RESULTS WEEK 10 ⭐️
The 1st XI continue their unbeaten start to the league campaign with a win over Cononley Cricket Club.
Batting first, everything looked to be going wrong at 7/2 before Tom (58) and Matt (26) attempted to rescue the innings. All out for 121 looked like a tough total for the bowlers to defend, but my word, did they get the job done!
Shahbaz (5/32) and Haseeb (4/29) opened the bowling and set about dismantling the Cononley top order. Aqib finished the job with the final wicket as Long Lee secured victory by 19 runs.
The 2nd XI faced an ever-difficult Denholme Cricket Club side who, from ball one, started attacking the Long Lee opening bowlers. As 3rd change, the ever-reliable Yasser stepped up to quash what could have become an even more destructive innings, taking 5/44 from his 10 overs. Two wickets for Sultan and one each for Zakki and Danny helped restrict the visitors to 259 from their 40 overs.
Tom and Moeez opened the batting with respectable totals of 12 and 18, setting up a slim chance of a Long Lee victory. Adheel came in at number 5 and batted superbly given the circumstances, finishing on 43. As the batting effort fizzled out, we were reduced to 108 all out, suffering defeat by 151 runs.
Plenty of positives can be taken despite the loss. It was a resilient performance from a team that remains high in spirits as we head into next week.
The 1st XI face Wilsden in a top-of-the-table clash, while the 2nd XI travel to Bradford And Bingley CC.
We’d also like to mention our T20 fundraiser for SpecialEffect on Sunday 28th. BBQ, cricket, prizes, and more. Together, we can change lives!
