GRAPPENHALL crashed to a six wicket defeat at Alderley Edge after failing to set a competitive total.
They struggled to 153 all out with seven overs still left to play with only Kiwi Tom MacRury, 44 and Albert Pennington, 35, contributing anything of note.
Grappers applied some pressure, claiming three wickets within a couple of overs, but the strong home batting line-up then took control and coasted home with six wickets intact and plenty of overs to spare.
Grappenhall 2nd also lost in a low score game against Stockport Georgians at Broad Lane.
They were bowled out for 131 with Dan Adkins, 32 and Stan Pennington, 20, the only batsmen to really contribute.
Stockport were struggling at 32-2 at one stage but even cruised home with five wickets to spare and 20 overs remaining.
It was left to the 3rd XI to salvage anything for Grappenhall.

But the home side were rolled-over for 73, with Omar Arif and Jac Judge taking three wickets each.
