Having lost the toss, Tickhill were put into bat by the home side. The visitors were straight out of the blocks, scoring with ease, being aided and abetted by some lackadaisical fielding from the Goole youngsters and the strong cross wind which made for difficult bowling conditions.

Tickhill continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over and were 78 to the good after the first three pairs.

Having only brought seven players to Goole, Tickhill were to be allowed to use a batsman twice in their innings, with the choice of batsman being left to the home coaching staff. However, quietly and under the noses of the Goole staff, Tickhill sent in arguably their best batsman for a second bite at the Goole attack. Having already top scored with 22no, he proceeded better his first innings total with 29no.

An imposing total of 128 had been set. Henry Appleby (24) and Megan McGrath (4) opened for the home side and set about the task at hand. Despite the loss of two wickets in their four overs, they had nevertheless given the second pair a solid platform to work from.

The ever improving Ashton Smith (12) and Thomas O'Neil (6), making his first appearance this season, faced up to Tickhill's best bowler and put up a spirited defence of their wicket, only losing their wicket once in their alloted overs.

Next up were Toby Bailey (9) and Charlie Evans (14). Although not the biggest hitters, they demonstrated excellent communication and running between the wickets and kept their wicket in tact during their innings.

Last to the crease were Rafe Nutall (13) and Jenson Clarke (15). The two senior players in the U9's gave it their all in a determined innings which brought Goole’s final total to 81. On any other given day, a score of 81 would probaly result in a win, however it just wasn't to be on a day of testing conditions and even more testing circumstances.

Player of the match went to Mr Consistent, Henry Appleby, for his bowling figures of 13/1 and top scoring (24) with the bat.
