Back to Season 2011

Wins for the Park's 1^st and 2^nd XIs on the same weekend are like red London buses – you wait ages for one then two come along at the same time.  So it was last Saturday when both teams recorded victories in differing circumstances.

At Clifton Park the absence of regular openers Big Bird and Neil Stephenson resulted in a new and youthful replacement pairing of Greg Drewery and Callum Robertson, the skipper's decision being fully vindicated as a first wicket stand of 63 placed the Park in a strong position after 20 overs.  The loss of Robertson (25) followed by Messrs Rook, Sam Medley and Beevers took the shine off the early exchanges, reducing the score to 94-4.  Drewery posted a half century before Richard Lindsay claimed his 4^th wicket , swiftly followed by his 5^th courtesy of Tom Medley's dismissal.  Lower order defiance from Ian Hodson (16) and Stephen Croft (13) added a degree of respectability but an all out total of 172 probably didn't have the York batsmen quaking in their boots, despite the slowness of the wicket

'Mr consistent' Dazzler Moody's second ball of the York innings was a good one because it bowled Horseman for a duck.  Dazzler continued to make inroads, cleaning up Sam Beales and Tom Clark (35).  A 4^th wicket partnership of 20 was curtailed by The Ginger One (3-22) who bowled off spin in tandem with Stephen Croft (3-40).  They made the most of the turning track, ripping out the middle order as new recruit behind the stumps Greg Drewery completing a good day with 4 catches, reducing the hosts to 77 for 9.  Stubborn resistance from 10 and Jack in the form of Hall and Steve Beales (25) prolonged the action until Dazzler increased his tally to 4, leaving promotional hopefuls York slightly embarrassed on 114 all out.

Another important win for the Britcom sponsored 1^st XI who head a cluster of 5 teams hoping to avoid the drop and who will be hoping to make it 3 on the bounce when they travel to bottom of the pile Osbaldwick this weekend.  The York match ball was kindly sponsored by Mr & Mrs Appleyard.
