Clowne
Clowne lost the toss on another wet day and were put into bat. Lowton went for a duck but Steers progressed with the support of Kinsey . Joe fell to the spinner trying to hook. Hendley came and went run out which brought forward Linacre. Both were hitting well and Steers was hitting well with 3 conseq. 4’s when he went down the pitch and the bowler had him stumped(29) Twigg came and went for 1. Up stepped Greveson and played a watching brief for Linacre who was stroking the ball around. Greveson upped the pace and hit a couple of good fours whilst Linacre repeated the other end. Greveson fell to the spinner for 18.Partnership of 38. Linacre followed soon after for a good 36 leaving the tail to bat out for 127. Pick of the bowlines S Esward 10-3-11-1 A good effort given the conditions.

Whittaker and Greveson opened and Whittaker had Esward caught 2nd over and Greveson not to be outdone clean bowled Weightman 2nd over. Whittaker returned 5-0 15-1 a good effort. Steers juggled a good catch to give Greveson (7-1-21-2) his second. Wood gave a good display 5-1-9-1 and Kinsey took a blinding catch at mid on. Steers at the other end was a quick as ever and clean bowled 6 and 7.The bails flew further than the batsmen were hitting!. Kinsey was struggling with the wet ball but picked up a wicket with the cobra like reflexes of Hendley taking a slip catch. The captain (Linacre) came on lead by example and returned a splendid 7.2-2-7-3. Matt Lowton deserves mention for excellent keeping and took a good catch off Linacre who was putting in extra effort to defy his years and was bowling with genuine pace and lots of movement. Teversal put up the shutters 5 overs from the end but Linacre took the middle peg of the L Weightman in the last over to secure victory. A brilliant effort.
