SCUNTHORPE WIN ONLY TOP-FLIGHTER

NORTH LINDSEY LEAGUE ROUND-UP
By Glen Sands

DIVISION ONE
Only one of the scheduled First Division games actually took place on Sunday as Caistor Cougars home ground was in use for a Lincolnshire League George Marshall Trophy Semi-Final, meaning their game v Messingham 3rds will be rearranged. Over in Gainsborough, Marshalls were unable to raise a team to play Appleby-Frodingham 3rds, which means Marshalls lose a point whilst Frod are awarded three. The game that was played was at Marsh Lane, where Scunthorpe 4ths set a target of 226 for 6 thanks to Michael McGillvary who hit 70, Jake Smith (64) and Ian Snowden (63) before Barton were reduced to 144 all-out, Dominic Bishop scoring 31 with Josh Pashley picking up 4 for 51.
