Outcasts maintained their
promotion hopes with a comfortable eight wicket victory over an under strength
Owmby side who remain under threat of relegation from Lincs League Division
One, writes GLEN SANDS.
Home skipper Liam McAnaney won the toss and invitee Owmby to bat
first and was quickly awarded when Graeme Fletcher trapped Kevin Bowring LBW
with the score on two. Fletcher picked up a second when he bowled Joe Atkin for
eleven then McAnaney got in on the act as he took three more Owmby wickets with
only 26 on the board. Dan Clark and Sam Chapman stuck around for a while ,
taking the total to 51 before Scott Buttrick had Chapman caught by Peter Tait
for eight then Clark was out to Deol Singh for 19 and the visitors hopes of
setting a sporting target were deminished even further as Darren Clark came on
to mop up the tail , picking up three for eleven from just 3.4 overs. Owmby were
left all out for 88 with captain Liam McAnaney finishing with 3 for 13 from 13
overs and Graeme Fletcher 2 for 17.
Openers Richard Wroot and Andrew
Lawson gave Outcasts a teriffic start , putting on 60 for the first wicket in
nine overs before Wroot was trapped LBW by Will Looker for 31 and Russell
Fletcher was also adjudged to be infront of his stumps to a Dan Clark delivery
but Lawson was in a hurry and quickly smashed the runs requires to put his team
within four of victory , although it was Deol Singh who hit the winning boudary
to clinch a maximum 20 points for the Isle side. Lawson ended the innings on 44
not out with sven fours and a six from 33 deliveries.
So they remain in
third place, within striking distance of the promotion placings and will travel
to Heslam Park on August 16th looking to maintain their outstanding season ,
whilst the seconD eleven play hosts to Scunthorpe 3rds at Hirst Priory in their
quest to make it a double promotion for the club.
