In spite of the widespread showers, all six games reached positve conclusions:
At the 2bm Ground, a fine around performance by Kimberley's Dominic Brown (63*, 3-34) saw off Hucknall by 34 runs. A useful work-out too for Liam Patterson-White (35, 1-31). Sam Wood made 71 before Brown derailed the visitors.
At Papplewick Hall, Luke Fletcher (76) top scored for the hosts as they had a comfortable win over Caythorpe by 93 runs.
At The Bear Pit, another dominent 81 runs win for Cuckney over visitors Mansfield Hosiery Mills; James Hawley top scoring with 92 and star with the ball was Nic Keast 3-11 where Jack Blatherwick also sent down 5 overs.
At Plumtree, visitors Wollaton came away with a 55 run win. Wollaton's Nicky Kirkwood top scoring with 70, Ben Compton and Albert Carter each picking up 3 wickets a piece for the hosts but Sam Humphries' 5-21 helped up root Plumtree for just 117.
Clifton Village came away from Radcliffe on Trent with 6 wicket defeat in a low scoring game. Adam Shepherd top scored 51 for the visitors who were 159-9 after 40 overs, Radcliffe using 8 bowlers. Radcliffe reached their target in the 32nd over.
At the Strand in Attenborough, Carrington and Cavaliers showed that they were too strong for their hosts with 155 run win. Shiv Thakor 64 and Adam Tillcock 61 for the Cavs in their 223-6.

A Nottsview regular said that the over the top sanitising every 6 overs meant that it took 3 hours to bowl 40 overs and that with the pavilion out of bounds, spectators had no where to retreat to once the rain arrived.

Sanitise every 10 overs, do away with the drink breaks
ReplyDeleteWas good to hear the sound of bat on vector again and catch up with one of my cricket mates in the process who was also at The Strand last Saturday. Yes, any precipitation is a big problem. The online guide said there's basically no cover(fair enough they're NPL grounds after all and to return to your vehicles for cover. One slight problem, I like others don't drive and rely on public transport so that directive is a touch on the difficult side.
