Whitehaven suffered a devastating collapse in their catch-up game with Millom and remain deep in relegation trouble.
The Cumbria League Premier Division game had been called off last week because of coronavirus in the Millom club.
Whitehaven had been set a challenging total as Millom made 235-6 in their 50 overs, led by professional Primosh Perera who was 119 not out. The hosts hadn’t helped their cause by sending down 29 wides among 39 extras.
Although an imposing target Whitehaven were going well after initially losing Charlie Minshaw on 12 as Steve Holliday (56) and pro Terence Warde (36) took them to 94-1 from 17 overs. But in 12 overs they lost nine wickets for the addition of only 26 runs to lose by 115 runs.
Declan Tyson finished with the remarkable figures of 6.2-2-7-6 while Perera took 3-17.
The defeat leaves Whitehaven on 48 points just one ahead of bottom side Lindal Moor who have their own catch-up game at Cockermouth to play on Sunday, September 5.
