BRILLIANT Darwen claimed the derby day bragging rights as they coasted to a big Northern League win over neighbours Chorley on Bank Holiday Monday.

Darwen’s talented teenager Kamran Anwar reached the milestone of 50 wickets for the first time as Chorley collapsed to 49 all out in reply to Darwen’s 200.

Anwar took 2-15 off seven overs but was eclipsed by cup final hero Neil Cordingley who collected 5-25 with Chris Wade weighing in with 2-5.

Earlier, Darwen’s in-form skipper John Cordingley top-scored with 50 and his side posted their 200 total. Chris Clarke weighed in with 38 and Anwar clattered 34 from just 25 balls.

Chorley had the services of Norden’s South African professional Michael Price as sub-pro.

Price went into the game with on the back of a prolific season for his club having taken 65 wickets and scored 1,412 runs but was caught behind off Anwar for a duck after taking 3-72.
