Meanwhile, in local cricket, there was a real run fest at Hibaldstow - a renowned batting 'track' - with visiting Lincoln side Hartsholme piling up a massive 309; all scored by their opening pair!
Mike Hale finished unbeaten with 170 and Ed Bodsworth was 117 not out as eight Hibaldstow bowlers failed to take a wicket between them in the permitted 45 overs.
The villagers responded with 170 for nine - opener Josh Cowling and Joe Taylor scoring 59 and 46 respectively. They put on 106 for the first wicket.
Few, if any, Lincolnshire League games since the competition's formation in 1963 have seen triple-century and a century opening partnerships on the same afternoon!
In contrast, Broughton were somewhat short of runs when hosting Messingham - being bowled out for 133 which the visitors bettered with three wickets in hand. Nick Dobbs scored 40 for Broughton, while Shaun Clark later took two for 17 in 10 economical overs.
Brigg Town's home game with Scunthorpe Town 3rds at the Recreation Ground in Division Three was called off late last week, and Broughton 2nds were without a scheduled fixture in Division Two yesterday. They will be hosting Normanby Park at the Scawby Road ground this afternoon, Sunday (1.30pm start).
