Woodhall Spa CC’s 1stXI returned to winning ways on Saturday with a two wicket victory at Grimsby Town in the Lincolnshire ECB Premier League.Skipper Jack Luffman won the toss in favourable bowling conditions and was again justified in his decision as his opening bowlers of Jean-Pierre Prinsloo and Alfie Lindsey (1-12) took a wicket each to reduce the home side to 30-2.

Needing two to win from the final delivery Woodhall Spa’s final wicket pair of Connor Parsons and Jean-Pierre Prinsloo mustered the one needed to tie the game against rivals Boston in the Lincs ECB Premier League encounter. Both teams finished 217-9 from their 50 overs and each claimed 13 points. It was a topsy turvy affair and a game the Spa know they should’ve won as from 140-2 with more than 18 overs to go the game was well in control but a flow of middle-order wickets meant that the lower or...

Well done Paul Timby for being team of the week. Ann Luffman holds on to top spot for the fifth week in a row. Next weekend (including bank holiday Monday) is the next round of the cup.

It was a disappointing afternoon for Woodhall Spa’s 1stXI as they lost their first outtight game of the season to the Premier League’s bottom side Louth by three wickets. Batting first under cloudy skies the Spa batting line-up failed to deliver and posted just 170-9 form their 50 overs. A string of poor shots and wickets at regular intervals meant that despite being fairly well placed at 53-1 the innings never really got going despite another half-century from Prasanna Jayawardene.

Congratulations to self-confessed cricket hater Mason Hazard on being the team of the week. Shows what the rest of you know!!!! Interesting that Mason has also moved ahead of Jack Timby, someone who claims to know everything about everything!!!

The under-10 side claimed a narrow nine run victory over Hartsholme on Sunday morning. It was tense finale under the morning sun but the young Spa outfit claimed another victory to keep their season rolling on.
