OFF DAY FOR BROUGHTON AND HIBALDSTOW CRICKETERS



There were disappointing results for Broughton 1sts and for Hibaldstow 1sts in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League yesterday (Saturday, August 27).
Mid-table Broughton lost by three wickets in a Division One derby at third-placed Messingham.
All-rounder Shaun Clark hit 35 for Broughton but they were bowled out for 151 and conceded some overs to their hosts.
Young Jack Johnstone (four for 31) then got among the wickets before Messingham eased home with six overs to spare.
Hibaldstow gained five bowling bonus points away to Market Rasen 2nds in Division Two.
They dismissed the home side for a modest 110 at Rase Park, with Joe Taylor and Hamza Shahid both claiming three wickets.
However, our local villagers were then shot out for 37 - no one managing to reach double figures.
Hibaldstow remain clear of the relegation zone.
Barton Town 2nds' 20-point victory over Brigg Town at the Rec Ground yesterday extended their lead over Broughton 2nds at the top of Division Three West.
