SNAITH EVENING LEAGUE ROUND-UP BY GLEN SANDS

Only three of the scheduled seven Snaith League games were played on June 27th due to rain and wet conditions around the region but all three had an effect on matters in both divisions.

SNAITH LEAGUE DIVISION ONEThe top of the table clash between leaders Goole Town and Fishlake was postponed because ot the weather which means Town remain two points ahead of Fishlake in the table while Airmyn moved into equal  third place when they beat lowly Burn by four wickets , Burn setting a target of 122 for 2 thanks 44 not out from R Adamson and 42 from Montgomery only for Airmyn to overhaul them as Phil Sparked hit 44 and Mann 27 not out. That win moves Airmyn level on points with Outcasts who were rained off at Hensall and there was no play possible at Askern Welfare who were due to play Hirst Courtney.

SNAITH LEAGUE DIVISION TWOThe race for promotion to Division One is heading for a thrilling finish as no less than four clubs are seperated by only two points ! Thorne Colliery took over top spot after they beat fellow contenders Eggborough by four wickets , Eggborough scoring 102 for 2 with 43 not out from Callum Tyson and 33 from Drew Pearson before Broughton hit 34 and Beaumont 22 as Thorne replied with 107 for 6 , leaving the Power Station side two points back in fourth spot now. Howden gained a big win over Drax Village to take them joint second with Carlton Towers who were rained off at Pollington , Wes Pears hitting 77 and Toby Bodycombe 35 as Howden made 159 for 5 before Drax replied with 84 for 6 , Michael Pounder taking 3 for 6 from his four overs to put Howden just one point behind leaders Thorne with what may well be a vital game in hand.
July 4th will see the clubs into the final straight of the season with Division One title hunters Goole Town and Fishlake taking on  Airmyn and Burn respectively. Outcasts play hosts to Askern Welfare at their Hirst Priory ground and finally in the top flight Hirst Courtney welcome bottom club Hensall who really need to start winning if they are to climb away from the relegation zone.
Thorne Colliery have a home game against Sykehouse who can be a match for anyone on their day whilst Howden head to Pollington looking to keep up the pressure on the leaders and Carlton Towers will also be ready to pounce should there be a slip if they can see off Drax Village in the one other Second Division game.
