READERS LINCOLNSHIRE
September 6th
Saturday’s final
game of the season will decide the Readers
Lincolnshire ECB Premier League championship when leaders Bourne take on second
placed Lindum at St Giles Avenue
Bourne need just four points to be sure of lifting the title
while neither side can be caught by third placed Bracebridge Heath.
The bottom of the table will also go to the wire with
Billingborough just one point behind Market Rasen. On paper Billingborough have the more
difficult final game, away at Woodhall Spa but Market Rasen are also likely to
find the going tough against a resurgent Grimsby who travel to Rase Park keen
to end on a high note after what has been a difficult season for the club.
Safe in the knowledge that they are no longer threatened with
relegation, Grimsby Augusta
Street
The Sri Lankan took five for 68 as the home side were all out
for 173 then hit 63 in Woodhall’s seven wicket win.
Market Rasen suffered a similar fate, bowled out for 152 at
Skegness who went on to win by six wickets, Peter Houghton with an unbeaten 88.
But back at the top, Bourne drew nearer the title with a 16
point win over Market Deeping in which the highlight was Conrad Louth’s 72
runs, while Karanjit Bansal made 50 to help Lindum to a six wicket victory and 20
points at Billingborough who were bowled out for 145.
Bracebridge Heath were all out for 130, having been set a
target of 193 by Sleaford, for whom Tim McIntosh hit 81 and Ollie Smith took
six for 26.
The closest game of the day looked like being at Spalding
where the home side were all out for a creditable 182 in difficult batting
conditions, Thivanka Rajaratne with 50.
Louth found the going even harder until Arran Brindle and Graham West
got together to push the score along, Brindle making 55. But with Louth on 166 for nine, bad light
forced the end of play.
