Back to Season 2011

Britcom sponsored Londesborough Park's 1^st XI all but guaranteed their 2^nd division status when they hosted Whitkirk in a highly entertaining encounter last Saturday.

Rich Foster was at the helm once again and entrusted the new ball to Dazzler Moody and the 'Ginger One'.  A rare wicketless spell from Dazzler saw the visitors progress steadily to 45 with Murphy dominating the scoreboard until Tissiman struck twice in consecutive overs.  With the score on 118 Murphy (70) became Tissy's 3^rd victim.  Two catches by Greg Drewery behind the sticks took the strike bowler's tally to 5, interspersed with skipper Foster's dismissal of Walker, caught by Stephen Croft for 45.  Runs were at a premium as Foster continued to make inroads.  The innings concluded with 2 wickets in the final over including a run out from action man Tissiman as the visitors were dismissed for a gettable 185, thanks to senior pros Foster (4-38) and Tissiman (5-62 from 22 overs).

Following an early set back when Stephenson was bowled in the 4^th over, Big Bird and Sam Medley   proceeded merrily along until the latter was trapped LBW for 25.  James Hanley (13) and Ben Lewis accompanied Big Bird to take the score to 102 but two quick wickets without addition swung the contest slightly in favour of the Loiners.  However Tissy and Big Bird tipped it back towards the Park with a partnership of 38 before the latter's fine knock drew to a close on 65.  The Park's tail nibbled away but it was squeaky derrière time as the loss of Tissy (27) with 15 deliveries remaining and only one wicket in the bag set up a tense finish.  However it was smiles all round as youngster Stephen Croft and the skipper navigated the Park home on 168-9.

Just 3 points from this weekend's fixture at relegation haunted Pocklington will ensure division 2 status for next season.  The Whitkirk match ball was kindly sponsored by Wise Solicitors.
