Pannal stroll to comfortable victory
Top of the table Pannal were looking to brush aside KMCC struggling for a victory despite a run of good form and quickly inserted the lower leaguers in the hope of a quick victory. Making a better fist of it than at the start of the season openers Fielder,49, and Nattress set a sound base against one of the best bowling attacks in the league. Harford-Cross, 39, the Fraser twins and Brad looked to up the rate however the innings fell maybe 20 runs of target as the Pannal bowlers maintained their grip on the innings. 155-6 at tea represented a slim chance for KMCC and the need for early wickets.
Pannal had fewer scares making the target than the 96 in the reverse fixture and eased to a 7 wicket victory despite a couple of wickets for Rod Pickles and a tight fielding display by KMCC. A victory is required soon if KMCC want to avoid slumping into the relegation zone by the time the season ends.
