Match Report

Batting first, Stainborough posted a seasons best total of 294-5 despite having several regulars unavailable.

Chris Hall (94) and Kevin Grimshaw (70) took advantage of an excellent batting track to get the home side off to a great start with an opening partnership of 147 off just 25 overs. Richard Grange (44) and John Hall (41) continued the high rate of scoring to post an impressive total of 294. R. Ponder taking 3-70 for Askern.

A flurry of boundaries at the start of Askern's reply, signalled their intentions with N. Wilson (41) keeping up with the required run rate in the early stages of the innings. However, the regular fall of wickets set Askern back with Ged McInerny 3-42 and Luke Selwood 3-57 taking the wickets. When M. Wilson (68) was out stumped by stand-in keeper Richard Grange, dreams of reaching their target was over. Despite applying the pressure in the final overs, the batsmen held out to deny Stainborough maximum points and reaching 225-8 at the close.
