Match report.
Yorkshire 50+ vs Nottinghamshire 50+ held at Papplewick & Linby CC on Wednesday 13th June 2018.
Yorkshire 225-5 (Kevin Bradley 111, Steve Foster 96*) beat Nottinghamshire 224-6.
Yorkshire 50+ CC sought to continue their winning run when they took on a strong Nottinghamshire 50+ side away, at the beautiful Papplewick & Linby CC. The home side made a strong start, with a 101 opening stand between Cliffe (67) and Blatherwick (34), before, once again, spinners Jahangir (1/23), Burden (1/65) and Maroof (1/24) slowed the middle order scoring rate to close the innings at 224/6. Captain Steve Wales, with 2/41 together with some excellent fielding, contained the lower order 'big guns' to prevent a late onslaught on a very fast outfield.
In reply, Yorkshire got off to the worst possible start; losing 2 wickets (Gaywood and Jahangir), both without scoring, to Armstrong in his first over. This left the visitors facing a seemingly uphill struggle at 4 for 2. The response saw some magnificent cricket from Kevin Bradley (114) and Steve Foster (95*), who put together a stand of 186 to take the visitors to the brink of victory, which eventually came with four overs to spare!
