Despite subsequent events East Keswick A put in an excellent performance last Saturday against top of the table Sherburn Eversley to earn an exciting draw.
Winning the toss and putting Sherburn into bat East Keswick ripped through the top order thanks to some excellent bowling from Mohammed Ashfaq (4-53) reduced Sherburn to 30 for 4 wickets. Thereafter some excellent batting propelled Sherburn to 218-9 after their 45 overs with Ashley Richardson taking 2-35.
East Keswick's response got off to a poor start as Sherburn's bowling reduced them to 92-5 until a dashing 96 from Ashley Richardson and a well controlled 41* from Neil Chapman (including 27 singles!) kept them in the game. In a tense final over with East Keswick requiring six runs to win Steven March (11*) hit two scrambled runs off the final ball to earn a draw.
