YORK teacher Martin Jackson enjoyed a lucrative catch of the day to pocket £1,000.
As reported in the Evening Press, Jackson was one of six finalists in the Extreme Catches competition, which was staged during yesterday's Yorkshire Phoenix National League clash with Lancashire Lightning at Headingle last night.
The contestants were required to catch a ball fired from a bowling machine at increasing distances with a dropped catch resulting in elimination.
In windy conditions, Jackson, a PE teacher from Huntington, took the top prize after just two rounds.
