29/07/2010 - Killinghall Evening League side promoted
Killinghall's evening league side secured promotion last night after beating Little Ribston by 37 runs in a winner takes all fixture.
With the winner of last nights game taking promotion the pressure was on both teams, on what was a difficult wicket for batting.
After being inserted by the opposition Killinghall lost J Russell (2) early before A Dobby (22) and An Thompson (46) built a solid foundation which was built on by S Copley (21). Wickets continued to fall regularly with no other batsman reaching double figures. The innings closed on a very respectable 119 for 9.
Killinghall's bowlers soon set about defending the target with aplomb. B Crawfurd-porter (1-7) restricting the scoring, with J Jackson (2-5) also bowling a miserly spell. With the required run rate rising rapidly H Ashman (0-16) and An Thompson (1-22) maintained the pressure on the batsman. S Copley (3-19) saw the victory home, restricting Ribston to 82 for 8.
Well played lads.

08/07/2010 - Killinghall 3rd Team Defeated in Cup Final
Killinghall 3rd Teams run to the final of the Peter Bentley Cup ended in dissappointment as they were defeated in the final at South Kilvington.
Posting a total of 83 in 18 overs, thanks largely to 32 not out from skipper Mark Morrell, was always going to be difficult to defend on a small ground.
The run to the final has seen them defeat several teams from the division above, including a nail biting one run victory in the semi final against Ripon. Their focus now switches to the league campaign with the team looking to push on towards promotion in the second half of the season.
07/07/2010 - Under 15s maintain 100% record
Killinghall's Under 15s team maintained their 100% start to the league this season on Sunday and are now unbeaten in 7 games. The team are almost certain of a place in the play off finals to be held on the 5th September at Studley Royal.
Team manager and coach James Crawfurd-Porter commented "The lads have had a terrific start to the season, but we need to maintain our focus for the remaining group games to ensure that come play off finals day we are in prime form".
Good luck lads for the rest of the season.
