AMAZING SMILE NORTH LINDSEY LEAGUE ROUND-UP OF MAY 12 GAMES
WEEKEND PREVIEW BY GLEN SANDS
The newly inaugurated Amazing Smile KO Cup takes centre stage on Sunday with seven first round ties scheduled to be played. There is an all First Division clash at Caistor where Hibaldstow are their opponents whilst Scunthorpe Town might anticipate a tough match against Second Division Haxey. The same applies to Barton Academy Vikins who entertain another Second Division side in Messingham and it is likely to be a hard fought affair at Alkborough who take on Third Division Cleethorpes. Blyth CC , another Division Three side , make the long trip to Division One side Broughton and League One leaders Grimsby Town make the relatively short trip to South Kelsey. Finally there is a much anticipated Isle of Axholme derby at Hirst Priory where Outcasts will be out to put one over on their near neighbours Luddington. There is also one Amazing Smile NLL Division Three game at Everton who play hosts to Misterton who will be looking to start their 2013 Sunday League campaign with a good performance.

ROUND-UP OF LAST SUNDAY'S ACTION
Only two of the nine scheduled Amazing Smile North Lindsey League games were played to a conclusion on May 12th due to the rain which swept across the county but both produced some great entertainment and one outstanding performance by a seasoned Isle of Axholme cricketer.
DIVISION ONE
Grimsby Town have made a terrific start to the new season by winning both of their opening games , the latest coming by a margin of just four runs at Broughton where Ross Carnelley top scored with 35 and Steve Crossley 31 as Grimsby posted a total of 125 all out , Tom Brock taking 4 for 16 for the home side who replied with 121 all out thanks chiefly to Shaun Clark who hit 31 and Tom Reed's 30 , Brendan Volley picking up 5 for 16 to help his team to a narrow win. Elsewhere Harry Boulton had raced to 42 not out as Caistor Cougars reached 57 without loss against Appleby Frodingham only for the rain to intervene and the Hibaldstow v Scunthorpe Town match never even started before being postponed by the umpires.
DIVISION TWO
Andy Lawson took centre stage as Division Three Champions began life in Division Two with a 12 run victory at Messingham. Home skipper Danny Rands and his opposite number Gareth Parkin were keen to play despite the inclement weather and with the agreement of umpires Steve Dixon and Lee Stothard they got underway just fifteen minutes after the scheduled start with Luddington taking first knock and it was that man Lawson with an awesome display of batting that saw him make 128 in just 74 deliveries with sixteen 4's and seven sixes who guided the Isle side to 214 for 7 , Oliver Saxon offering him late assistance with 18 not out , but Messingham almost found a hero of their own as Nick White blasted 72 not out late in their reply as they made 202 for 9 , New Zealand youngster Cole Briggs hitting 49 and Danny Rands 45 as they made Luddington fight all the way. Alkborough had reached 87 for 3 at Barton before their game was abandoned , Dave Kilgallon having scored 33 and Tom Palin having picked up a couple of wickets whilst the Isle derby at Hirst Priory was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
DIVISION THREE
It would appear that Cleethorpes are set to make a determined effort in their quest to climb back up the Lindsey League ladder and they made a statement when blasting 199 for 1 against Blyth CC before the rain arrived at Chichester Road , Mike Chamberlain scoring 85 not out and Stuart Wood 79 not out for the Meggies. Upton cum Kexby had barely started against near neighbours Everton before their game was abandoned with the total standing at just 13 for 1 and down the road at Misterton the scheduled game with South Kelsey never got underway much to their disappointment.
So it was something of a damp squib for most , although a certain Mr Lawson will have fond memories of his sides opening game in Division Two.

SNAITH & DISTRICT EVENING CRICKET LEAGUE - MAY 16 GAMES
HIGHLIGHTS, RESULTS, SCORES, TABLES BY GLEN SANDS
DIVISION ONEChampions Fishlake are one of three teams that have started the 2013 season with an unbeaten run of three games , their latest victory coming at Burn who were bowled out for 121 , Hunter hitting 44 and Jamie Bingle 23 with Pearson taking 4 for 12 for Fishlake who eased to 122 for 3 thanks chiefly to 60 not out from Mason and 25 from Johnson. Goole Town beat Airmyn by 40 runs , setting them a target of 129 for 5 with contributions from Ben Earl who hit 32 and Greaves who made 28 not out and despite 42 from Kev Murphy and 28 from Rob Holah the men from the Percy Arms replied with just 89. Promoted Outcasts have made an excellent start to their campaign and they picked up a very good win at Askern who were restricted to 109 for 5 , Andy Lunn scoring 43 and Rhys Gibbons 25 with ex Askern player Jon Wroot taking 2 for 17 then the Isle side replied with 110 for 4 , winning with five deliveries to spare as Matthew Teal hit 22 , Spud Tait 21 , Russell Fletcher 17 not out and Josh Bramhill a vital dozen in just five balls. The one other Division game saw Hensall concede to Hirst Courtney , being unable to raise a side.
