GRIMSBY FINISH IN STYLE

NORTH LINDSEY LEAGUE By Glen Sands

DIVISION ONE
Grimsby Town 3rds finished their Championship winning season in style when they beat Scunthorpe 4ths by nine wickets in a game switched to Augusta Street. C McGregor top scored for Scunthorpe who were bowled out for 119 , Ian Snowden hitting 23 and Bansal 21 by way of assisstance but they were never in the hunt as Harry Warwick picked up 4 for 35 and Connor Hawkins 3 for 2 before that man Warwick blasted a spectacular 88 not out to ease Grimsby to 120 for 1 in just 13.5 overs.
The other scheduled game in the First Division saw Cleethorpes 5ths having to cancel their scheduled double header at Appleby Frodingham 3rds as they had a Lincs League match and a rearranged Cup Final to play which stretched their resources beyond capasity. It leaves them bottom of the table but club spokesman assures us they will move heaven and earth to fulfill their final fixture against Messingham 3rds on Sunday September 18th.

DIVISION TWO
Broughton 3rds finished their season in second place following their five wicket victory over Alkborough 3rds who were bowled out of just short of three figures before Broughton inced to a narrow win whilst the Hibaldstow 2nds v Haxey 2nds was ruled to be a 1 point each share following a league ruling requirement.

DIVISION THREE
Normanby Park enjoyed thier last match of the 2011 season when they won a thriller at Everton 3rds therefore completing their second on field win of the year. Steve Johnson top scored for Everton with 48 in a totalof 153 all out , Richard Chambers and Glen Cruickshank adding 20 each whilst Blockley picked up 4 for 39 and Mark Knapton 3 for 9 for Normanby and young Blockley starred with the bat as well , hitting 46 along with ex Alkborough stalwart Paul Cowling who made 45 at the top of the innings , Glen Cruickshank ( 3 for 25 ) and Sean Leach 3 for 38 ) proving to be Everton's most successful bowlers.
