NOON START FOR MEGGIES


By Graham Hackney

Sunday saw Cleethorpes’ North Lindsey clash with Scunthorpe Town abandoned at the tea interval with Scunthorpe having posted 182-7 in their 40 overs. Alex Osmond was the pick of the Cleethorpes bowlers with 2/43 in nine overs, with brother James claiming 2/51 in 11 overs. Mike Shelton (1/32 in 9) was the other wicket-taker. Cleethorpes take one point from the abandonment to remain top of the division by a point from Appleby-Frodingham.

This Saturday Cleethorpes 1st X1 entertain Driffield at Chichester Road in the Yorkshire ECB Premier league (12 noon start). The 2nd X1 face a tough trip to Hartsholme on Saturday, despite bowling the same opposition out for just 62 at Cleethorpes a fortnight ago. Paul Hewstone’s 3rd X1 take on Scunthorpe Town in a top two clash at the Stamford Club this Saturday (1.30pm start) while the 4ths travel to Caistor 2nds.

Sunday sees the 3rd X1 travel to Barton Town for a Bob Welton Cup Semi-final with Cleethorpes, looking to retain the trophy they picked up last season.
Cleethorpes' North Lindsey side take on a strong Marshalls outfit at home on Sunday, with the Academy youngsters making the long trip to Friskney in the East Lindsey League.
