Newton Aycliffe Cricket Club’s 2nd team, sponsored by Franks the Flooring Store, played their last game of the season away at Maltby 2nd XI in the NYSD 4th division and were well beaten by nine wickets in a game that really did have that ‘end of season’ feel to it. Aycliffe captain Dan Weldon won the toss and chose to bat first, but his side were bowled out for just 108 after just 36.1 overs. Ryan Patrick (sponsored by A Star Bathrooms) top scored with a patient 33 from 77 balls faced and other contributions came from Jai Sander (14 off 22 balls), Dan Bowmer (10 off 24 balls) and Leon Patel (10 off 28 balls). In reply, the home side easily reached their winning target of 109 after 20.1 overs with Jai Sander (1 for 14) taking the only Maltby wicket to fall.
