Cricket Victory After the memorable inaugural Grindle- tonbury Festival weekend which fea tured the Dickens Cider Wrestler, the Duke of York fire walkers and live music from Stuart and the Barmpots the festivities were brought to an end with the cricket team beating Sabden on a cool and blustery Sunday afternoon in front of a poor crowd.
The old fox Ainsworth was once again cap tain in the ever wor rying absence of Crossland and after winning the toss elected to bat. Ainsworth supported by the Rhino soon got to grips with the
attack and put on 74 before Ainsworth was dismissed for 27. Doc Doherty came to the crease and runs continued to flow with by now the injured Rhino, how ever the Rhino hav ing bludgeon the attack fell to Harg reaves the pick of the Sabden bowlers for 60.
The unhappy Doherty fell for 49, a total confirmed after three recounts and after young bull "Becks" Taylor had smoked a quick fire 29, Grindleton headed for pavilion and the Rhino's tea and cakes
having amassed 198-4.
Both teams returned after the break but it was like a scene from "casualty" with each team fielding walk ing wounded. Sab den tried to fox the Grindleton team by sending out three batsmen but they quickly discovered one was a runner.
Pensioner Bamber struck an early blow
but Sabden were not for folding and they set about the Grindleton attack with Dunderdale (52) Hargreaves (31) and Jones(30) taking them in sight of vic tory, however they didn't allow for the mesmerising balling of "Becks". His skill of manipulating the ball left everybody in awe of him and his figures of 5-30 saw Sabden bowled out for 162 and ensured "Becks" his second man of the match award in a week.
Grindleton were also successful on Thurs day evening when Rhino junior led his team to victory over the Drakes.
