Club record goes as Eckington piled on the runs against Derbyshire Cricket League rivals
Overseas ace Kabelo Sekhukhune struck a fine unbeaten 167 in a club record unbeaten partnership as Eckington notched an important win in the Derbyshire Cricket League.
The South African hit 65 off 17 balls after getting his hundred (102 off 91) as his team got the better of fellow Premier Division strugglers Alrewas.
And he had brilliant support from James Barwise, who finished with him unbeaten on 97 in a history-making partnership of 257 and a final tally of 352-3.
Eckington, with home advantage, had been invited to bat and their total included 127 runs off the final seven overs.
Alrewas were bowled out for 230 in reply, home-grown talent Jake Ludlam leading the charge with a superb hat-trick among his 4-46.
The win opened up a gap of 12 points over Alrewas at the bottom.
Eckington will hope to continue the good work away to mid-table Ticknall on Saturday.
