TWO WINNERS

By Brian Sanderson,

To-day I returned to East Bierley who were playing in The ECB National Club Championship against Hyde who play in the Cheshire County Premier League.

In the scorecard it shown the name Oliver Ashford but he had been injured at Blackley on Monday playing for Huddersfield New College . He was replaced by D.Abbott who played in the second team.Hyde won the toss and decided to bat .The first ball from Hutchinson bowled Twiney without playing a shot.When Robert James Joseph Woolley came in the score was 63 for 4.He plays for Lancashire Seconds and is right hand bat and right arm medium bowler.His age is 20 and was born in Ashton under Lyne.He finished on 140 not out with 19 4,s and 2 six,s.The Hyde total after 45 overs was 271 for9.The best bowler being Goddard , taking 3 for 53 in his nine overs.East Bierley stuggled to get a good fifth bowler.

After tea East Brierley lost there first six wickets for sixty in thirteen overs.Woolley taking three wickets.There was some excellent catchs taken .When I left East Bierley they were 165 for 9. Looking at the computor and total scorer the score had not moved.Something wrong with the web-site.

During tea I won a bottle of wine in the raffle which will go to prize at Wombwell Cricket Society during the winter.
