Damp
weather made it a bowlers’ weekend in the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League – with the exception of the game
at Sleaford where three players hit half centuries in a game that produced only
seven wickets.
Leaders
Bourne were skittled out for 131 by Lindum but Colin Cheer hit back with five
wickets as the visitors were all out for only 66.
It was a
similar story in the bottom of the table clash at Augusta Street Grimsby
But the Grimsby
This moved Grimsby
Nathan Mill
struck with the score on five and Joe Braithwaite claimed the valuable wicket
of Malinga Bandara to make it 35 for two.
Jonny Cheer hit 25 and Ben O’Brien 24 but the combined attack of slow
bowlers Steve Scott and Angus Youles made batting hard work.
On 125 for
five, Woodhall were looking at a total around 150 until Jack Hughes joined
skipper Jack Luffman in a partnership that took the final score to 172 for
five, Luffman making 44.
Connor
Parsons then took two wickets and a run out made it 27 for three. From here the Billingborough batsmen had
little answer to the Woodhall bowling, only stand-in skipper Scott with 32
putting up much resistance. The final
wicket fell on 70, O’Brien taking four wickets and Bandara three in a victory
that moved Woodhall up to fourth in the table.
At
Spalding, Bracebridge Heath won with just four balls to spare, having made the
top score of the day with 192 for nine despite losing their first two wickets
for 14 runs. Brett Houston hit 36 but it was the fifth wicket partnership of 76
between Hymie Bentley (46) and Stuart Fraser-Cattanach (28) that set the
visitors on the road to victory.
Spalding
were 40 for three when Chris Dring joined Josh Newton to add 43 and Newton and
Charlie Kearns added 35 for the sixth wicket but when Newton became Matt
Bradley’s third victim, stumped on 44 with the score on 137 for eight, only 12
more runs were added, Bradley finishing with five for 24.
Bracebridge
are now in second place, just one ahead of Market Deeping for whom Mehul Adatia
took three wickets at Sleaford, including Tim McIntosh for 44. Skipper Oliver Burford made an unbeaten 60 to
take his side to 187 for five only to see Deeping race to 156 without loss
thanks to Chris Jones and Jamie Morgan.
Morgan was
run out for 86 but by the time Jones was bowled for 59, only 12 runs were
needed for victory which came with 10 overs to spare.
Skegness
made it two wins in succession to move away from the bottom three, as Louth
were unable to defend a low total. A run
out and two victims for Tom Cuthbert reduced the visitors to 37 for three and
the introduction of Umar Farooq (5-24) to the attack saw wickets continue to
tumble, the final one falling on 101.
Skegness
then suffered two early losses but an unbeaten 41 from skipper Norman Brackley
saw the seasiders home by seven wickets.
