A FLUCTUATING game saw Ribblesdale Wanderers won th e toss and chose to bowl,


g e t t in g o f f to a g o o d s t a r t w h en T e r r y Braithwaite had Pankaj Tr ipathi caught by Ia n B ritcliffe off h is second b a l l , a n d th e same bowler had Anthony Hall caught a t slip by David Howard.


, I t seemed th ^ t the gamble on opening with a


spinner on a small ground might pay dividends. A fine s ta n d of 90 between P h i l Metcalfe


and su b s titu te professional P au l Ridgeway eased th e home side’s fears.


Then Metcalfe smacked the ball off Bntchffe _


to mid-wicket, where Braithwaite dived to stop i t and returned i t to the bowler, who promptly ran ou t Ridgeway for a hard-hitting 48. _ Metcalfe followed for th e same score when


trapped leg before by paid man Gurinder P a l . Singh, who passed th e ou ts id e edge m an y times in his two spells.


. . . When Graham Monk took two wickets in


two balls to dismiss Marcus Gee an d Andy McNicholas, Padiham were struggling to get

unbeaten 23 got them to 189. Wanderers’ reply s tar ted terribly as Ridge-


way bowled with pace and was rewarded with the wicket of Mar tin Davies without scoring. Howard and Singh b a t te d almost leisurely,


adding 61 before a mix-up cost the amateur his wicket.


A t the half-way stage, th e locals lost Singh ,


for 28 a t 87-3 with 103 required from 21 overs. M ar tin Briggs and John R ain advanced the s co re to 111 w h en R id g ew a y a n d S e an

Whatley’s recent revival was ended by the Applegarth


side at Station Road as professional Jonathan Harvey and captain Stephen Hipgravc combined to cam their


side a 96-run win. Simon Gorton’s bowling provided a bright spot Tor


Whalley — he took 4-55 from 15 overs, but was let


down by the other bowlers. Whallcy won the toss and put Earby in and profes­


sional Jason Smith struck immediately to trap Chris Walton leg before for nought. The prolific Nigel Pickles joined Harvey and those


two set about laying the foundations Tor a big score. Pickles had made 32 by the lime he was stumped by


David Westwood off Gorton. Brother Andrew Pickles made 11, but he was followed by


Steven Rushton, who batted superbly for an unbeaten 42. Harvey raced to 50 olT 64 balls, hitting six fours and one six along the way, but was eventually bowled by


Gorton for 76. At the end of the 45th over Earby were jus t 120-4,


but enjoyed something of a run-blitz in the final 10 to secure a defendable score.


Skipper Hipgrave made ju s t two, but Simon Pickles made 21 before becoming another Gorton victim.. Matthew Wilson (nought) and Nigel Hodge (nought not out) did not contribute, but with Rushton on such


blistering form, they did not need to. The Earby number five punished the Whallcy bowl-,


ing, hitting four fours and three sixes, as he remained unbeaten on a score of 42 which hod taken him just


34 balls to compile. At the end of the 45th over Eorby were 189-7— they


had put on 69 in the last ten overs. Needing to score at a rate of ju s t over four an over,


Whalley never really looked like being the winning side. Hipgrave bowled superbly to take five wickets after


Harvey hod ripped out Whallcy’s opening pair cheaply. Only two Whallcy batsmen made it into double fig­


ures with Nick Keighley making 18 and Higginboth­ am top scoring with on unbeaten 21. Whalley’s prgress was painfully slow as they decided


to forget about winning and set their sights on prevent- ing Earby from claiming the bonus points. After 45 overs Whalley had made ju s t 93-9, scoring


a t a ra te of around two ru n s an over. Earby had bowled and fielded exceptionally to deny their oppo­


nents. Simon Gorton caught by Andy Holroyd. 17 81 r D. Checsbrough run out
