Outcasts' recent good form in Lincs League Divison One was brought to a halt at Holton-Le-Clay on Saturday when they were dismissed for only 126 then saw the opposition ease to their target with the loss of only one wicket on an afternoon that began in sunshine but ended in very cool and cloudy conditions.
Richard Wroot took over the captaincy from the unavailable Russell Fletcher and all appeared well when he won the toss and chose to bat first. Oliver Coulman hit a couple of boundaries but then somehow steered a full toss straight to Steve Marshall at backward square off the bowling of Ian Hallam which brought Darren Clark to the crease to join his skipper. For a while they batted comfortably , both pouncing on any loose deliveries , then just when they looked set to press on there was a dreadful mix up that saw Clark run out for 19 with the total on 46. That setback was the catalist for a somewhat disappointing batting performance as wickets began to fall far too regularly , with Wroot going for 23 with the total on 55 , caught by Paul Holmes off David Taylor. Hallam bowled David Hobson for two to make it 59 for 4 then Graham Clark went the same way as the home side began to turn the screw on the Isle side. Andy Lawson was bowled by Dan Portus for 12 as Outcasts reeled but Andy Torr and Matty Teal settled things down with a partnership of 38 runs to take them past the three figure mark. Torr had made 30 valuable runs when he was trapped LBW by the wiley Portus and that heralded the beginning of the end as Liam McAnaney quickly followed along with Teal ( for a well constructed 18 ) and Tom Sharpe , leaving Outcasts all out for 126 , Portus finishing with 4 for 30 and Hallam 3 for 41 in what had been a splendid bowling and fielding performance.
If they were to have any hope of salvaging a victory Outcasts really needed early wickets which they failed to take , indeed it was Holton le Clay who made a terrific start , reaching 30 for 0 after only five overs. Skipper Wroot rang the changes with his bowlers but the opening batsmen David Taylor and Paul Holmes used their experience to hold back anything that Outcasts could throw at them. Taylor seccumbed when he was well caught by Andy Torr off Liam McAnaney for 15 with the total on 44 but from that moment on Holton le Clay cruised to victory with Holmes and number three batsman Josh Plaskitt batting sensibly to see them home. Holmes hit 59 not out from 136 deliveries whilst Plaskitt finished on 37 from 77 which may not have been spectacular but in the context of the game was exactly what was required , earning their team a maximum 20 points whilst Outcasts collected just one from their afternoon's work.
So the run has come to an end but the Isle side are still handily placed in third place and will look to bounce back when they travel to Louth 2nds on Saturday whilst for Holton le Clay they will travel to Hykeham buoyed by their excellent victory.
Outcasts 2nds produced a very satisfactory Division Three performance when beating Old Lincolnians by three wickets at Hirst Priory , bowling their opponents out for 115 with four wickets for Alex Fletcher then Peter Tait hit 62 not out as the Priorymen eased to 116 for 3 to collect twenty much needed points.
Outcasts CC would like to offer their most sincere condolences to Anthony Fitzgerald and his family on their recent bereavement. The club's thoughts are with them at this sad time.

RAMBLERS RACK UP 258
By Ann BoultonBillingborough opened up a 25 point gap over Sleaford 2nd at the top of South Lincolnshire & Border League after picking up 20 points against Boston 2nd, while Sleaford 2nd took 17 from their victory over Moulton Harrox.
Bowlers dominated in the leaders’ match, Paul Deans taking six wickets for Boston and Roy Tilley replying with five for Billingborough.
Lindum Ramblers moved into the top half or the table after hitting the division’s highest team total of the day of 258, Will Wright contributing 79 and Matt Haslam taking five wickets for Woodhall Spa who were then bowled out for 98.
On equal points with Lindum are Stamford who beat Market Deeping by five wickets thanks in part to an unbeaten 82 from Andrew Hulme while, despite five wickets for Matt Pottle, Bourne 2nd remain anchored at the bottom of the table after going down to Spalding for whom Ansar Hussain hit an unbeaten 89.
Skegness moved even further ahead at the top of Division Two after a comprehensive 10 wicket win over Stamford 2nd while Welby got back to winning ways with victory over Cavaliers and Thomas Cook won a high scoring game against Boston 3rd.
Joe Braithwaite took 11 wickets in Heckington’s two matches – five on Saturday when his team went down heavily attempting to chase Spalding’s 258 for nine and six on Sunday when Heckington scored an unexpected win over Sleaford Sunday who are now only three points ahead of Welby in second place.
Division Three leaders Spalding stay above North Luffenham after both recorded victories, Spalding beating Blankney and Luffenham – who have a game in hand on Spalding - coming out on top in the day’s highest scoring game after chasing down Claypole’s 228 for six to win by six wickets.
Grantham 2nd’s Danny Ashley hit the day’s highest total of 150 not out against an under-strength Burgh & District team. Grantham made 277 for three before bowling Burgh out for 109.

