15th August 2009

Treeton's first XI successfully completed another home victory against Sheffield Collegiate B at Washfield Lane but the game last a little longer than the previous meeting earlier in the season when the match was all over in less than two hours!

With skipper Chris Cobb away with the future Mrs. Cobb, stand in skipper Steve Foster won the toss and elected to bowl first and Treeton soon had the visitors in trouble when they were reduced to 18 for 5 courtesy of some accurate bowling by Gary Montgomery and Steve Foster. Collegiate's late order managed to hang around though and they were eventually dismissed for 99 (Montgomery 4 for 12, Foster 4 for 25).

Treeton then had little trouble in reaching the milestone as they lost just one wicket in the process, that of Andy Tomlinson for 36, but Ben Ashdown hung around to see Treeton to another victory with 49 at just better than a run a ball.

Treeton have a double header in store next weekend as they entertain Tickhill on Saturday 22nd August and then travel to Pontefract side Ackworth in the Yorkshire Council Play Off quarter final on the Sunday (12pm start).

The 2nd & 3rd XI had no game but return to action next week.
