Londesborough Park entertained league leaders Carlton
Towers last Saturday and produced another polished performance to
maintain their impressive start to the campaign.
Following heavy showers during the week the benefits of winning the toss
again and having first crack at the opposition with the new ball on a
slow track soon paid dividends when the ‘Ginger One’ bowled Wright for
8. The prized wicket of Coleman was claimed by opening bowlers Rich
Foster with the delivery and the ‘Ginger One’ with a well taken catch.
The Carlton batsmen, used to playing on a Tarmac road on their own
patch, then capitulated as Tissiman and Foster bowled unchanged in a 31
over spell which resulted in the opposition being dismissed for just
84. Even the odd long hop produced wickets as the batsmen failed to
come to terms with the conditions and the Park maintained their high
standards of catching and fielding.
The
condition were, if anything, slightly more testing when the Park
responded and despite a solid start by Big Bird and Sam Medley both
batsmen departed with the score in the twenties. Skipper Charlie Rook
dug in and was ably assisted by Sam Dodd, the pairing easing the Park
towards victory before Rook fell for a hard earned 36. No further drama
unfolded and another 30 points were safely banked.
The
Britcom boys are away this Saturday in their ‘feature fixture’ – the
County Ground, North Marine Road, Scarborough.
