 Sweden 146, Norway 124. Sweden get through by 22 runs and go on to play the winners of Spain versus Belgium which is coming up in a few minutes, although unfortunately I have to head off to work now. Unfortunately that means elimination for the Norwegians apparently.

at the magical sleepy hollow, for gloucestershire quarter final in the national village club knock out.  where stapleton take on congbasbury.  this is 3rd tier vs 4 tier, with both plying their trade in the west of england premier cricket league. congresbury 87 for 4 after 13 overs. 40 overs aside.  both teams dareing to dream of a september final at lords.  32 regions, with 8 teams in each.   with the 32 regional winners making up the last 32. Yesterdays result from sleepy hollow, and an easy 164 run victory for congress bury. not totally unexpected as this was 3rd tier vs 4th, and the home side only having 4 first teamers available too. put into     congressbury mustered a seemingly below parr total  of 222 all out and only batted 36 of 40 overs. michael fisher, top scoring with  a belligerent 64 including 14 4s. next top scorer michael edmonds with 29. mani Bevan, 3 for 33, james slade, 2 for 34, will meller, 2 for 25  and ash bi...

at kay lane.  for huddersfield premier cricket league action.  almoddbury weslians vs shepley. 10th vs 9th. a win for either will guarantee premier division survival for next term, with teams being 6 and 7 points above the trap door positions, currently occupied by gulcar and armitage bridge. 2 go down in a 14 team league.   delfh and dobcross already relegated, and the all conquering hoylandswaine, champions yet again. 2 games to go including today.  loser of today's match may still have work to do to avoid the drop, depending upon other results.  shepley batting first on a warm and cloudy  day.   'result from kay lane, and shepley ensure premier league survival with a 111 run win over almondbury. batting first, they found it tough and slow going and were 82 for 3 off 28 overs before the acceleration commenced.  77 run partnership for 4th wicket took them to 130 for 4, but they then  subsided to 194 for 7, before a 34 run unbroken 8th w...

at the white swann ground, in the shadow of leeds bradford airport. for the priestley shield final. this is the knock out cup for 2nd teams in the bradford league and sees yeadon take on favourites jer lane.  yeadon have home advantage by luck as venues were decided for all league finals in february. strict rules  regarding who can and who cannot play, as there is a stand alone bradford league 2nd team comp, so no chance for ringers to infiltrate. jer lane are gunning for their 5th 2nd team trophy, having won all 4 2nd division comps since joining  the set up in 2018 from the halifax league but have never won the priestley shield.  and are about to retain their 1st div title too. yeadon also in top flight of 2nd team cricket. home side batting 1st, 46 for 2 on another glorious day in this indian summer. an interesting foot note being that yeadon have 2 brothers and their father all playing today, with dad lifting ! trophy in 2005, and his son simion the home side cap...
