Millers to concentrate on the League

The torrential rain arrived half an hour late to save Keyworth from a defeat at the hands of Div A side Eastwood Town.

Keyworth were off to a great start and were 101-1 with Chris Ladd (34) and Grant Parker (53) opening up. Dale Collison (12) again missed an opportunity to get some runs under his belt, falling C&B for the 2nd day in a row.
Geoff Tindsley got a golden duck, falling to an in-swinging yorker from 15-year-old prospect Jack Wyer (5-14-4).

The Keyworth batsmen contributed to their own downfall and disappointingly collapsed to 134 all out in the 43rd over. Doug Bayford confirmed that he is the unluckiest batsman in the club, falling run out (again!) after the bowler deflected a firmly stuck Stuart Meek drive on to the non-strikers stumps.

Eastwood knocked off the required runs in 33 overs for 3 wickets, with a series of dropped catches and chances dropping in-between fielders meaning that Keyworth’s name would not be on the Cup this year.
