GREAT SCOTT BREAKS RECORD


> Rihhlesdale Wndrs 175 for 1 Cherry Tree 319 for 3 (5)


GREAT Scott Pearce, Cherry Tree’s Australian professional who started his Rihhlesdale


League career as an overseas amateur at Settle two years ago, smashed the 17-year-old league batting record on Saturday against Rihhlesdale Wanderers. He whacked his way to an


innings of 186 which included only one six, yet comprised of well over half of the team’s incredible one-day total of 319 — which also broke the league’s 53-year record for the highest innings total by eight runs. These are not nice statistics

the time of year and the hat­ tting track was pristine for a big


otal. After winning the toss, Cherry Tree elected to hat and that gave them a chance to knock up a big target for Ribb- lesdale to chase. They set about their work at a


sale to 175 at the close. Cherry Tree were disappointing in the field. Having set an unap-


pronchnble target, they then set a defensive field after the inter­ val despite being in a perfect position to attack.
