Hallam 190  Denaby & Cadeby 196 for 5

Denaby’s batsmanship, rather shaky of late, was restored to full power on Tuesday when they beat Hallam by five wickets.

Hallam were out for 190 in two and three-quarter hours, Topholme making 68 not out and Bedford 43. Bullard took five for 41.

Helen Denaby replied with 196 for 5 in only 100 minutes. Ellis altered his usual slow start to score a dazzling 82, with 11 fours, and he was helped in putting on 120 in the first hour by Cory and Richards. Joe Wilks made 33 not out and Oakley 23 not out.
