No surprises, no change
by Steve Spencer, 11th November 2006

No surprises on Sunday as all the higher placed teams beat their lower placed rivals to leave the league positions with no change. With only 3 weeks left it is still possible for any team to make the top six and put themselves in the end of season play-offs.

Clowne's Matt Lineker was top scorer on the day with 29, but it was in vain as league leaders Blidworth march on towards the Sunday title with a three wicket win. Bawtry needed 30 to win in four overs against Cowboys, before a devastating spell of bowling by Dave Hunt, taking 4 for 10 in 3 overs, left them 12 short on 72 all out. Pilsley's captain Steve Drury led his side to a three wicket win over close neighbours MGT with 20 not out.

The only game on Monday ended with Barmy Army beating The Mafia by four wickets, despite Abbey Hawkins, with 39, and Ash Randall, on 24, making 63 out of Mafia's total of 67 all out. Ben Wright led from the front with 22 not out in the Army’s reply.

On Wednesday, free scoring Shirebrook were held to 102 for 6 by Walesby, but their 100% record was never in danger as Walesby slumped to 30 all out in reply. Done & Dusted are the only team in all the leagues yet to win, but the youngsters keep trying and gave Tricky Trees some problems before they reached the 71 target with four wickets in hand. Shireoaks won the game of the night by 11 runs over Blyth and a play off spot looks on the cards with only two weeks to go.

Cheers Steve
