Ribblesdale League: Harvey's men set the pace
Lancashire Evening Telegraph
CHAMPIONS Padiham are among the early pacesetters of the Jennings
Ribblesdale League.
Five games beat the weather and Padiham's comfortable victory over
Oswaldtwistle Immanuel made it two out of two for professional Mark
Harvey and his men.
Great Harwood professional Shantanu Sugwekar hit 53 out of a total of
90-7 in their rain affected match against Settle. Fellow Indian
Surendra Bhave was also in good early form for the Dalesmen with an
unbeaten 54 in a total of 91-6. Harwood fell two runs short of their
victory target but took the five points on a faster run-rate.
Ribblesdale Wanderers are the third side with two wins out of two.
Sub pro Gary Keedy helped restrict Edenfield to 99-6 and Ribblesdale
reached their target for the loss of seven wickets.
Clitheroe's Mick Dewhurst took advantage of a helpful track at Read
to claim 5-57 in dismissing their hosts for a respectable 132. But
Clitheroe made it home with the loss of five wickets.
The performance of the day came from former Whalley pro Jason Smith.
He claimed eight Blackburn Northern wickets for 72 in the highest
scoring game of the day. A fine 87 from Darryl Redhead was backed up
by 62 from another former Whalley professional, Mark Fallon, in a
total of 191-5. Northern put up a spirited response, lead by 74 from
Neil Weaver, but the reply ended up 20 runs short with nine wickets
down. The games at Earby and Baxenden were both abandoned without any
play.
