U13s WIN regional final
In their first game today at Uppingham, the U13s hammered Cambridgeshire by 9 wickets, bowling them out in the semi-final for just 34 runs. In the final against Northants, Lindum U13s crushed the opposition, bowling them out for just 48, and then knocking the runs off for the loss of 2 wickets in just 5 overs. The Lindum lads will now represent the east midlands in the national finals tournament at Oakham school. Congratulations to all the lads that participated today, and to all of the Lindum support staff and management for their efforts in supporting the team.
Saturday sides find form again
The first eleven got back to winning ways at St. Giles avenue with a fine victory over Grimsby. Batting first, Pierce Morley-Barnes and Al Hornsby both hit 50s, as Lindum hit 233-6 before the spin of Bansal and Rutherford took the game away from the chasing visitors who fell 10 short of the target. Ramblers hit 230-6 in their game at Market Deeping to move them back up to second in the table with Dave Knowles hitting a season's best 53, and contributions from the middle order. Deeping never went after winning the game though, even though opener MacDougal hit 104 * from their dour total of 154-6 in 45 overs which prevented Ramblers from taking maximum points.
On Sunday, the second eleven had a third straight loss against Heighington. Charlie Tomlinson top scored for the seconds with 74, but they lost by 6 wickets, and now need to reverse their form if they wish to challenge for the title.
Lindum Ramblers secure Albion Cup!
A Lindum Ramblers select eleven stormed to victory in the Albion cup last night to prise the trophy away from Bracebridge Heath for the first time in 7 years. Lindum restricted BBH to 129-8 in 18 overs, thanks to an awesome bowling and fielding performance - Matt Benson picking up 3 wickets, and Matt Rutherford 2 wickets. In reply, Qas Memon and Al Hornsby (30*) steered Lindum to victory with 2 overs to spare Qas hitting the winning runs with a huge 6 which took him to 55 not out, and picking up the man of the match award. Skipper Matt Benson picked up the trophy, dedicating the victory to the team and paying tribute to the club's youth development program.