HEATH FURTHER AHEAD
By Ann BoultonBracebridge Heath opened up a gap at the top of the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League with victory over Louth, setting their opponents a target of 229. But Louth could only manage 152, of which Nuwan Shiroman hit 62 and moved to top place in the total of runs for the season with Hartsholme’s Warren Nel, both having made 390 from seven games.
Although Nel made only six before becoming the first of Tom Andrews’ six victims, his side came away from second placed Market Deeping with the lion’s share of the points after notching up the day’s highest total of 259 for nine. Kit Spence was closing in on his maiden Premier League century when he too fell to Andrews for 94 and with Chris Jones at the crease, Deeping looked set for another successful run chase.
But wickets fell steadily at the other end, Martin Shillito claiming four and Deeping had to settle for 198 for seven, Jones carrying his bat with 103, the day’s only century.
Deeping are now 16 points behind Bracebridge who were bowled out for 229. But at 51 for five, the top side were looking at a much lower score before James Wright and Brett Houston saved the day with a stand of 109, both passing their half centuries. Newly arrived South African Ashley Schultz took three Louth wickets and looks set to fill the opening bowler slot vacated by Aaron Onyon.
Grimsby profited from Deeping’s result and are now just 10 points off second place, replacing Lindum in third after setting Bourne a target of 227 before bowling them out for 200, Conrad Louth making 83. Jim Morgan hit 72 and Neal Snell 51 for Grimsby while George Linde added five more wickets to his growing total.
Lindum slid down the table once again to fifth after being bowled out for 114 at London Road, a total Sleaford overtook for the loss of six wickets, Oliver Burford making a welcome return to captain the home side.
This gave Boston the opportunity to move to a heady fourth place with an 18 run victory over Skegness. Boston were bowled out for 218 in the 45th over, Josh Newton top scoring with 44 and Elliot Wilson swapping ball for bat with an unbeaten 42. This gave Skegness 55 overs to bat – which ultimately counted in Boston’s favour as they bowled their opponents out for 201 in the 54th, Peter Houghton making 47.
Nettleham slipped to the bottom of the table after going down by four wickets to fellow strugglers Woodhall Spa for whom Sam Evison hit 80, while skipper David Manby again reached a half century for Nettleham.
RESULTS
Boston 218, Skegness 201; Grimsby 227-9 (Morgan 72, Snell 51), Bourne 200 (Louth 83, Linde 5-52); Bracebridge Heath 229 (Wright 59, Houston 53), Louth 152 (Shiroman 62); Hartsholme 259-9 (Spence 94, Wilkinson 65, Andrews 6-69), Market Deeping 198-7 (Jones 103no); Lindum 114, Sleaford 115-6; Nettleham 154 (Manby 50), Woodhall Spa 155-6 (Evison 80).

LUDDINGTON POWER HOME AT DRAX
By Glen Sands
Despite the low scores there was a thrilling encounter in the Snaith District Evening League between Drax Village and Luddington which went right to the wire before the club from the Isle of Axholme squeezed home with just three deliveries to go.
Drax won the toss and chose to bat first on a track which had not been used before and they quickly found themselves one down when skipper Matt Atkinson was bowled by Scott Buttrick , a delivery that kept a little low in strike the stumps. James Knibb and Ed Montgomery took the total to 11 before Liam McAnaney struck , bowling the latter for three and just four runs had been added when Drax lost their third wicket , Knibb being bowled by Buttrick again for four. Nick Hadfield and Luke Edwards had taken the score to 24 when Buttrick picked up his third victim , bowling Hadfield for seven then McAnaney chipped in with his second wicket , bowling Edwards for 10 and leaving the home side struggling at 30 for 5. K Brook and 16 year old Oliver Ounsley then added twenty to the total with some good batting before Brook was bowled by Graham Clark for seven and a further five runs had been added when Dan Montgomery was out for five , bowled by Graeme Fletcher in his fourth and final over.Young Ounsley was batting spledidly and was joined at the crease by C Wade who hit a couple of lusty blows before he was caught by Gareth Parkin off part time bowler Jamie Belton for 15 valuable runs. Ounsley had reached 32 when he was caught by Scott Buttrick , again off Belton and the Drax innings closed on 97 for 9 from their allotted overs with Buttrick finishing with 3 for 14 whilst Liam McAnaney took 2 for 14 and Jamie Belton 2 for 13 for the visitors.
Luddington's reply got off to the worst possible start as Belton was bowled by Steve Smith with another delivery that kept a little low and things were no better when Richard Wroot was caught by wicket keeper Brook from the very next ball , leaving then rocking on 0 for 2 from just four deliveries ! Father and son combo Mark and Oliver Coulman got Ludd on the board but Mark was third man out when he edged to Brook again , this time off Matt Atkinson , having made nine , and when Graham Clark inexplicably played all around a full toss Luddington were deep in the mire at 13 for 4. Skipper Andy Lawson joined Oliver Coulman at the crease and quickly got into his stride and in no time at all the total had reached 33 when Coulman was bowled by namesake Oliver Ounsley for five and when Russell Fletcher and then Lawson himself were dismissed , both off the bowl;ing of Wade , all seemed lost for the Isle side who were floundering on 34 for 7 , some 68 runs short of the Drax total ! However Scott Buttrick and Liam McAnaney were not to be denied and they began to reduce the deficit with some excellent batting. They saw off the impressive Ounsley who bowled his four overs taking 1 for 17 then began to unleash a flurry of boundaries that brought them ever closer to their target. Buttrick in particular was in exceptional form and between them they had taken their team to within two runs of victory when McAnaney was bowled for 15 in the penultimate over but it was too little too late for Drax and fittingly it was man of the match Scott Buttrick who hit the winning runs to end the game on 42 not out , and in doing so lifting Luddington into third place in the Division One table.
