Crash, Bang, Wallop
Otley make short shrift of the Guiseley attack on their own Cross Green ground during a one-sided 2018 Waddilove Cup Final, the Airedale & Wharfedale Cricket League's annual showpiece. Jamie Pickering and Ben Morley, both at the crease in this capture, crashed quickfire half-centuries as Otley routed neighbours Guiseley by nine wickets in a top-versus-bottom clash of First Division rivals. Victory keeps Otley on course for a league, cup and T20 treble. Guiseley, doomed to relegation, did well to get into three figures after finding themselves 74-6. Otley reached their modest target in just 10 overs. The Waddilove match was switched at short notice to Cross Green from Olicanian Cricket Club because the Ilkley outfit's heatwave-affected outfield was deemed unfit.
Match statistics:
Admission: £2. Programme: four pages (w/a). Attendance: 225. Guiseley won the toss and elected to bat. Guiseley 122 off 38.4 overs (Damon Reeve 28, Jonny Baines 27, Nathan Goldthorp 4-23, Ricky Halloran 2-13) lost by nine wickets to Otley 124-1 off 10 overs (Jamie Pickering 59 not out, Ben Morley 54). Umpires: Peter Roe and Nicholas Ryder.
