Misterton skipper Darren Emmingham produced a real man of the match performance on Sunday as his team won for the first time in the North Lindsey League this season at Luddington, who only had themselves to blame for their defeat when dropping a couple of catches.
It was Luddington who batted first with the Clark brothers opening for the Isle side and it was Darren who was out first , caught and bowled by Darren Emmingham for seven with the total on 12. Graham Clark was next to go , bowled by Emmingham for 17 then home skipper Gareth Parkin was caught by that man Emmingham off Mark Boscolo for five leaving Ludd on 31 for 3. Andy Lawson and Danny Taylor took the score to 84 before both were quickly dismissed , Taylor for just a single and Lawson for an impressive 46 then Steve Proctor and Arron Curry took the total to 105 only for Proctor to edge a catch to Tim Sharpe off Tom Denmanhaving made eight. Debutant Martin Fletcher scored five then was caught by Denman off Matt Boscolo and with the score on 120 Curry was bowled by Beecroft for 12. A further half a dozen runs had been added when Matt Mellers was ninth man out , bowled by Matt Boscolo for four but another man on debut , Andy Clark stuck around with veteran Barry O'Brien to end the innings at 145 for 9 , Clark making four not out whilst O'Brien hit an excellent 15 not out to bolster his case for a top order slot in future weeks !
Having taken 3 for 41 in the Luddington innings Misterton skipper Emmingham proved his all round ability by making an exceptional 90 not out to guide his team to victory. Tim Sharpe scored a quickfire 20 before being caught by Andy Lawson off Graham Clark but fellow opener Beecroft and his captain then added 80 for the second wicket only for Arron Curry to break the partnership when having Beecroft caught by wicket keeper Steve Proctor for 24. Curry then bowled Pete Snow without a run being added and picked up a third wicket when Proctor caught Mark Boscolo for four with the overall total at 116. Grham Clark bowled Bramham for two but all this time the impressive Emmingham was adding to the Misterton total at the other end. Both Clark and Curry picked up a further wicket each but fittingly it was Emmungham who hit the winning runs to earn Misterton their first three points haul of the season and inflicting a second league defeat on Luddington.
There will be an Isle of Axholme derby at Luddington on Sunday when they entertain Isleonians, whilst Misterton play hosts to Normanby Park, whom they defeated by ten wickets just two weeks ago in the Cup.
