Two products of the Sileby Town Academy starred on their Premier League debuts

Off spinner Thomas Blay and seam bowler Chris Preston both had memorable days on their Premier League debuts in the Firsts win over the Langtons.

Blay picked up 4-32 while Preston struck the initial blow to finish with 1-25 to dismiss the visitors for 121 after winning the toss and opting to bat first.

There were also four wickets for Mr Consistency, Aaron Smith (4-35), as he and Blay combined to rattle through the Langtons middle order.

Sileby's shuffled order made heavy work of their reply until the experienced pair of skipper Dave Torr and Jake Gillett came together to get them to the cusp of victory - Torr finishing unbeaten on 39 with his side crossing the finishing line with three wickets in hand.

Also a mention for Danny Hill, who was also making his Premier League debut for the club. Congratulations to all three lads on their achievement.
