Lightcliffe starlets progress after winning Yorkshire T20 crown
Lightcliffe CC are the Yorkshire champions in the ECB’s Vitality U15s Club T20 Cup after defeating Doncaster Town in the final.
The team of young cricketers posted a total of 155 after winning the toss and choosing to bat. Captain Monty Ramsden, unbeaten on 50, and Ollie Frearson, with 38, were the pick of the batters.
In reply, the South Yorkshire hosts were always behind the required rate and when wickets started to fall, including 2-21 for Sam Walker, the result was never in doubt.
