bowdon where a one-legged Matt Griffiths (left) hit 79 in game that finished after 9.00pm Scoresheet . Cruel defeat too in the Fred Graham 20/20 League Cup as Chester tied with Oulton Park on 160 each but went out due to losing one more wicket.
A bleak weekend all round as the 2nds,3rds and 4ths also all lost. Match Reports

Beer Festival Success!
A great time was had by all at Chester Boughton Hall's first Beer Festival held over Easter in the grand marquee.
With six sessions in all from Thursday to Saturday, numbers were good and the atmosphere excellent. With live music at each session, drinkers sampled a wide range of ales from across the UK whilst others supped wine and bottled lager.
As the old Spring Zing, Spitting Feathers and Ginger Tosser were supped, the party and dancing went on.
A particular thank you to the ladies of Chester Hockey Club who put in a full day shift on the Friday and led the dancing until close of play. Hang-overs all round on Saturday!
Great music too with the likes of Reckless Elbow on stage. Well done to the hard working team of organisers, many thanks too to those who sponsored barrels and here's to 2010!
