'ANKERS' AWAY DAY TO LINCOLN BRINGS CENTURY

Hartsholme hosted the highest scoring game of the day in the Readers
Lincolnshire ECB Premier League with a century scored in each innings as
Grimsby chased down a total of 274 to win by five wickets.
Warren Nel was unbeaten on 130 as the home side finished their 50 overs for
the loss of only one wicket, though captain Nathan Poundall was forced to
retire with a knee injury having hit 70. Matthew Wooldridge also chipped in
with 52.
But Grimsby skipper Richard Antcliffe also found the Ashby Avenue pitch to
his liking, carrying his bat for an unbeaten 129 to help his side to
victory.
Bracebridge Heath racked up the highest total of the day with 306 for four,
Nick John just missing out on his century when he was out for 96 and George
Neal unbeaten on 68. The home side then made sure of a maximum 20 points by
bowling Skegness out for177.
Lindum were only three runs behind Bracebridge after Pierce Morley-Barnes
and Luke Robinson had put on 140 for the first wicket in just 20 overs.
Morley-Barnes made 69 and Robinson 82 and Matt Rutherford contributed 67
lower down the order to help the total to 303 for eight. Nettleham were
unable to match this but denied their hosts maximum points, ending on 199
for eight.
A third century came at Louth where Nuwan Shiroman was 122 not out as the
home side finished on 275 for five, Graham West making 52. Woodhall Spa's
batting form then deserted them as they reached only 146 for eight at the
close.
Tom Andrews hit another half century at Market Deeping, finishing 64 not out
and Lee Peacock made 51 as the home side successfully chased Boston's total
of 195, Matt Ward hitting 63 of these runs.
And champions Bourne got their season on track as they restricted Sleaford
to185 for nine, Oliver Burford with 73, then knocked off the runs for the
loss of only two wickets, Conrad Louth hitting 81 and Pete Morgan 54.
