| Hartlepool 1st XI had a blank Saturday last week to mark the occasion of
Mr and Mrs Palmer's wedding bash. So to make up for that the 2nds
had a double weekend but came out second best on both days.
The away match against Bishop Auckland was marred by a sickening injury
to the umpire Ken Dixon. He was struck when the ball was driven back
down the pitch and sustained a broken leg. The result after
such a serious injury seems of minor significance as all players were
shocked by the incident. Match Drawn Bishop
Auckland v Hartlepool 2nds All who know Ken Dixon will wish him
speedy return to fitness and we all hope to see him umpiring again next
year.
On
Sunday the 2nds were at home to a surprisingly strong Marton team
featuring some regular 1st XI players. Obviously Marton have decided
to make a push to win Division 2 and strengthen the team. Hartlepool
were comfortably beaten as Marton coasted home by 7 wickets. Hartlepool
