Copley CC

On Saturday away at Ludd-Foot Olly Brooks recorded his career best figures of 6 wickets for 9 runs in a truly remarkable spell of bowling. Not forgetting his 56* not out too, a day to remember.

Results from the weekend’s round of fixtures.

Another date for the diary, following last nights cup draws we have been drawn away at Mount in R3 of the Parish Cup.

Matthew Rowles and Will Rushton’s 151 4th wicket stand on Sunday is one of a number of 4th wicket stands, here are just a few notable ones for the first team.

Down at the Arches, Copley entertained Upper Hopton in the Parish Cup R2. Copley batted first and, after losing three quick wickets, Will Rushton 106 and Matthew Rowles 83 set about posting a score. With a 4th-wicket partnership of 151, they did just that, ending up on 253/6 and on a high going into the second innings.

During the second innings, some fine bowling by Olly Thorpe 5-31 and Inshal Dar 4-33 saw Upper Hopton bowled out for 222.

Copley now enter the final 8 of the Cup, and the draw will take place tomorrow night.

Teams for another action packed weekend with four games taking place.

The first team look to keep the momentum going against high flying SBCI and Upper Hopton in R2 of the Parish Cup.

The second team look to get their first win of the season at Upper Hopton and the Sunday's away at Warley and Elland against Lightcliffe, with a youthful side with two debutants looking to keep the momentum going leading into cup Semi Final.

Two new player sponsors for Copley, with thanks to Fleetondemand and J Greenwood properties.
