2019 Match Reports, (cont...)

5/9. V Richmond Yorkers. RY 109/6, HL 112/5. 2 wickets from Matt in the first over put RY on the back foot straight away. 2 more from Paul restricted RY to 109 from the 16 overs. In response 25's from Swainy and Kieran and 20 from James and 13 from Matt sealed victory with 14 balls to spare. A direct throw run out from Swainy and a catch and stumping for Steve.



29/8. V Richmond Yorkers. Our local rivals sporting new kit for our first meet of 2019, the seasons opening game having been rained off. HL put into bat and a flourishing start from Paul and Swainy as both hit 30's reaching 75 at the half way mark. The 2nd half of the innings returned just 51 runs, just Matt scoring double figures with 18, as HL ended up on 126/6 from the 18 overs. Yorkers started well, but lost their dangerous opener early, bowled to a Bicky mystery ball. No 3 batted well but was shambolically run out, the start of the Yorkers collapse as they lost 9 wickets for 27 runs. Their skipper, and Stokes look alike, also called Ben, and last man Lewis, couldn't quite replicate the heroics of Headingley, their skipper last man bowled for HL to win by 34 runs. A good game, HL played well, finishing up just as the pizza was delivered. Swainy 3 wickets for 15, Wendel 2 for 2, Parky 3 for 3. and 2 catches for Parky. Just as we thought that was it for midweek, another game has been arranged for next week.
