CARNFOTH CC climbed to their customary position at the summit of the Westmorland League for the first time this season as they brushed away Westgate last Saturday. With Ryan Nelson absent, Chris Parry (51) took it upon himself to anchor the innings, uncharacteristically facing 120 balls in reaching 50 for the third time this season as Carnfoth eventually finished on 185/6.
