4th July 2013

An all round batting performance which saw us score 176 without anyone scoring a half cen- tury shows how far our strength in depth has improved as We posted an impressive total in the Kerridge Cup semi final. Most of the batsmen made useful contributions, the highlight be- ing the big hitting over the top of Doug Mulholland. Great Ayton with their cup pedigree must have thought this total was within their reach after Macmillan Cup Final success last Sunday. Jon Barnes and Doug Mulholland however bowled magnificently and the pair removed the home sides danger men before panic set in. An excellent fielding display despite two dropped catches made run scoring difficult for Ay- ton and they were bowled out for just 119 in 24 overs. A final awaits Darlington their first in this competition since 1997.

Man of the Match Performance by Doug Mulholland

The Final is due to be played on the 28th July but it may be changed as there is an U21 League fixture that day too. We will bring you the news when we know more. Marton and Richmondshire have still to complete their semi final so we don’t know our op- ponents yet. Fingers crossed for our first major silverware since 1997.
