Summary of team batting second innings:

Kirkheaton were unbeaten and had some very strong batters in their team. Right from the off they attacked the ball and some powerful hitting brought numerous boundaries. Our bowling was good but was let down by some inconsistent fielding – something to work on at future practices!! David Wallwork took the only Kirkheaton wicket to fall – well done David. Kirkheaton ran out comfortable winners, passing the Thongsbridge total in 16.2 overs.

Final innings score;                  126 for 1

Result:                                  Kirkheaton 3 points
