Match Report

Worsborough battted first and made steady progress through T. Peace (25) and R. Peace (17). Sam French bowled well (3 Overs 1-7) before Jacob Brooke-Ashton (2-7) removed the middle order. Worsborough finished on a total of 87-5 from their 20 overs..

In reply, Stainborough got off to a good start with Sam Askey (25) and Matt Grimshaw (14) putting on 45 for the first wicket. Ben Armitage (13) also made good runs and in a position of needing just 19 runs from the last 7 overs, the result looked beyond doubt. However, fading light was to change the situation.

New batsmen found it difficult to see and the runs dried up. Two runouts did not help the cause and Stainborough still required 5 runs for victory off the last over, in near darkness. When Josh Rennison was runout off the last ball of the match, the Stainborough total was still 2 runs short of the target.
