QUICK bowler Rob Bannister fired a rip-roaring opener salvo to the new cricket season.

The Westleigh Methodists hero (pictured) ripped through the opposition - claiming all TEN wickets.

His astonishing feat of 10-39 set up a resounding 156-run victory against Bolton Road.

And later, in the clubhouse, he was the toast of both teams!

Earlier, Westleigh had set a tough target at 225-5.

"No problem," said Rob, who was watched by his mascot, 13-month-old son Jack at his first cricket match.

Some start!

Some bowling!
