Woodhall Spa 1st XI succumbed to a seven wicket home defeat to Grantham on Saturday in the Lincs ECB Premier League.After winning the toss, skipper Jack Luffman elected to bat first on another good batting surface and he would have been disappointed in his side’s total for just 200, particularly after being 145-3 at one stage and after a delightful and classy hundred form Prasanna Jayawardena.The innings started badly with both Ollie Caswell and Harsha Vithana both adjudged LBW but then 90...
