Highest ever finish
Keswick CC 1st X1 got back to winning ways and now have a highest ever finish in the Premier Division of the NLL in their sights following their five wicket win at Kirkby.
The home side was restricted to 153/5 from their 50 overs and Stuart Dowson was back to his miserly best with a return of 1/27 from 14 overs while off-spinner David Kearns was equally tight with 1/21 from 10.
On a wicket which tends to favour the bowlers – unless your name is Jason Young who scored 203 here in 2000 to set a new league record for KCC – runs are hard to come by but left-handed opener Richard Webster carried his bat for 47 and John Bryson Jnr (28) the professional Darren Hickey (23) and the captain Glen Weightman (14) also got into double figures as Keswick reached 154/5 in 39.4 overs.
Keswick are now in fifth position in the league only three points away from Millom and Haverigg who are in joint fourth place.
