Middleton beat Oldham at Towncroft on Sunday, with Rashid Hussain taking the captaincy reins for the fifth season at the Pollards.
Rashid's motto is that he and his team will always give it their best shot and this they did.
Batting first the Middleton bowlers restricted Oldham to 45 with the wickets spread.
The winning runs were hit for the loss of two wickets and it was good to see youngsters Le Carpentier and Callaghan getting a run out in the first team.
A Middleton spokesman said: "It was the final visit to Towncroft by Oldham, rivals and friends for over 100 years as founders of the Central Lancashire League, and we wish them all the best for the future in whatever league they end up playing."
