Evening League Updates

With the season nearly over, Helperby has found itself equal first in the Pilmoor Evening League Div 2 table. The reamining games are against Sherrif Hutton and tied leaders Civil Service. There is a big chance that the team can win the Division and be promoted to Div 1.

I have found it really enjoyable being captain of the team, and despite fielding quite a young side, we have done extremely well against the opposition. I believe everyone's game has improved and I am hoping that the experiences these boys have playing on Wednesdays can help them develop into 1st team players in the near future.

Our bowling and fielding has improved dramatically since our first game against Raskelf. Everyone is more alert in the field and switched on, and the bowlers are bowling in the areas where batsmen struggle to put them away.

Here are some of the outstanding performances in the Evening League so far:
John Tuley: 40*, 20*, 50 ret
Matt Cavanagh: 24*, 44*, 2/16, 4/16
Dan Marston: 26*, 2/15, 2/16, 2/11, 3/14
Joe Corner: 2/12, 2/16
Ollie Swiers: 3/7, 1/14
Cam Johnstone-Browne: 48, 21
George Swiers: 2/17
Dan Spink: 2/11, 1/13
Ryan Achilles: 52 ret, 50 ret, 49, 46*, 50 ret, 51 ret

Hopefully we can win the next two games, and depending on the results of the other matches, we might finish on top! To keep track on the results, check our website (www.helperbycc.co.uk) under results and under the title PILMOOR EVENING LEAGUE.
