GRINDLETON


Red rose win On Sunday Grindle- ton Cricket team took part in a Roses battle against York­ shire rivals Hebden


. Bridge. Grindleton skipper Crossland, " .who appears to have


' . mastered the art of ■ the toss, won yet ■ again and elected to bat first.


Wilkinson and Jack-


son are becoming a formidable opening


• pair for the home- : side. : ■ ■ Both batsmen got off • to a confident start with neither being particularly trou­ bled by the bowlers.


'Some aggressive stroke play from Wilkinson.brought up another half cen­ tury, while Jackson at the other end continued to play with a straight bat. The ■ partnership had reached- 98 when Wilkinson (56) was caught off the bowling of Anderson, who struck again four


‘ balls later to remove -Whittaker.


Middlebrough joined Jackson at the crease, and the pair set about building a partnership for, the home-side.


: A


boundary, through the covers brought up Jackson’s 50, as the batsmen contin­ ued to punish the bowlers. .


An unusually quick single brought up Middlebrough’s 50.


Jackson looked set to join the short list of Grindleton centuri­ ons but the overs ran out as the home- side finished on 226 for 3, with Jackson 93 not out. ■


The Grindleton open- ing bowlers soon made their presence felt, with the bats­ men struggling against the spin of Nuttall and the hos­ tile pace of Cherry. A mix-up between the batsmen, and some handy glove work from Raw, saw Wisbyrunout.


Two wickets from Cherry in as many overs, and one from Nuttall wiped out the top order, leav­ ing the visitors struggling on 29 for 4. Some brief resist­ ance from Allison (10) and Allenby (10) stalled the G r i n d 1 e t o n onslaught, but skip­ per Crossland was not to be denied; with 18 overs gone he brought Taylor into the attack. Crossland held on to two difficult slip catches.


The innings was final-


' ly brought to a close when Whittaker took a fine one- handed catch. Heb­ den Bridge were all out for 75. .
