We all saw the funny side, but it could have been nasty...
During Saturday's Lincs League premier division match at Brumby Hall between Appleby-Frodingham 2nds and champions Messingham, the latter's keeper, Cameron Fletcher, was the victim of a freak incident. He was standing up to the stumps to a seamer when the ball eluded the outside edge of the bat and somehow ended up inside the visor of his helmet.
Talk about sniffing leather!
Cameron, who has established a new dismissals record for the top-flight, was unhurt and we all had a chuckle about it - including him.
Just as well young keepers are forced to don the lid by our lords and masters at the ECB. Take your hat off to them...or, in Cameron's case, your helmet!
