Cuckney 180 for 5.

It was decided to go for the target so Steers and I Twigg went out to score runs. Twigg was hitting well when a cross bat shot resulted in him being bowled for 10. Dave Lowton stepped up was straight in playing shots. Steers was building his score with good fours and quick singles. The run rate was being achieved when Lowton didn’t connect and was C&B for a good 24 which he deserved. At drinks we were 90 from 20 overs and still in there. Steers was bowled trying to up the runs and scored a creditable 45 and laid the foundations for the attack. Greveson came and started attacking from the off with a four from the first ball. Stu Houghton fell for 6 and this brought in Matt lowton. Greveson was striking very hard and the Cucney youngsters were getting out of the way rather than stopping it. Matt Lowton had his share and the score was edging closer when an excellent cutting ball bowled Greveson for 25. Partnership of 35. 137-5 41 needed. John Hendley couldn’t settle his nerves and went for a duck. Tony Cook supported Matt lowton who went on to score a fantastic 26before being bowled by Lucas. Rachael Gibbs ran herself out for 0 and Tony was bowled for 6. This left Gaz Wood And Twigg jnr to try to win the game but in the last over it was not possible so they blocked out for the draw. A very close game and well batted. Special mentions to the Antcliffe twins who both batted and bowled good away swing and are a talent to watch for in the future.
