A round-up of the weekend’s cricket action…
Saturday 27th April – NYSD Division 2
Bedale 1st XI v Newton Aycliffe 1st XI – weather was overcast and cool. Bedale won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Newton Aycliffe 1st XI 186 all out after 49.1 overs
Adam Gittins 42, Sam Telford 33, Adam Randall 32 and Patrick Howe 20
Bedale 1st XI 184 for 6 after 49 overs
Michael Howe 2 for 45, Luke Telford 1 for 11 and Patrick Howe 1 for 29
For the second consecutive game, Newton Aycliffe’s first team could only manage a hard-earned draw, this time away at Bedale. Patrick Howe (pictured above, sponsored by Tom Steele) had a good day for Aycliffe, scoring 20 runs taking a wicket and also holding onto a catch. However, after three games, Aycliffe still await their first win of the season after two draws and one defeat.
Saturday 27th April – NYSD Division 4
Newton Aycliffe 2nd XI v Bedale 2nd XI
The 2nd team’s first game of the season got off to a damp start as their game was abandoned without a ball being bowled due persistent rain.
