Dave Makinson reacted in the best possible way to last week's narrow defeat at the hands of St Annes by defeating Kendal by five wickets.

Makinson junior steered his side home with just four balls to spare in partnership with James Rounding who finished 36 not out from 41 balls.
The pair came together with Leyland 123-5 chasing Kendal's 190.
