Too cold for cricket. Hovingham match report

02 May 2015

Week 2 in the YDSCL and no sign of summer arriving on a Saturday in the 2015 cricket season.
 This week LPCC X1 hosted Hovingham at 'the park'.
Only 1 change to the team that travelled to Ripon with former skipper Rook(was his turn to drive last week) returning from a career threatening knee injury. 
Upon winning the Toss skipper Moody invited the visitors to bat first. 
Joe Shingles making his full debut for the first team after earning his stripes in Williamson's development 11, took the first ball with the ageing but still ginger Tissiman. 
With a couple of tentative first overs from the bowlers and the opening bats putting the bad balls to the boundary Joe claimed what will be his first of many wickets this season bowling Prest for 12. 
Not wanting to be out shone Tissiman claimed the scalp of 'Bowling', caught by Greg Drewery, his first of 4 caught behinds. 
The next 3 wickets fell to Tissiman whom bottled the chance of a hat trick with his standard short and down leg side delivery. 
Joe earned himself a well deserved 2nd wicket when Swann edged behind to Greg. 
 Skipper Moody replaced Joe and claimed his first wicket of the year, but with still carrying a little bit of Christmas excess weight decided it was time to take a breather after 6 long overs. 
Tissiman bagged his first 5for of the season with a clean bowled of Lund. Tissiman finishing with 5-20 of 12, bowled with great rhythm and also contributed to a run out. 
The final wicket falling to new recruit K-Breezy( Kieran O'Brian) bowling W.Lund for 10.
Hovingham all out for 50 after 27.4 overs. 
After Tea, little and large Phil and Harry marched out looking to see a 10 wicket victory, Phil in no mood to hang around in arctic conditions hit 36 of 45 balls saw the Park home to victory. Harry(10) with the scores level and playing the anchor to Phil at the other end lobbed a easy catch to mid wicket. 
LPCC knocking the 50 run target of in 12 overs. 
Next week we travel to Harrogate.
