Woodhall Spa’s 1stXI returned with nine points from a losing draw at second placed Market Deeping in the Lincs ECB Premier League on Saturday which leaves the side sixth in the table, just eight points from top spot. It was a low key affair in the main and Spa were not quite at their best but would have been happy to restrict the home side to 193-9 from their 50 overs after the home captain Dave Gillet elected to bat first after winning the toss. It could’ve been even better for the Spa as they ...

On Saturday the 1stXI made the trip to 2015 Premier League champions Bracebridge Heath and were able to include Sri Lankan Test player Prassana Jayawardene in their line up for the first time this season. Skipper Jack Luffman won the toss and elected to bowl and may have been ruing his decision at the half way point of the home side's innings when the score stood at 151-1. Spa hadn't performed badly but were lacking some luck.

On Saturday the 1stXI traveled to the coast to take on Skegness in the Lincs ECB Premier League . Captain Jack Luffman handed League debuts to JP Prinsloo, Tanveer Sikander and 14-year-old Henry Wilson and when he lost the toss the home skipper didn't hesitate to ask the visitors to bat first in bowling friendly conditions. However, any home hope of skittling through the Spa line-up were quashed when openers Luffman and wicket-keeper Jack Timby put on an opening stand of more than 50 for the fir...
