There were a couple of unusual incidents during Saturday's Bob Welton Cup second round tie between Alkborough 2nds and Hykeham 2nds at West Halton Lane.
First, Hykeham's left-arm seamer Richard Chester, who was having trouble keeping his feet in damp conditions, swapped footwear with a fielding colleague. This seemed to do the trick and he sent down some hostile deliveries during a really impressive spell.
Next, while his side were batting, Alkborough opening bowler Rich Kirman clearly thought he'd fill in time usefully, being a tail-ender. So he propped a ladder up against the clubhouse wall, climbed onto the roof and spent some time attending to the weather vane.
Hykeham 2nds are skippered by experienced opening batsman Steve Roe, the son of well-known Lincoln area all-rounder Peter, who many will remember from his years with Rustons.
Peter was still appearing in the Lincs League when well into his 60s, and in the Lincoln indoor competition even later than that!
