Bass North Cleveland League

THE NCL were comfortably eased out of the Wilkinson Trophy by a competent North Tyneside Senior league, who shone in all three departments.

Cleveland were put in and struggled against Darling and Brown to 62-5 at the half-way stage. Two self inflicted run-outs had not helped the cause, but the experience of Barritt (47no) and skipper Leadbitter (33) added to give the total respectability.

Tyneside rocketed to 40 off six overs and went on to win despite Allen's (3-21) bowling late on.
