Graham Hackney has penned the following report:
Sunday's cup final win over Alkborough 2nds was achieved after an outstanding bowling display, Cleethorpes 3rds dismissing their opponents out for just 113. Excellent opening spells from Richard Woodward (2/30 in 8.2) and Fred Lumby (1/22 in 9) had Alkborough on the back foot and this was followed up by Jeff Todd’s fine 2/13 in nine overs and Lewis Markham’s 4/41 in 8. Ian Bellamy produced to most miserly of spells of all in nine overs that was to bring him the man of the match award. Matt Shelton (33) and veteran Bob Leafe (25) added 68 for the first wicket in reply before a run out accounted for Shelton. With four wickets falling for just 19 runs Alkborough sensed a chance before composed batting from Paul Ridley (16 not out) and Kris Richardson (14 not out) saw Cleethorpes home in the 37th over.
Full marks to Andy Clay’s Alkborough side for the spirit in which the match was played as Paul Hewstone lifted the trophy for the second successive year.
