Only two games survived the wet weather on May 11 in the Amazing Smile North Lindsey League and both were played in Division Three, writes Glen Sands.
AMAZING SMILE NLL DIVISION ONE
The games at Brumby Hall between Appleby Frodingham and Alkborough, Haxey v Grimsby Town and Heslam Park where Scunthorpe Town were due to take on Broughton were all called off in the morning following heavy rain overnight.
AMAZING SMILE NLL DIVISION TWO
Caistor Cougars stole a march on the rest of the teams in Division Two when they were informed early that Everton were unable to raise a team to travel for their Sunday fixture which means the Cougars pick up the three points.
Meanwhile, Hibaldstow v Blyth CC and the much-awaited Isle derby between Outcasts and Luddington were called off through wet conditions which saw the points shared.
AMAZING SMILE NLL DIVISION THREE
Newcomers Bawtry CC were able to play against Upton cum Kexby and their subsequent victory lifted them to the top of the table. The visitors batted first, setting a target of 99 all out thanks chiefly to opener Birkett who hit 41.
Terence Rogers took 3 for 21 and Matthews 3 for 27 before Bawtry’s Morley guided his side to 100 for 2 when making 56 not out.
The one other game played to completion was at Normanby Park where Misterton were bowled out for 80 with Darren Emmingham hitting 44, Alan Dawson taking 3 for 22 and Alex Barratt 3 for 25 for Normanby who replied with 81 for 6 - Donnelly top scoring with 26.
Emmingham also picked up 3 for 26 for the Nottinghamshire side.
Messingham were due to entertain South Kelsey at Northfield Road but were informed on May 8 that Kelsey had withdrawn from the league due to lack of players.
