BROUGHTON & HIBALDSTOW CRICKETERS IN SUNDAY ACTION


Hibaldstow Cricket Club's fine cup run came to an end yesterday (Sunday, July 26).
They lost away to Barton Town in a Bob Welton Cup semi-final - this knockout competition being organised by the Lincolnshire County League.
Hibaldstow were dismissed for 108 - opener Josh Cowling top scoring with 19.
Barton then raced to victory, losing only two wickets in the process.
Broughton 3rds had a home match in Mick Walker North Lindsey League Division Two yesterday but lost by six wickets to leaders Alkborough in a high-scoring clash.
Broughton's all-out 190 included 66 from Ben Fish and 32 by Sam Hayton.
However, Alkborough opener Sam Brown's unbeaten 103 saw the visitors win with more than seven overs to spare.
Broughton remain at the foot of the table after four league fixtures.
Saturday side Broughton 2nds will be journeying into the Isle of Axholme to Outcasts' impressive ground near Crowle on Sunday, August 14 to meet Caistor 2nds in the final of the Lincolnshire League's Supplementary Cup.
