RUTLAND LEAGUE: Three April tons in four innings as Ketton Sports and Bourne start with a bang
The villagers will field most of the superstars who romped away with the Cambs Division One title in Sunday cricket this summer and they opened their campaign with a 114-run bashing of Barnack.
Zeeshan Manzoor’s ton and an unbeaten 53 from Jacob ‘Dusty’ Miller pushed Ketton Sports up to 267-8 in their 45 overs before dismissing Barnack for 153. Mohammed Yasir (57) top scored for Barnack as Scottish international Tom Sole picked up six wickets for the home side.
