Mon - Fri 8.30 am - 5.00pm Sat 8.30 am - 12.00 noon ON a glorious sunny day at Bracken Moor, Stocksbridge first X1 entertained title chasing Parkhead. Stocksbridge captain Pete Broomhead won the toss and put the visitors into bat and after only two overs, the Stocksbridge opening bowlers of Joe Hibbert and Jake Vickers had removed both the Parkhead opening batsman in similar fashion - caught behind by the impressive young wicketkeeper Ben Lyons (five catches and a stumping). The Stocksbridge attack then took wickets at regular intervals with some hostile quick bowling leaving Parkhead scrambling to a
mere 90 all out in just 26 overs, with Joe Hibbert being the pick of the bowlers with five for 26 backed up by Jake Vickers’ two for 35 and then a wicket each for Jack Newton and Liam Grayson. Stocksbridge now having their lunch with scones and cream to finish knowing that a solid batting display would bring the 25 points home but after the fourth ball of the innings, opener Matt Price was walking back to the pavilion after being caught out, Anthony Siddall joined Jack Newton at the crease and that was the only sniff that Parkhead were going to have.
The league’s form batsman Jack Newton, who followed his 111 not out last week against Hallam, hit a solid 61 not out to send the visitors packing their bags at 5.30pm. Newton’s nine fours and three sixes were backed up at the other end by the classy Anthony Siddall who finished on 30 not out - a great overall team performance matched by the excellent teas and weather. Stocksbridge second X1 travelled to Whittington Wanderers with several players missing after winning the toss captain Chris Ogley elected to bat on what looked like a
pitch that was going to deteriorate over the game.

But unfortunately the Stocksbridge batsmen never really troubled the scorers and were unable to post a reasonable score for the bowlers to ball at.

They were eventually removed with only 56 with on the board. Eric Price was the only batsman to post double figures with 28, Whittington chased the score down comfortably with Mark Wingfield picking up the only wicket.
