Fourteen-year-old Hrithvik Prakash made Timperley Cricket Club history by scoring 110 for the second team, including 15 fours, although Timperley lost to Brooklands after its total of 270 was chased with four balls remaining. Joe Clark took 4-48, but captain Shahnawaz Khan said six dropped catches cost Timperley victory. In another defeat, 18-year-old Zach Thompson scored 127 for Timperley's first team against Alderley Edge, supported by Ed Galley's 71, as Timperley reached 297. Alderley Edge won with an over to spare, with Galley criticising Timperley's wides and extras while praising Thompson and teenage bowler Aryan Dash.

Matt Wardle’s unbeaten 98, including 11 fours, helped Timperley Cricket Club’s second team defeat Cheadle and return to winning ways. Cheadle scored 248-8 after Shahnawaz Khan took 3-49, but Wardle’s innings secured the result for Timperley. The club’s first team suffered another narrow defeat at Cheadle despite Zach Thompson’s 74 and Chris Page’s four wickets. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Ishaan Godhamgaonkar became the youngest Timperley member selected for the prestigious Bunbury Festival after representing the North of England.

Felix Birtles scored an unbeaten 136 for Timperley Cricket Club's third XI, helping them post 313 and defeat Oulton Park after being dropped from the second team. Timperley's second XI beat Nantwich's second string by 14 runs, while the first XI lost to Nantwich by 102 runs after dropped catches and misfields proved costly. Captain Ed Galley said the team had competed well against strong opponents but lacked the finishing edge to secure results.

Seventeen-year-old spinner Zaki Khalid delivered a standout four-wicket performance for Timperley’s second XI, helping restrict Neston to 188, though the team ultimately fell two runs short in their chase. Khalid’s diverse background and off-field clothing business were noted as part of his rising profile. Timperley’s first team secured a winning draw against Chester Broughton Hall, with Jonathan Fowler’s unbeaten 71 and strong opening bowling from Aryan Dash and Chris Page contributing to a solid mid-season league position.
