Cricket score On Sunday Grindleton Cricket team played their annual interna­ tional fixture against Haddington, with the Celts coming south of Hadrian’s Wall intent


' on giving their Sasse­ nach cousins a good pasting.


Once again Hargreaves had prepared a good Tvicket for the match and after inspecting it with the opposition skipper. Crossland promptly lost the toss and Haddington decided to bat first. Grindleton took to the field with enthusi­ asm and while many members of the crowd


. were disappointed not to to see their local hero Ainsworth on the field, they were gladdened to know it was not due to anoth­ er self-inflicted injur}’.


Robinson and Wilkin­ son opened the bowl­ ing for the home-side and both proved a handful for the bats­ men. With the Rhino storming in from the park end and Robin­ son swinging the ball viciously from the Chatburn end, runs were hard to come by. With 16 overs gone, the visitors were 39 for two with Robin­ son 1 for 19 and Wilkinson 1 for 20 off their respective eight overs. Haddington upped the run rate, but the wickets con­ tinued to fall. A part­ nership of 43 between Prenter and Cruick- shank took the score past 100 before Tay­ lor had Prenter(25) caught by Mills to leave the visitors on 109 for 5. Kumar came to the crease and immediately set about the bowling attack, smashing six boundaries in an innings of 40, putting on 68 with Cruick- shank (75) before becoming Taylor’s second victim. At 176 for six Haddington were well in control, but four wickets in five deliveries, two each from Briggs and Entwistle, left the game evenly poised with Haddington all out for 180.


Grindleton were rea­ sonably satisfied with their performance despite several missed ' catches it was a good


effort to restrict Haddington to 180.


The home-side got off to a flying start with Hutchinson and Robinson putting on 32 in the first five overs before Robinson was trapped by Haddington skipper Bell. Wilkinson (10) and Hutchinson pushed the score past 50 before Wilkinson became Bell’s second victim. Grindleton’s early confidence took a blow when skipper Crossland was out for eight.


At 67 for three, Taylor joined Hutchinson at the crease. Taylor, in no mood to hang around, let loose on the Haddington attack, swinging the bat like an extra from Braveheart. Taylor hit six sixes and a four in a magical innings of 58. Scoring the lion’s share of the runs in a partnership of 73 with Hutchinson.


At 140 for four, and with Hutchinson (50) still at the crease the home-side were well on top, Haddington brought Hill into the attack and Grindle­ ton’s chances of victo­ ry disappeared. Six wickets fell for 11 runs,' leaving the home-side all out for 151.


Afte a swift pint in the Duke of York both sides were fed, watered and enter­ tained royally at the home of John and Jill Mills. The Hadding­ ton boys enjoyed the evening so much they were bowled out the- following day by Rolls -Royce for 36.


Grindleton’s man-of- the-match was Taylor whose 58 will long be remembered by the large crowd who attended.


This weekend Grindle­ ton close the season with a double header, with games on Satur­ day and on Sunday, both at home.
