SNAITH EVENING CRICKET LEAGUE UPDATE FROM GLEN SANDS

After the washout suffered across the board a week earlier the Snaith League got back into action with all seven scheduled matches being played in the two divisions.

SNAITH LEAGUE DIVISION ONE
Fishlake are making the early running this year as they won for the second time in three outings , the latest being a 52 runs victory over bottom of the table Airmyn who were reduced to 43 after Fishlake had set a target of 95 for 6.  Thorne Colliery have adapted well to life in the highest division and they made it two out of two wins when beating Howden Town who gained promotion with them last year. Howden were restricted to 80 for 8 as Marshall top scored with 24 , Luke Cockburn taking 3 for 13 for Thorne who then eased to 81 for 3 thanks chiefly to Langdale's 39 and Cutts 26 not out , Marshall picking up 3 for 14 for Town. The one other Division One game saw Aaron Gillies hit 30 and Josh Gillies 28 as Askern made 107 for 5 against Outcasts but the Isle side batted well in reply , reaching 108 for 5 off 17 overs , Oliver Coulman guiding them home with 40 to take them into equal third in the table.
