From Graham Hackney - our man at Chichester Road HQ
With the Cleethorpes CC North Lindsey X1 game at Hibaldstow being cancelled, Neil Wheeler led the Academy X1 to victory over Revesby at the Stamford Club on Sunday. After posting 176-6 in their 40 overs, the Academy then bowled Revesby out for 129 in the 30th over. Harry Clewett came agonizingly close when out for 49 in Cleethorpes innings with David Mansfield showing good promise with 30 at the top of the order. Veteran first teamer Andy Ellis chipped in with 29. Revesby soon lost wickets in reply with the pick of the bowlers being Sam Would with 2/15. John Mansfield, and Nicola Knapton both picked up a pair of wickets while, twins Tom and Josh Latimer, Fred Lumby and Ian Mansfield all grabbed a wicket apiece.
This Saturday the Cleethorpes 1st X1 travel to Doncaster and need the win if they have any hopes of reeling in their opponents and Castleford who lie just above them in the Yorkshire league table. On Bank Holiday Monday they travel across the bridge to local rivals Hull. Dan Tolson’s 2nd X1 can all but clinch the Premier league title with victory at second-placed Haxey on Saturday. Buoyed by their back to back wins this weekend Tolson’s side face a tough ask as they take on the best bowling outfit in the Premier league. Another side who can take giant steps towards their league title are Paul Hewstone’s 3rd X1 who entertain Scothern in an earlier start time of 12.30pm. They then welcome Holton le Clay to Chichester Road on the Bank Holiday Monday (1.30pm Start). Cleethorpes North Lindsey side can almost wrap up the league when Caistor visit Cleethorpes this Sunday (2pm Start).
NF adds: Word reaches me that the above-mentioned Andy Ellis was spotted in a Brigg hostelry recently. Perhaps reliving his years with Appleby-Frodingham when we used to see him in the Black Bull from time to time.
