Sandal Cricket Club

A depleted 1st XI made it 4 wins on the bounce yesterday at Hanging Heaton CC. Sole seamer Umar Abbas led the way with the ball taking 3-63 after the hosts were inserted on a green top.

The lads then masterminded the perfect run chase. Leighton Shuttleworth (59) and sheet anchor Sam Owen (36) prepared the base for Sohail Hussain (87) and Sasindu Malshan (47) to apply the toppings before the big artillery Umar Abbas and Denson Narayan rolled in to finish the job reaching the 273 target with an over to spare.

The 2s battled hard at The SCG with skipper Scott Fairbrass (72) leading the charge to rebuild the innings from 44/6 to post 161.

The lads fought to defend a modest total with Leigh Learie (5/64) and Lee Geldard (3/37) taking it to the wire but the visitors just made it over the line with 2 wickets to spare.

Two fantastic games of cricket and another marvellous social event back at the club later in the evening.

This Saturday sees the 1st XI make the short journey to Hanging Heaton CC with the 2s hosting the same club at The SCG.

Team news…this Saturday sees the 1st XI host Division 1 leaders Yeadon CC with an opportunity to close the gap whilst the 2s travel to Carlton CC looking to maintain their recent good form.

What an absolutely fantastic two days we’ve had at Sandal Cricket Club!

A huge thank you to the brilliant coaches from the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation for delivering such a fun, engaging and well organised camp.

The children have been amazing too. They have worked hard, supported each other, thrown themselves into every activity with smiles on their faces and been a real credit to themselves, their families and our club.

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the camp such a success. We hope you’ve all had as much fun as we have, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at the club again soon!

If your child has caught the cricket bug over the last couple of days and would like to carry on playing, we’d love to welcome them to Sandal Cricket Club. We have opportunities for children of all abilities, so just drop us a DM to find out more. 🏏
