Michael Hodgkins scored a match-winning century on Saturday, making a superb 108 from 134 balls to set up the Second XI’s victory away at Sandal.

A true club stalwart, Michael has taken on the role of opening batter this season and has thrived, already amassing 335 runs in a superb start to the campaign.

A fantastic contribution from one of Carlton’s finest servants. 💚🏏

Carlton U13s extend lead after nail-biter against Colton

On Wednesday the U13s hosted an excellent Methley team in the Heavy Woollen League. Despite some good bowling Methley posted a target of 193/1. In reply Ben Bragg scored his first 25* retirement earning Player of the Match, with support from Ben Broadbent, but ultimately Methley had too many to chase.

On Friday the U13s welcomed Colton in a top-of-the-table clash in the Leeds & Wetherby League. Aahil Ilyas got Carlton off to a fantastic start with 26 off 20 balls. Colton’s bowling made it difficult for the middle order to score runs, but a useful partnership between Will Dobson and Abdullah Sarfaraz pushed the total up to 98. To win the game Carlton needed to be excellent with the ball, and got off to an amazing start with Will Ward and Harrison rocks taking 5 wickets in the first 4 overs. Colton did well to get themselves back into the game and got on top towards the end, but Will and Harrison came back to each take another wicket in the final overs to win the game by 4 runs, each taking 3 wickets in the game, with Will taking Player of the Match, and Carlton remain top of the league!

On Sunday the U9s played at home to Scarcroft CC. Scarcroft batted first with two strong opening pairs setting the pace. Some tight bowling with maidens from Oliver Pakes and a wicket maiden from Shah Qasim kept the score in control. Carlton batted well in reply, but unfortunately a few catches from Scarcroft saw Carlton miss out on the win by 12 runs. Player of the Match went to Thomas Plant with some excellent fielding getting two run outs and a stand out batting performance of 29 including five 4s.

Well done to all teams!
