With Divisions 1 and 2 concluding last weekend attention turned to Divisions 3 and 4 as the DCCL season concluded.
Division Three
Leaders Newton started the day 2 points ahead of 2nd placed Woodley. Having been dismissed by Stalybridge for 108 there must have been nerves. But a fine spell from Rhys Goodall in the Stalybridge reply saw them to a win which gave them the title by a single point after Woodley beat Broadbottom by 50 runs. At the bottom Hayfield and Chapel were relegated
- Hayfield 184-8 (Calum Ramsay 66) Chapel 185-4 (Mark Wagstaffe 116; Ted Bradley 45)
- Hazel Grove 120-9 (Karan Arora 43) Old Glossop 119-8 (Tom Lane 51)
- Stalybridge 48ao (Rhys Goodall 5-9) Newton 108ao (Kevin Dooley 4-42)
- Woodley 145ao (George Roberts 4-42) Broadbottom 95ao (Nick Courtney 53*)
Division Four
Tintwistle were already assured of the title but failed to end on a winning note after they went down by 5 wickets to 3rd placed Charlesworth. Hollingworth will join Tintwistle in Division 3 next year after a 4-wicket win at Pott Shrigley left them 6 points ahead of Charlesworth.
- Buxworth 177ao (Chris Breeze 42) New Mills 113ao
- Charlesworth 176-5 (Neil Gannon 45; Sam Gilham 45*) Tintwistle 171ao (Steve Morris 50; Dan Robinson 53; Toby Tanton 4-24)
- Pott Shrigley 133-7 Hollingworth 139-6
