With Brigg Town Cricket Club still to begin the 2021 season in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League, two other local sides made their first appearances yesterday (Saturday, April 24) as the fine weather continued.
Broughton's first teamers, two of whom hit half-centuries, enjoyed a very convincing 137-run home victory over Louth 2nds at the Scawby Road ground in Division One, while Hibaldstow lost when hosting Alford in the same section in a high-scoring game.
Broughton 2nds, playing in Division Two, were well beaten on their visit to Normanby Park. This was the second outing of the new campaign for Broughton who had also played on April 17.
Broughton v Louth 2nds: Broughton 224 (Graham Wilson 76, Richard Green 56), Louth 2nds 87 (Shaun Clark 4-13).
Hibaldstow v Alford: Hibaldstow 199 (Lee Robinson 45), Alford 203 for four.
Normanby Park v Broughton 2nds: Normanby 253 for four, Broughton 2nds 116 (Steve Johnstone 45).
