Green is tipped to go well for Peterborough Town, debut for Aussie in Grimsby

​Green, a former Market Deeping youngster, has enjoyed a fruitful few months playing grade cricket in Australia.

He joined Town midway through last summer and looked a class act with the bat, but injury prevented him from bowling.

"He can bowl now,” Clarke enthused. “And I can see him having a big impact at Premier Division level this summer.”

Green scored 27 and took 4-42 as Town beat Leicestershire Premier League side Langtons by 55 runs in a friendly last weekend.

Clarke top scored in Town’s 184 all out with 58.

Town host Kislingbury Temperance in their first Premier Division game on Saturday (11am) when Oundle entertain Old Northamptonians.

Virtually of the local cricket was washed out last weekend although Long Sutton managed to win at Sleaford seconds by 14 runs in a low-scoring South Lincs Championship match.

Charlie Crisp took 4-22 for Sutton.

And Burghley Park 2nds were skittled for 79 in a South Lincs Division One game at Billingborough to complete a 29-run loss.

The big Lincs Premier Division derby between Market Deeping and Bourne was washed out meaning new Aussie opening bowler Corey Young will have to make his debut for champions Bourne at Grimsby on Saturday.
