Match Report

Unbeaten league leaders Barnsley, were put into bat and got off to a great start hitting 3 boundaries off the first over. All the batsmens looked in good form and only tight bowling restricted the score. However, the lack of wickets ensured that the final target was an impressive 295.

Stainborough showed their fighting spirit with partnerships of 25 between Curtis Parker & Matthew Grimshaw, and 35 between John Stones and Elliot Mann, keeping the game alive. However, as the last pairing went in search of the 30 runs needed for victory, the loss of 3 wickets ended any hopes of reaching the target.

The Stainborough team should be proud of putting up an excellent performance against a very good side.
