Shining the Light.
The cricket season is well in full flow after seeing the start of the hardball league begin. For the first half of the season, the Yorkshire W&G Cricket League will be playing Super 8s Hardball Cricket - where we have 15 teams across three regional divisions battling it out for the chance to be at the Super 8s finals day towards the end of the summer.
The weekend before last's fixtures were not a total wash out as we saw one completed fixture in the North/East section of the league between Tickhill and Yapham. A tightly contested game in terms of runs scored but it was Yapham who claimed the spoils by taking a few more wickets to win by at Net score of 14 runs. Standout performances from both teams with both bat and ball were Yapham's Robyn Childe - 17 runs off 15 balls and 1-12 off 4 overs, and Tickhill Captain Rachel Allen - 14 runs off 12 balls and 1-2 off 2 overs.
Despite the result, the ladies of Tickhill still had smiles on their faces and are learning the ropes very quickly in their first full season of hardball cricket in the YW&GCL.
