Match Report

An opening partnership of 185 between Jonathan Pepper (104) and Chris Hall (84) put Stainborough in the driving seat in the top of the table clash at Sandal.

Pepper's second century of the season included 14 fours and 3 sixes, whilst Hall's innings included 15 boundaries. Mark France hit 28, but the strive for quick runs saw no less than four wickets fall in the last three overs of the innings to leave a final score of 247-7. S. Khan taking 4-70 for the home side.

Sandal never looked like achieving their target and were out of the game at 59-6. Excellent spells form Dave Kershaw (3-29), Phil Campbell (3-24) and France (2-39) restricting the hosts. Sandal's hopes of hanging on were dashed when Luke Selwood and then Hall took wickets to dismiss Sandal for 138 with just two overs remaining.

The win sees Stainborough open up a 14 point lead at the top of the league, with Sandal remaining in second place.