DIVISION TWOThere was a close finish to the game between Howden and Pollington with the former squeezing to a four runs victory , making 125 for 3 before Pollington reached 119 for 9 in reply whilst Sykehouse had a more comfortable win against Thorne Colliery , posting a total of 118 for 8 which included a terrific 52 from Stuart Bellwood and 23 from Phil Sanders , Thorne managing 62 for 2 in their innings. Drax Village v Carlton Towers was called off due to an unfit pitch and sadly the game between Eggborough and Goole Firemen did'nt take place with the Firemen failing to fulfill the fixture , leaving Eggborough to use their gathering at the ground as a practise session.

MESSINGHAM v LUDDINGTON - AMAZING SMILES NORTH LINDSEY DIV 2
BY GLEN SANDS
Luddington travelled to Messingham for their first game of the 2013 season following their title winning campaign but the game was in doubt on arrival as the air was full of drizzle. Both captains , Danny Rands of Messingham and Luddington's Gareth Parkin met with umpires Steve Dixon and Lee Stothard saying that they were keen to at least make a start and with all parties in agreement Luddington took first knock in far from ideal conditions. Graham Clark was out early , caught in the covers by Nick White off Chris Dawson then Danny Taylor perished with the total on 18 , bowled by Cameron Sanderson for three. Skipper Parkin joined Darren Clark in the middle as the drizzle increased but they carried on regardless before Clark was trapped LBW by Dawson for 11 which heralded the arrival of Andy Lawson to the crease. Almost immediately the game began to change as he opened his account with a towering six , then repeated the shot just two balls later. Parkin nudged seven singles before he was caught behind by the impressive New Zealand wicket keeper/batsman Cole Briggs off Messingham debutant Sam Yates which left Ludd on 49 for 4 but Jamie Arrowsmith then joined the already confident Lawson and they quickly took the score to 90. Slow bowler Ian Sowerby then bowled Arrowsmith for five , bringing Ludd's own debutant Alan Watkins out to join the ever dominant Lawson who brought up his half century off just 29 deliveries as the inclement weather eased. By now he was in top form , smashing the ball to all parts. Watkins was bowled by Mark Greenwood for six , bringing Oliver Saxon out to the middle who had the good sense to farm the strike to his partner as often as he could. Lawson's hundred arrived in typical fashion with a crashing boundary and in no time at all the score had reached 196 with all bowling being dispatched to all parts. He eventually hoisted a catch to Nick White who took a good catch in the deep off the bowling of Sanderson with his total on 128 from just 74 deliveries , the big man receiving a standing ovation from both sets of players for such a magnificent display. Arron Curry joined Saxon to take the final score to 214 for 7 , Saxon finishing on 18 and Curry on 12 , leaving Messingham with a huge task if they were to pick up an opening day victory.
Home skipper Danny Rands , opening with youngster Cole Briggs , set about the Luddignton bowling with real purpose and in no time at all they had reached 64 and he was in sight of a half century but he mistimed a shot off Matthew Mellers on 45 and was caught by Graham Clark. Mark Greenwood and the diminutive New Zealander took the total to 97 but were then involved in a mix up that saw the former run out following good work by Alan Watkins and it was'nt long before Messingham lost two further wickets when Steve Walker was bowled by Mellers and Elliott Markham was out to a quite stunning catch by Arron Curry off Darren Clark.. Nick White and Briggs took the score to 128 but just when it appeared the youngster was set to make his first half century on English soil he attempted a third on the arm of Darren Clark and was run out for 49. White was left to bat with the tail as wickets began to tumble, Neil Birkitt being bowled by Curry , as was Cameron Sanderson whilst Ian Sowerby was caught behind by skipper Parkin off Darren Clark and there was a third run out when Sam Yates was sacrificed in an attempt to get White on strike. There was still time for him to show his class though as he blasted a quickfire 72 not out with eight sixes but it proved to be just too big a task with the innings closing on 202 for 9 , some 12 runs short of the Luddington target.
This was a terrific game played in a splendid spirit in far from ideal conditions with Andy Lawson quite rightly taking the plaudits along with Nick White for Messingham but congratulations should go to everyone involved including the two umpires who stayed out despite the unfavourable weather at the off. Luddington travel to Hirst Priory on May 19th to take on neighbours Outcasts in the Cup whilst Messingham take on Barton Acadamy Vikings whom they meet in their next three natches , the first in the Cup before home and away league games. Everyone will be hoping that the weather improves for those matches !