Next up for Luddington in the league is a home fixture against Sykehouse , whilst Drax will look to pick up their first win of the season when they meet Hensall for the second time in a week , the first encounter being in the Cup.
The sun shone yesterday, which meant the Snaith League matches were all played to completion after a couple of weeks of inclement weather had interupted some of the scheduled games.
Division One
Askern Welfare moved level at the top of the table with Goole Town who did'nt have a game , Welfare beating Champions Fishlake by seven wickets as Fishlake posted a total of 132 for 4 thanks to 46 from Josh Mason and 40 not out from Teasdale but Josh Gillies guided Askern to victory with an unbeaten 70 to earn them their win whilst Luddington moved into third spot when they won a low scoring encounter at Drax Village by just two wickets. Drax chose to bat first on a previously unused track and struggled to 97 for 9 , 16 year old Oliver Ounsley top scoring with 32 with Scott Buttrick p[icking up 3 for 14 and it was he who won the match for the Isle side with an unbeaten 42 , aided by 15 from Liam McAnaney as Luddington recovered from 33 for 7 to clinch an unlikely victory. The one other Division One game saw Hensall pick up their first win of the season as they beat Sykehouse by 14 runs , Craig Mains hitting 26 in their total of 108 for 5 before restricting Sykehouse to 94 for 7 , James Davies top scoring with 22.
Division Two
Pollington moved level with Hirst Courtney at the top of Division Two when beating them by nine wickets , Hirst being bowled out for 120 with B Howard hitting 45 and M Alford 24 , Ian Mileham taking 4 for 14 and Duncan Kiddy 3 for 8 for Pollington who replied with 123 for 1 , Adam Slater scoring 72 not out with Mileham making 26. Carlton Towers won by seven wickets against Airmyn who were dismissed for 86 and overhauled for the loss of just three wickets by Carlton and finally in Division Three Burn beat Goole Firemen by just four runs in a real thriller at Goole , A Pearce scoring 35 and R Adamson 30 as Burn reached 176 for 6 , S Cawthorne taking 3 for 38 for the Firemen who came tantalisingly close to bettering Burn's score only to fall narrowly short , L Mitchell hitting 54 , Mark West 47 and Will O'Donnell 36 not out for the unfortunate Firemen.
Division Three
New boys Outcasts moved level with leaders Howden when they comfortably beat Drax Village 2nds at Hirsts Priory by 113 runs , Charlie Mason scoring 62 not out and brother Luke 33 as Outcasts hit 155 for 3 then the visitors were shot out for 44 , Wesley Ellis picking up 4 for 4 and Niall Chester 2 for 10 whilst Alex Fletcher and Jarrod Teanby bowled well whilst picking up a wicket apiece. Eggborough climbed above Thorne Colliery in the table when beating them by 18 runs in a low scoring affair that saw them make 88 for 6 thanks chiefly to Lee Howard's 33 , Jon Appleby taking an impressive 5 for 13 for Thorne who managed 70 for 5 in reply , James Stewart hitting 26 for the Colliery side.

Monday brings the launch of the 2011 Grimsby Town Knock Out – and the start of a special season for the competition.
It is 75 years since the knock out began and to mark the occasion, the eight participating teams will be competing to be the first name on a new trophy.
First up are Cleethorpes and Louth, both of whom have Sri Lankan overseas players for 2011. Nuwan Shiroman, a familiar face to knock out fans, has had an excellent start following his return to Louth after a season in Essex, notching up 328 runs in his first six games and also taking 10 wickets.
In contrast, Cleethorpes’ player Omesh Wijesiriwardana is an unknown quantity, having only arrived at the club at the end of last week.
The Meggies have had a very good opening spell in the ECB Yorkshire Premier League, holding top place for a couple of weeks and still challenging for the title.
Louth, who are in the top half of the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League table, will meet up with their former batsman Rory Osmond, now at Chichester Road with cousins James and Alex, though Cleethorpes skipper James is out with a broken finger.
And the Meggies could also face a former player and knock out favourite – bowler Andy Carrington who is now with Louth and so far has 14 wickets to his name.
The game, which begins at 6.15pm, is 16 eight-ball overs, four overs per bowler with fielding restrictions and a free hit for a no-ball. Umpires for the opening fixture are Ian Wilkinson and Brian Duncalf.
There is ample car parking around the ground and spectators are welcome.
