Michael Lee 3-26 Jonny Whitehead 54
Kieran Tighe 3-30 Matt Doughty 43
Rhys Woodworth 23
The loss of both tosses on 2 scorching days proved to be the undoing of the 2nd team youngsters. On Saturday Accrington posted a big score with 14 year old Jack Herbert, the pick of the bowlers. A magnificent start from the ebullient Jonny Whitehead gave the lads a chance but the reply fizzled out in the energy sapping heat.
On Sunday in the Cup, the bowlers restricted Todmorden well but the final wicket stand of 35 proved to be the difference.
With the average age at under 17 this weekend, the boys can be very pleased at how well they played.

Joe Martin 40
Rhys Woodworth 24
Jonny Whitehead 15
Max Howells 10
Bizarrely Longridge managed not to overtake the lads score despite being only 2 wickets down. Needing 15 off 2 overs, a magnificent outfield dive by Joe Martin won the points

Josh Lavin 16

Rawtenstall u15 90 – 9 LHCC Dolphins 73 -6
Nic Whitehead 4-14 Jack Herbert 12
Sean Duckworth 2-8 Joe Gray 11

Longridge u11 (a) 223-7 LHCC U11 Bears 240 -3
Ryan Starkie 2-12 Declan Stansfield 11*
Tom Bridge 2-20
A good victory for the boys on a pitch that resembled Goose Green. The wickets were pitched in cracks in the surface. The lads had to be brave with several taking blows from beamers, throws kicking up and full length balls rearing. Suits of armour required for the next visit
LHCC U11 Bears played in a round robin tournament at Read CC and having beaten both Read and Padiham were beaten in the final by Clitheroe.
Tom Bridge was top wicket taker, Christian Butschok – Brain the top run score but the event will be remembered for the magnificent left handed catch by keeper Harry Wheatcroft , described by manager Stan Heaton as the best he had ever seen in under 11 cricket.
