Division 1 Action
Another round of action in The Northern Cricket League, brought up more centuries, with John Huck hitting an unbeaten 120 in Netherfields home win over Carnforth and Leylands Henry Thompson hitting 101 in the draw with Fleetwood.
The centuries were the start of a lot of fantastic action throughout the whole league, in another fruitful day for Fleetwood, Barrow, Netherfield and Morecambe!
Heres my review of all the weekends league action throughout division 1 and division 2
Netherfield v Carnforth:
Netherfield are just 2 points behind league leaders Fleetwood after another emphatic performance in their 167 run victory over Carnforth at Parkside Road.
The hosts were put in and started slowly as Ben Haddrick fell for 0 after being bowled by Adam Cowperthwaite, Carnforth then had Netherfield down at 24-2 after Professional Cobus Pienaar was caught by Toby Bulcock off Lewis Bradley's delivery.
However a 3rd wicket partnership of 66 between Marc Brown (61-100 balls), and Chris Williams (32-37 balls), steadied the ship as Netherfield took control of the game.
Once Carnforth professional Toby Bulcock bowled Chris Williams, Netherfield stayed in control with a 4th wicket partnership of 70 between Marc Brown and John Huck.
Despite Marc Brown going for a useful 61, both John Huck and John Mason saw the innings out with Huck reaching his century as Netherfield posted a score of 272-4 off 50.
In reply, Netherfield got off to the perfect start as Ryan Nelson went for 0 following a catch from John Huck from the bowling of Cobus Pienaar.
