Patrington 3^rd XI – 81 all out
Hutton Cranswick – 37 all out

Patrington won by 44 runs

After last week’s low scoring nail-biter Patrington’s third team managed to double their runs this week, but produced another expert bowling display to bowl hosts Hutton Cranswick out for just 37.

Batting first Patrington were soon in trouble as captain Andy Guy (2) and Will Ineson (2) went cheaply, but Matty Rowbottom and Billy Ineson settled the side with a partnership that saw off the opening bowlers. Batting was hard on a wet, grassy wicket but Rowbottom and Ineson showed good application taking the score to 36 before Rowbottom (14) was caught behind. 13 year old Ineson continued to show real grit and shared what was probably a match winning partnership with James Nettleton shared a partnership of 32 for the fourth wicket in ten overs before Nettleton was at mid-off for 13. Ineson was then left to try and build a defendable total as wickets fell regularly at the other end, the last six wickets falling for just 13 runs, however the youngster was left unbeaten on 18 in an innings spanning 28 overs that saw the young player bat with great courage and maturity.

Defending 82 but knowing they needed only eights against nine-man Hutton Cranswick Patrington needed early wickets. Shaun McKinley and James Nettleton shared the new ball and found help from track with McKinley taking a wicket in his third over from a ball that spat of length and looped to Matty Rowbottom at short mid-off. Nettleton (bowling up hill and in to the wind) was getting massive movement through the air and off the track and induced an edge in the next over that was pouched by keeper Danny Fincham for his first victim in senior cricket. Cranswick then produced a mini fight back as number 4 Bradshaw (14) bashed a few back down the track, but another class delivery by Nettleton (3/8) accounted for his partner and then a couple of balls later Rowbottom held a sharp catch at short mid-on as Cranswick slipped to 26 for 4. Next over McKinley (2/11) removed the dangerous looking Bradshaw with toe crushing yorker and Patrington began to sense another victory. Matty Purdon (1/3) and Ben Butler (1/2) came in to attack and took a wicket each before Alex Rowbottom (1/5) finished the innings holding on to a caught chance in his first over. Cranswick finished on just 37 giving Patrington a victory by 44 runs.

Patrington U13’s – 97 for 4
Fenner U13’s – 60 all out

Patrington won by 37 runs

Patrington’s U13 side won their second game of the summer on a wet Friday evening at Southside. Batting first each of Patrington’s side chipped in towards a total of 97 with Jed Foster (14*), Billy Ineson (10*) and Kieran Finnigan (10*) each making double figures.

Patrington defended their total expertly showing great discipline in their bowling and good fielding skills. Billy Ineson (2/3), Bob Eldon-Smith (2/4) and George Ineson (2/6) each taking a brace of wickets. There were also wickets for Liam Murrey (1/7) and Duggie Saxton (1/2). In the field Murrey and Eldon-Smith each took a catch and Jed Foster and Billy Ineson both capped fine all round games by adding run outs. Danny Fincham produced another talented display behind the stumps with three stumpings.

The U13's next play on Friday night away at Hull.

The U13's have drawn Beverley in the ECB National Cup, this match will be played the week commencing Sunday 27th May.

Patrington U11’s – 104 for 7
Zingari U11’s – 84 for 8

Patrington won by 20 runs

On Sunday morning the U11’s won their first game of the year with a 20 run victory at Cottingham. Batting first Patrington passed a hundred for the first time this year with runs from captain Duggie Saxton (10) and Dylan Harman (10*) with help from Adam Smith (8), Jed Foster, Jack Cross and Mckenzie Harman (5 each) and a number of extras.

Chasing 105 for victory Patrington put in a much improved bowling performance to see their opponents fall 20 runs short of their target. Only Ross Parker (31*) made double figures for the home team as Patrington took wickets at regular intervals to slow their opponents down.  Adam Smith (2/12) took two wickets and Duggie Saxton, Jack Cross, Jacob Newton, Jess Saxton and Harry Newton all took a wicket. The fielding was good as Duggie Saxton and Jed Foster both held good catches to cap of a good day for the U11 side.

The U11's next play a week on Tuesday with a home game against Hornsea (side to follow soon).

Many of the regular fans and supporters of the Holderness side will do well to remember such a one sided game. Yapham lost the toss and skipper Stew Guy asked them to bat first. Credit once again must go to the groundsman Shaun McKinley for his hard work in getting the ground fit for play when many other fixtures had fallen foul to the weather.

Craig Foster and Sam Stockdale opened the bowling, and in little to no time Yapham had collapsed to 21 all out. Foster picked up 5 wickets for just 10 runs and Stockdale returned with 4 wickets for just as many as the pair ripped through the visitors batting order in an excellent spell of new ball bowling. Foster himself, Buss and Jamie McKinley all took catches in a game that is unlikely to have happened before, and no doubt will ever happen again. McKinley bowled a solitary over and also got in on the act picking up a wicket in an innings that was over so quickly that it was decided that tea would not be taken and that Patrington would bat straight away.

Marc Pollard and Jordy Critchley were at the crease when the winning runs were hit, with Buss being the only casualty as he looked to finish the game within the first few overs. At 14:56, the game was done and dusted as Patrington completed a remarkable win.

In truth, Yapham had not travelled with their strongest side, however with Foster and Stockdale in such form it is doubtful as to whether that would have made any difference.

Stew Guy has made some changes due to players unavailability for this weeks visit of Heworth, but will hope his side keep their early season momentum going.
