Lincolnshire posted:
Lincolnshire County Cricket will again be hosting a one-off showcase game against our professional neighbours, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club . This year’s game will be staged at Cleethorpes Cricket Club's Chichester Road ground. The game serves as a fantastic opportunity for our players to showcase their skills against professional players and for Nottinghamshire, it provides a great opportunity to fine tune their 50 overs skills ahead of the Metro Bank, One Day Competition.
Nottinghamshire are expected to field a strong side as this game represents one of the few opportunities for players to push their case for selection ahead of the One Day campaign, last year’s game featured the likes of former England man Haseeb Hameed and England Lion, Dillon Pennington.
Lincolnshire will be looking for a repeat performance of last year which saw Lincolnshire successfully chase down Nottinghamshire plus 300 first innings total and Tom Keast’s men will be looking for another strong showing against a First Class County.
This years game also sees the return of professional cricket to Chichester Road, home to Cleethorpes CC. Cleethorpes have staged a number of first class and List A games in the past and there are few better grounds in the county to host such an occasion.
We hope you can join us by the seaside for this one off 50 over game.
Play starts at 11am on Monday the 14th July, entry is £6 for adults (payable on entry, cash or card) and free for under 16’s.
Lincolnshire CCC members also gain free entry on the day.
Food and drink will be available to purchase on the day and the ground is situated a short walk from the promenade.
Hope all goes well, one of 2 first class grounds I played on. Run out for 6, and we, Boots, lost to Cleethorpes CC, 1977.
ReplyDeleteSam Evans is playing for Leicester Ivanhoe in the Leics and Rutland Premier League. He has 874 runs in 11 innings (4 not out) at an average of 124.84, with three hundreds and seven fifties.
ReplyDeleteThank-you Anonymous with Cricket Archive subscription(?) or a big follower of LRPL, Ivanhoe or of Sam Evans. Perhaps all 4.
DeleteSam Evans average better than Bradman !
DeleteIt's great that Notts are playing Lincolnshire CCC again this year, and that they're taking a relatively strong squad too. It's also good to see one of county cricket's great lost outposts as the venue.
ReplyDeleteBut it is such a shame that the match couldn't have been played on a Sunday, like last year at Lincoln Lindum, with greater potential to draw a decent crowd and allow both LCCC and Cleethorpes CC the opportunity to showcase themselves to a fresh audience. Nevertheless, good luck to all involved.
