WYTHENSHAWE'S hopes of getting a winning run together for their Manchester Alliance promotion push were frustrated by a dogged Euxton side at Longley Lane.
Richard Robinson (68) and Craig McCoy (36) were the mainstays for the home team as they set their opponents a useful target of 186.
Euxton were not going to lie down lightly though and batted solidly as Colin Crowther (2-53), Aaron McCall (2-41) and Chris Bradley (2-37), shared the bulk of the wickets.
However, their efforts were not enough as Euxton batted out time to finish their allotted overs on 170-7.
Wythenshawe's second team had to work hard for a two-wicket win at Deane and Derby after bowling out the home team for 172.
Lewis Crowther (2-28), Martin Leonard (3-37), and Colin Pearce (3-16) were the three bowlers who did all the damage for the local side.
Lee Booth (36) and Crowther (32) then kept Wythenshawe in the hunt as wickets fell at regular intervals.
Pearce was the other batting mainstay with an innings of 23 as Wythenshawe crossed the finishing line with two wickets and three overs in hand.
