Match Report

Stainborough got back to winning ways with a comprehensive victory over Yorkshire Main.

Batting first Stainborough made an impressive 230-5, with Paul Brown hitting an unbeaten 107 that included 14 fours and 3 sixes. Jonathan Pepper (30), Chris Hall (27) and Richard Umbers (26) had earlier got Stainborough off to a solid start. Dave Kershaw (18 not out) also made a useful contribution late in the innings. J. Hutt (3-38) was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors.

The loss of early wickets in the Yorkshire Main response left them struggling at 51-5. However, a useful partnership between G. Sykes (55) and S. Sykes (27) ensured that they reached a respectable 174 before being finally bowled out. Kershaw, Pepper, Mark France and Tom McInerny all picked up two wickets each for the hosts.
