From Kevin White, Alford CC
We seem to be having a nightmare Premier League season at Alford but you may wish to include the following article on your 'blog' (you will be pleased to know that a number of the club members are regular visitors to your site!):
Fifteen year old Harry McHamilton made his Lincolnshire County Cricket League premier division debut for Alford & District CC last Saturday in the club's home fixture with Hartsholme and had the misfortune to catch Daniel Odd twice at long on, and on both occasions stepped on or over the ropes to give the Lincoln sides Australian all rounder six runs.
Harry was playing for Alford's under 15 XI in the East Lindsey Under 15 League early in the season and has shown so much promise he has just played half a dozen or so Second XI games in Division 4 of the Lincolnshire League before being asked to play in the club's first XI.
He was obviously very disappointed that neither attempt counted and Odd went on to score a match winning 59 as Hartsholme overhauled the home side's score of 247 for 9 with just two overs to spare, but as his team mates were quick to point out, catches at long on are never easy and for someone with so little experience he took them like a senior member of the team.
On both occasions the unlucky bowler was Kevin White.
