KMCC smashed to smithereens
KMCC returned to the KMCG for their derby fixture with Masham buoyed by victory over Knaresborough and on winning the toss inserted Masham hoping to restrict them in the same manner as the previous year. Despite effort and toil from fielders and bowlers alike Masham were able to set the competitive target of 216-7.
What followed was the most shambolic batting display by KMCC in many years no batsman remaining at the crease for long enough to take advantage of reasonable batting conditions as the wickets tumbled the Kirkby collapses of the early 90s were brought to mind. For the record KMCC were sent packing for 56 all out with no prospect of batting out the overs or getting anywhere near the target required for a point. Relegation jitters are beginning to set in in earnest.
