Match Report

Stainborough took advantage of good batting conditions to post a total of 216. Jonathan Pepper (85) and Chris Hall (60) put on a third wicket partnership of 122 to leave Stainborough in a strong position. In fact the final total was a little disappointing with no less than 5 wickets falling in the last few overs as wickets were sacrificed in order to boost the total. D. Lister was the pick of the bowlers taking 4-40.

An early break through was made in the Darton response, but then J. Morley (37) and G. Beaumont (29) survived a flurry of dropped catches to take the total to 77-1 at the innings mid-point. However, once they were dismissed only C. Geldart (43) offered any real resistance and Darton never looked like reaching their target. Dave Exley deserved better than his 1-38 off 14 overs, whilst Kevin Grimshaw took 4-33, Jonathan Pepper 2-15 and Ged McInerny 2-28 in the dismissal of Darton for 138.