APP-FROD 2NDS v OUTCASTS - LINCS LEAGUE DIV ONE
MATCH REPORT BY GLEN SANDS
Having lost the toss at Brumby Hall to Appleby Frodingham skipper Vinny Grimes on a cool and cloudy afternoon , then finding themselves struggling at 56 for 6 , Outcasts first eleven could'nt have thought in their wildest dreams that they would post a total of 202 for 9 in their 45 overs allocation which enabled them to go on to win by over 100 runs !It was looking grim as David Hobson ( 5 ) , John Stokoe ( 9 ) , Andrew Lawson ( 5 ) and Peter Tait ( 0 ) had all failed to reach double figures , Mohamed Ayub doing the bulk of the damage when taking three of those wickets , then promising opener Darren Clark picked out Paul Taylor in the deep off New Zealand youngster Chris Groenink having scored 22 and the Isle side were staring down the barrel of a second straight defeat. Captain Richard Wroot , in at number seven , became Groenink's second wicket when lifting a catch straight to Simon Leek which left the total on 56 for 6 but as the " woeful Outcasts " headlines were being prepared Matthew Teal strode to the crease to join his former Garthorpe buddy Scott Buttrick and steadily the tide began to turn as initially they consolidated the innings then began to play more freely. Both began to find the gaps in the field as the weather also became a little brighter , although there was still a chilly breeze cutting across the ground , then as the home attack tired they both took advantage with an array of outstanding shots. Teal in particular was timing the ball sweetly and he brought up a 44 ball half century as the visitors total stretched toward 150. Having reached 55 and on the brink of breaking a 46 year seventh wicket stand record of 97 with Buttrick Teal was surprisingly out , caught by Simon Leek off Jack Harrison , leaving the Garthorpe boys three short of said record. Buttrick continued to bat superbly , setting his sights on a half century of his own and a 200 plus total and along with Tom Sharpe they continued to press on. Buttrick's deseved half century duely arrived , then Sharpe was bowled for 12 by Harrison which brought vice captain Liam McAnaney to the crease. He had reached six when he was yorked by Simon Leek but Graeme Fletcher went out to join the increasingly dominant Buttrick to take the final total to 202 for 9 , Buttrick ending on a superb 66 not out and Fletcher on three. Mohamed Ayub picked up the most wickets for the Steelmen , taking 3 for 56 whilst there were two wickets each for Simon Leek , Chris Groenink and Jack Harrison.
For them to have any hope of chasing down such a formidable target Frod needed to get off to a good start but sadly for them it was the complete opposite as Graeme Fletcher had Simon Taylor caught by that man Buttrick without troubling the scorers and Jack Harrison was bowled by Matthew Teal first ball in the second over leaving their innings in tatters on 4 for 2 from just eight deliveries ! Chris Groenink hit a boundary then succumbed to the deadly accurate Teal as the third wicket fell at eight which meant home skipper Vinny Grimes then joined opener Mohamed Ayub to try and repair their innings. The score had reached 35 when Liam McAnaney bowled Ayub for 23 which brought Vinny's son Alex to the crease to join his dad. However the total remained on 35 when dad Vinny drove to mid off and called for a run only to find himself stranded half way down the pitch as Alex turned the run down leaving Darren Clark to throw to Richard Wroot who whipped off the bails to send poor Vinny back to the pavilion having scored just six and making for a likely awkward silence in the car journey home later in the evening ! Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals from then on , particularly when Tom Sharpe was introduced to bowl his spin. Matthew Teal had young Alex caught behind by Richard Wroot for four then Paul and John Taylor put together a stand of sixteen before Paul was superbly caught by a diving Graeme Fletcher in the deep off Sharpe for ten. Liam Grimes was next to go as finally the sun began to shine , then Richard Wroot stumped Aiden Boucher to pick up his third victim of the innings , Boucher who was later deservedly judged to be Frods fielder of the match. Sharpe then wrapped things up when the defient Paul Taylor was caught by that man Buttrick again , leaving the final total on 99 , a deficit of 103 runs ! Matthew Teal finished with figures of 3 for 20 from eleven overs to add to his half century and Tom Sharpe picked up 4 for 15 from 5.3 overs as the Isle side wrapped up a full 20 points haul that looked no more than a pipe dream when they stood at 56 for 6 in their innings !! Next up is a trip to take on Holton le Clay whilst Frod will look to bounce back when they entertain Messingham 2nds at Brumby Hall on May 18th.
