Match Report

Stainborough comfortable beat bottom club Yorkshire Main, but it had looked unlikely earlier in the afternoon.

Having been put into bat, Yorkshire Main got off to a flying start with opener A. Hutt (53) attempting to hit a boundary off almost every delivery. At 91-2 in only the 16th over, a huge target was on the cards. However, superb bowling spells from Chris Hall (2-25) off 14 overs and Dave Kershaw (4-41) off 14 overs brought the scoring rate back to normality. Only J. Henry 42 offered any real resistance and when he was the final wicket to fall the total had reached 148. Kevin Grimshaw (3-39) took the final wickets to bring some respectibility back to his figures.

Stainborough never looked in danger of falling short of their target in their run chase. Alistair Gilfillan (18) putting on 35 for the first wicket, before Richard Grange (49) smashed five fours, and two massive sixes in his aggresive innings. Jonathan Pepper (13) and Chris Hall (23) added good runs before Ged McInenery (20 n.o.) completed the victory with 10 overs to spare.
