THURSDAY MAY 17 GAMES REVIEWED BY GLEN SANDS

All bar one of the scheduled games in the Snaith Evening League were played on Thursday as the grounds around the region began to dry from the constant rain of the previous weeks.

Adam Slater top scored for the home side with 42 before being run out in their total of 77 for 3 then Tim Elliott guided Fishlake home with an unbeaten 38 as they eased to 78 for 4.