It turned out to be a splendid day for Outcasts as their second eleven picked up their first win of the 2013 season.by beating South Kelsey at Hirst Priory. In a game kindly sponsored by Tobi Potato Merchants Kelsey were bowled out for 105 as skipper Jason Whiteley took 3 for 21 whilst Matthew Mellers picked up 2 for 17 , Craig McAnaney 2 for 11 and Josh Bramhill 2 for 22, Ben Brown top scoring for the visitors with 22 , aided in the middle order by Rob Denniss who hit 18 but it was'nt plain sailing for the Priorymen who lost six wickets in reaching their target despite an excellent opening stand of 47 from Anthony Fitzgerald ( 22 ) and James Glew who went on to score 37 valuable runs. Matt Burgess was doing his best to scupper the Outcasts innings as he took 5 for 26 but old hand Andy Torr , in his first game of the season , guided his team home to a four wicket victory , ending on 32 not out. Next up for the seconds is a potentially tough home game with Old Lincolnians whilst South Kelsey make the short trip to Caistor where they will be hoping to pick up their first win of the campaign.

Having reached 55 and on the brink of breaking a 46 year seventh wicket stand record of 97 with Buttrick Teal was surprisingly out , caught by Simon Leek off Jack Harrison , leaving the Garthorpe boys three short of said record. Buttrick continued to bat superbly , setting his sights on a half century of his own and a 200 plus total and along with Tom Sharpe they continued to press on. Buttrick's deseved half century duely arrived , then Sharpe was bowled for 12 by Harrison which brought vice captain Liam McAnaney to the crease. He had reached six when he was yorked by Simon Leek but Graeme Fletcher went out to join the increasingly dominant Buttrick to take the final total to 202 for 9 , Buttrick ending on a superb 66 not out and Fletcher on three. Mohamed Ayub picked up the most wickets for the Steelmen , taking 3 for 56 whilst there were two wickets each for Simon Leek , Chris Groenink and Jack Harrison.
For them to have any hope of chasing down such a formidable target Frod needed to get off to a good start but sadly for them it was the complete opposite as Graeme Fletcher had Simon Taylor caught by that man Buttrick without troubling the scorers and Jack Harrison was bowled by Matthew Teal first ball in the second over leaving their innings in tatters on 4 for 2 from just eight deliveries ! Chris Groenink hit a boundary then succumbed to the deadly accurate Teal as the third wicket fell at eight which meant home skipper Vinny Grimes then joined opener Mohamed Ayub to try and repair their innings. The score had reached 35 when Liam McAnaney bowled Ayub for 23 which brought Vinny's son Alex to the crease to join his dad. However the total remained on 35 when dad Vinny drove to mid off and called for a run only to find himself stranded half way down the pitch as Alex turned the run down leaving Darren Clark to throw to Richard Wroot who whipped off the bails to send poor Vinny back to the pavilion having scored just six and making for a likely awkward silence in the car journey home later in the evening ! Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals from then on , particularly when Tom Sharpe was introduced to bowl his spin. Matthew Teal had young Alex caught behind by Richard Wroot for four then Paul and John Taylor put together a stand of sixteen before Paul was superbly caught by a diving Graeme Fletcher in the deep off Sharpe for ten. Liam Grimes was next to go as finally the sun began to shine , then Richard Wroot stumped Aiden Boucher to pick up his third victim of the innings , Boucher who was later deservedly judged to be Frods fielder of the match. Sharpe then wrapped things up when the defient Paul Taylor was caught by that man Buttrick again , leaving the final total on 99 , a deficit of 103 runs ! Matthew Teal finished with figures of 3 for 20 from eleven overs to add to his half century and Tom Sharpe picked up 4 for 15 from 5.3 overs as the Isle side wrapped up a full 20 points haul that looked no more than a pipe dream when they stood at 56 for 6 in their innings !! Next up is a trip to take on Holton le Clay whilst Frod will look to bounce back when they entertain Messingham 2nds at Brumby Hall on May 18th.
It turned out to be a splendid day for Outcasts as their second eleven picked up their first win of the 2013 season.by beating South Kelsey at Hirst Priory. In a game kindly sponsored by Tobi Potato Merchants Kelsey were bowled out for 105 as skipper Jason Whiteley took 3 for 21 whilst Matthew Mellers picked up 2 for 17 , Craig McAnaney 2 for 11 and Josh Bramhill 2 for 22, Ben Brown top scoring for the visitors with 22 , aided in the middle order by Rob Denniss who hit 18 but it was'nt plain sailing for the Priorymen who lost six wickets in reaching their target despite an excellent opening stand of 47 from Anthony Fitzgerald ( 22 ) and James Glew who went on to score 37 valuable runs. Matt Burgess was doing his best to scupper the Outcasts innings as he took 5 for 26 but old hand Andy Torr , in his first game of the season , guided his team home to a four wicket victory , ending on 32 not out. Next up for the seconds is a potentially tough home game with Old Lincolnians whilst South Kelsey make the short trip to Caistor where they will be hoping to pick up their first win of the campaign.
