Clowne Town 52 All Out.

With Clowne only lasting 28 overs it was straight back out on to the field to try and regain some pride. Dale Steers opened the innings and generated some good pace and he was rewarded instantley with the wicket of M Fletcher off his second ball. He then had Harchuck bowled off his 6th ball leaving Stapleford 0-2 from one over, anything was possible. Cliff was next to go as Dale had him bowled for 10 leaving Stapleford 3 down. Dave Swannack then had the leagues leading run scorer Andy Brear caught at gully for 9. Stapleford had 4 down. However Clowne again suffered from the fact that Dale Steers had to be removed from the Clowne attack after his 5 over spell. Paul Linacre came on for Swannack (who went to bowl at Dales end) and he bowled two good overs which were both maidens before taking himself off. On came Ashley to continue with the tight bowling the pressure was building and this led to the run out of Walker. However Staplefords bowling hero P Fletcher hit a decent 30 not out and won the game for Stapleford.
