| Match Report
Londesborough Park's senior teams experienced
differing fortunes 2 weeks ago.
The
1st XI entertained Heworth and were put to the sword by
opening batsman Ian Lynch who amassed 142 during his near 3 hour
occupation of the crease. The visitors posted 65 before Tom Eagling
intervened and Mark Tissiman produced a solid spell of 4-53 from 16
overs to prevent a complete rout. Skipper Charlie Rook would have been
pleased with his one over contribution which yielded 2 wickets at the
death.
Faced with a target of 236, The Park's reply lacked impetus from start
to finish as wickets fell with disappointing regularity. Only Ian
Hodson (30) and Pilot Nettleton (24) managed to offer significant
resistance as Bell and Forsdike, supported by their team mates who took
9 catches in all, shared 7 wickets. Tom Eagling plundered several
boundaries to finish unbeaten on 20 but the visitors proved too strong,
running out victors by 96 runs. The match ball was kindly sponsored by
Henleys Nurseries.
Heworth 235-7 (I Lynch 142, J Leaming 37, M Tissiman 4-53 Londesborough
Park 1st XI 139 (I Hodson 30, M Bell 4-50, T Forsdike 3-32)
