Weekend review
The 1st XI extended their gap at the top of the league, the 2nd XI pick up 8 points in a good performance against a top Div 2 side and the 3rd XI continued their good showing in the North Lindsey League.
The 1st XI got revenge for their opening day defeat to Broughton Cricket Club - Lincs by picking up the 20 points and extending their lead at the top of the league. After losing the toss the priorymen were soon 16 for 3 after some very sharp bowling from Jack Johnstone and a mix up run out but Ollie Ounsley and Matthew Teal steadied the ship very well until drinks. Mattew got out for 25 not long after but Ollie stepped on the gass and a wonderful 50 turned into a magnificent century hitting 5 6s and 15 4s to finish on 136 not out and sit alone at the top of the club century hitters. The final score for the 1st XI was 211 for 7 and looked a very good total in the conditions.
Both bowling openers liam and Brett picked up early wickets to leave Broughton 7 for 2 before a great couple of overs by Liam and Albert picking up 3 wickets in 2 overs, including 2 from 2 by liam and Broughton were struggling at 55 for 5. Steve Johnson batter very well despite being injured to get 61, backed up very well from the tail and Broughton were getting closer and closer to the target. Some very good death bowling from Ollie and Deol got us over the line and Broughton finished 29 runs short. Well done to Broughton for the game and thanks to the Thatch at Broughton for welcoming Outcasts back and putting food on.
The 1st XI now sit 6 points clear at the top of Div 1 with a game in hand over the other top sides.
For the 2nd XI it was a very good performance against a side that narrowly missed out on promotion last season and 8 more points picked up in their relegation fight. Bowling first the 2nd XI stuck to their guns against some good batting, with Brad King and Jase Whitley picking up 2 wickets and Graeme Fletcher, Benj Whiteley and Brandon Mclurey picking up a wicket a piece to keep Grimsby to 228 for 8.
The 2nd XI batted well and was well withing the run rate throughout the innings but lost wickets at the wrong time. Martin Davey went for 28, Brad King 33 and Adam Wroot hit a very well deserved 61 to get the 2nds within 50 runs of the target. The tail didnt get over the line though and we fell 44 runs short.
For the 3rd XI it was one of our youngest sides out in the North Lindsey league and they batted, bowled and fielded very well to only lose by 55 runs, but picked up full batting points for the second week in a row. Tristan, Oliver, Brett Smith and Martin Davey picked up wickets but a superb century from Issac O'Neill got Appleby Frodingham to 228.
Davey picked up his 6th 50 of season, Ashton Wroot batted very well for 36 and Henry Holland score 15 but we fell 55 runs short in the chase.
