Results - Week 12

Week 12 once again saw both East Keswick teams victorious.

The first team travelled to Thorner Mexborough, and batting first the East Keswick bowling proved too strong for the hosts as they were bowled out for just 115. A low total however proved quite tricky as Keswick lost 7 wickets before reaching their target. The victory puts the first team some 12 points clear at the top of Division 2.

East Keswick A played Green Hammerton A at home. Green Hammerton won the toss and chose to bat first and despite some good bowling from both Andy Barber and Mohammed Ashfaq, they managed to avoid being bowled out whilst reaching a total of 140-8. In reply Keswick reached 22-0 before the loss of several quick wickets saw them tottering at 54-5. However an excellent sixth wicket partnership between Mohammed Ashfaq (57*) and Steve Skerrett (31) saw the target reached for the loss of six wickets and with plenty of overs to spare.

The victory leaves East Keswick just 3 points off the 3rd place promotion place and 5 points off 2nd place with an important game against top of the table Sherburn Eversley to come next week.
