WEEK I 29-30 April 2008
An inauspicious start to
the season, with no games being played in the north of the county. Despite the
leaden skies some cricket
was possible further
south, with the Penrith club benefiting the most, with the second and third
teams gaining winning draws.
The Academy side went one
better a day later, winning at Caldbeck, with Mark Cameron scoring the first
century of the
season.
Wigton had mixed fortunes, with the second team losing to Carleton off
the penultimate ball of the match, but the
third team garnering five points on Sunday on
the same ground. Another close match saw Temple Sowerby prevail at home
against Lowther; in a position of authority
they almost relinquished the points before grabbing the initiative back, taking
four
wickets for six runs, giving them a winning
margin of just two runs. Last years Premiership champions also benefited, being
the only victors in the division, with a
comfortable win at newly promoted Edenhall.

Neil writes: In the opening game of the season at
Tynefield Park, Caldbeck won the toss and elected to put the home side in to
bat. Penrith made steady progress with all the early batsmen spending good
time at the wicket, in particular John Ridley who top scored with 66 not out
and “Jack” Robinson with a controlled innings of 37. Penrith made 184-6 with
Steve Watson the pick of the Caldbeck bowlers with 2 for 27. In response,
some tight bowling from the John Iniff and Duncan Fraser restricted the
Caldbeck batsmen who struggled to find the boundaries necessary to keep up
with the run rate. However after loss of a couple of quick wickets. Steve
Watson and Mike Wilson set about rebuilding the innings and some big hitting
by Watson and latterly Clarke, saw Caldbeck close at 176-5 with Penrith
securing a winning draw. |
