BORDERING ON THE UNBELIEVABLE

On July 4, South Lincs and Border League second division side Cavaliers achieved their first victory, not just of this season but for 52 weeks!
The Peterborough side last won a South Lincs & Border game on July 5, 2008 and for 2009 already had two unwanted records to their name – 16 games without a win in any cricket and a match that brought a 300+ runs tally against them.
After tasting victory at long last, their fixture secretary Terry Bennett said: "If you want a reason why people play cricket, this is it. It's the unpredictability of the game."
Meanwhile, Jon Lamyman, of Billingborough, bowled 12 overs in their division one victory overWoodhall Spa 2nds - and the first 10 were all maidens. Billingborough are top of the league, closely followed by Boston.
