DAVE KENNEDY insists that Northop Hall are not getting carried away ahead of their top of the table clash with Caldy.

Hall current top Division Two of the Liverpool Competition with close to half of the season completed, tomorrow's hosts Caldy a place and eight points worse off.

But with 12 games still remaining, captain Kennedy knows that there is plenty more cricket to be played, saying: "We are top of the league but no-one is getting carried away.

"We do want to win it, I've said that already, but we've got no professional to run through a team or score us big runs, so it has got to be a team effort every week.

"It's been a team effort to get us this far and we've got to continue that now, starting in a top of the table clash with Caldy."

On the threat posed by Caldy, Kennedy continued: "They are a good outfit. They've got Haroon who tries to whack it, and he comes off around 50 per cent of the time in this league.

"But they don't just rely on him, they've got a good bowling attack and some good batsmen as well."

Asked about the need for victory, Kennedy added: "It will be a good game. If we can't win it, we need to make sure we don't lose it.

"Sutton, who are third, are not too far away, but we will be going to win with the team we've got.

"We will try to keep playing good cricket and if we can't get the win we want then it won't be for the want of trying."
