'Paint it Pink' for Prevent Breast Cancer last weekend saw pink takeover all weekend. A fun weekend supporting a great cause! Props to Lily for running the stall selling cakes, bracelets, sweets and tattoos!

The 1st XI in action against Wilmslow at home on Saturday.

NCC 3rd XI against Maritime CC on Sunday.

Under 9s
NCC 290/2 vs Middewich CC 247/5
NCC 229/9 vs Bunbury CC 287/2
The Under 9s were at home against Middlewich on Monday to kick start a bumper week of cricket with a win! It was a good game full of strong batting, bowling, and catches across both teams! Games have come thick and fast, with a league game against Bunbury on Tuesday and a cup semi-final on Thursday against Davenham.

Under 11s
NCC 225 vs Middlewich 368/2

Under 13s
Middlewich CC 79/1 vs NCC 77/9
The under-13s were away at Middlewich, which we knew would be a tough game to play at the top of the league. Some individual batting performances shone through, and there are a few learnings to take from the game, which the lads will bring forward and improve. Onward and upwards, it will take a lot more to keep these lads down and on to the next one.

Northwich Novas
NCC Novas 269/5 vs Runcorn CC Women’s 1st XI 283/6
Alvanley CC 108/4 vs NCC Novas 128/4
The Northwich Novas fought a well-fought battle on Sunday, June 23rd, against Runcorn, unfortunately losing by 14 runs. It was a great game, with some strong fielding and bowling and a super team spirit! Well done, ladies! Then, on Wednesday evening, the Novas played a high-scoring game with a win against Alvanley! Some great batting and a positive attitude saw us overcome an impressive 308 from Alvanley. Well done, team!
