CHANDS IN FORM FOR SCUNTHORPE TOWN


BY GLEN SANDS

It was cup weekend across all three divisions of the North Lindsey Cricket League, ties being played in glorious sunshine around the county, which was reflected in the scores.

DIVISION ONE KO CUP 1ST ROUND
The game at Hirst Priory between Outcasts and Scunthorpe Town was actually a double header as the teams played for league points as well as a place in the Cup Semi Finals and it was the visitors who came out on top in a eal run fest. Ramesh Chand hit 82 and brother Gamesh 71 as Town posted a target of 252 for 6 which proved too many for the Priorymen despite Peter Tait's 71 , Matt Teal's 52 and a welcome return to batting form of 43 not out for To Sharpe who claimed after the match to have hit the biggest six of his career so far during his innings ! Next up for Scunthorpe is a home Semi Final against Barton Academy Vikings who gained a five wicket win over Broughton who scored 183 for 8 at Marsh Lane, Nick Dobbs hitting a splendid 106 with Nathan Jones took 3 for 20 and Jack Waller 3 for 40 for Vikings after which Chris Kipling scored 59 and Alex Shreeve 44 not out to see their team home. The one other Division One Quarter Final saw Caistor Cougars beat Grimsby Town by 100 runs at Augusta Street, Harry Boulton scoring 85 for the visitors.
