MONDAY 29TH JUNE

ALL ROUND BARTON CASTLES BARNIE

Stockton won the toss and put Barnard Castle into bat on a warm sunny evening. Barnard Castle got off to a quick start with 11 off the first over. However Stockton bowler's soon got into their rhythm and managed to restrict the run rate with some accurate bowling. Wickets were taken at regular intervals with notable contributions from Dan Barton with figures of 2 wickets for 9 runs , U Shafiq 1 wicket for 9 runs, Joe Hewison with 1 wicket for 6 runs all off 3 over spells and an excellent run out from M Henry. Despite the quality of the bowling Barnard Castle batsmen H Day made 25 with able support from B Robinson 13 (n.o) and C Brunel 12. Barnard Castle were restricted to 80 for 5 off their 20 overs.

Stockton started their innings in somewhat cooler conditions as the mist descended to obliterate the sun. However, this did not stop Dan Barton from continuing his form with the bat as he made an unbeaten 31 . Despite some thrifty bowling from C Brunel with 0 wickets for 7 runs off 3 overs and J Bowsfield 0 for 22 off 4 overs, C Stewart unbeaten on 15 and Joe Hewison with a quartet of 4's in his unbeaten 20 saw Stockton reach their target with a score of 82 for 0 wicket with over a handful of overs remaining.

Barnard Castle 80 for 5
Stockton 82 for 0
Stockton won by 10 wickets
