Senior ranks topple Vale in Hedley Memorial Cup
THE York and District Senior Cricket League retained the Hedley Memorial Cup by beating the HPH York Vale Cricket League representative side at Beverley.
Both sides found scoring difficult on a moist track but a sixth-wicket stand of 75 between Steve Janney (Bridlington) and Nick Johnson (Rowntrees & Huntington) proved decisive for the Senior League.
Johnson had earlier taken 3-17 in nine overs as the Vale batsmen struggled, Mark Earle (Westow) top scoring with an unbeaten 30. Martyn Hewitson (New Earswick) took 3-39 and Janney 2-26.
Needing 112 to win, the Senior League were in trouble at 17-3 before Janney hit 54 and Martyn Woodliffe (Malton & Old Malton) 37 to set up a three-wicket victory inside 32 overs.
