Weekend Preview & Teams 21st & 22nd June 08
The lads will be looking to continue their recent progress up the league as they entertain bottom placed Colne this coming Sunday.
Colne have had a difficult start to what is really a transitional season for them having altered their playing staff significantly from last season. Their Skipper this season is top order batsman Matt Wilson but they have lost Sean and Stuart Lemon, Jeff Ellis and former Lowerhouse all-rounder Qasim Ali who is of course now captain at Burnley.
A relatively young side Colne will be hoping to move away from the bottom of the table and gain revenge for defeats at the hands of Lowerhouse in both the league and cup already this season. Colne have brought in a former team mate of Will Driver having signed off spinning all-rounder Chris Holt from Read.
Colne’s pro is South African Blake Snijman. Snijman is an opening batsmen for Lions back in South Africa and in first class cricket he has 2147 runs at 30.67 and 15 wickets at 24.93. To date this season he has scored 210 league runs at 23.33 with a seasons best of 78. That does not tell the whole story though as Snijman also scored a magical 103 in our cup victory over Colne. With the ball his right arm medium pace has captured 22 wickets at 18.18 with a best of 6-28.
