Ribblesdale League latest

tember 6th. The enforced break offers the chance


to take a look at the performances of the local Senior League clubs just over half way into the season. The best placed side are Read, who lie in fourth position, 20 points behind lead­


ers Cheiry 'Ti-ee. The main factor behind their healthy


form has been professional Neil Brad­ shaw. The former Manchester Associa­


tion cricketer is the league’s highest run- scorer with 778 — almost 200 ahead of nearest rival Rudy Steyn, of Settle. Bradshaw has hit two centuries and,


backed by excellent support from Ste­ phen Rushton and Gary O’Connor, has helped Read overcome slight deficiencies in the bowling department. Ilattinx
