DOUBLE HEADER

Let's hope the weather stays fine today - although, mid-morning, it doesn't look anywhere near as bright as the forecast suggested - for the Scunthorpe area's August bank holiday Monday cricketing showpieces.
From 10.30am, at Heslam Park, Scunthorpe Town CC stages its first Twenty20 Tournament, which should run until 6pm or 7pm. Refreshments available on the ground.
Across the Trent - at Outcasts' Hirst Priory ground, starting at 2pm - there's the annual veterans' match, organised by Ian Fletcher. That's 40 overs a side - spectators welcome. Any 45-and-over 'vets' reading this who fancy a run out are welcome to turn up with their kit.
The numbers have been swelled over the past couple of days by the addition of Paul Bradley (Haxey), Col Mumby (Broughton) and Bob Welton (Holton-le-Clay), although injuries have seen one or two drop out.
These games have always proved popular in the past, and the tally of wins currently reads Fletch 2, Fisher 2 (if I remember correctly).
