BROUGHTON WIN THE CUP IN STYLE


Brigg Blog offers congratulations to Broughton 2nds on winning a cricket trophy yesterday (Sunday, August 14).
They secured the Lincolnshire County League's Supplementary Cup by beating Caistor 2nds in the final, played at the Hirst Priory Ground, near Crowle.
Caistor were dismissed for only 50, as Broughton bowlers Paul Clark and Jake Parker managed five wickets apiece, with wicketkeeper Sam Benson holding three catches.
Broughton then took only 11 overs to reach their target without losing a wicket - Steve Johnstone finishing 37 not out.
Broughton 2nds and Caistor 2nds both won qualifying groups and then triumphed in semi-finals to progress to yesterday's decider which was hosted by the Outcasts club.
Yesterday's trophy-winning efforts completed a memorable weekend for Broughton 2nds; on Saturday they moved to the top of Division Three West by beating Barton Town 2nds who are also chasing the end-of-season championship pennant in Division Three West.
Hibaldstow 2nds' batsman Toby Carter hit 91 yesterday but finished on the losing side in a Mick Walker North Lindsey League Division Two game against Alkborough who have already clinched the championship.
Hibaldstow were bowled out for 214 - a total topped by the visitors with only four wickets lost.
