York Cricket Club face a Lincolnshire weekend.

They entertain Scunthorpe-based Appleby-Frodingham tomorrow in a Yorkshire ECB Premier League fixture in which they will endeavour to retain their 15-point gap ahead of second-placed Harrogate.

On Sunday they host Cleethorpes in a League Cup tie of 50 overs each. York have beaten both clubs by wide margins already this season and will be looking for repeat performances.

Tomorrow York will lack the services of wicketkeeper Nigel Durham who is on hospital duty in Leeds and the club awaits a fitness report from reserve gloves-man, John McGrady, who is recovering from a dislocated finger.

The club has agreed Sunday, July 31, as the date for the visit of Pudsey St Lawrence in the semi-final of the Black Sheep Yorkshire Champions competition.

Next Monday Clifton Park will host the York v Sessay quarter-final of the Myers Burnell Cup.
