Cup success for local sides
RAIN affected some matches locally over the weekend but those that were finished in the George Marshall and Bob Welton cups saw some success for the local sides.
Premier division South Kelsey should have feared no problems in the George Marshall when they were tasked with a visit to Washingborough.They easily progressed through to the quarter-finals with two centuries being scored in their big win away to the Division 4 side.
Afghan Atiq Ullah and Sri Lankan Kumud Wijayaratna both hit tons as Kelsey posted the day's biggest team total of 324 for two. Skipper Lol Waghorn and his team are now at home to Alkborough, fellow Premier Leaguers, in the semi finals on Sunday, July 19th.
Division 2 Market Rasen fared much worse as they lost by 83 runs on their visit to one of Division One's strongest sides, Cherry Willingham.
South Kelsey 2nds struggled to get a side in the field when hosting Barton 2nds (Division 3) in the Bob Welton Cup but managed to fulfil the fixture, although losing by nine wickets.
