Thornton le Dale First 11 V's Settrington
On one of the best afternoons of the season so far the first 11 hosted the top of the league Setrington. Pat Stephenson had a good toss and elected to field. It looked like being a long afternoon in the first over C Headlam (Keane) was stroked around the ground with abandon. The height of the young Adam Hargreves stopped the onslaught with a bit of good fortune. From the bat to the pad on to the foot and a trickle to dislodge the bail. Keane followed up soon after with the “slow ball” to have the main Settrington batsman LBW. Wickets came steadily through the overs but fielding errors allowed Setrington off the hook. Most notable was Tim Hodgson committing the cardinal sin of “droping off your own bowling” The visitors ended on 150 all out.
The “tea” as usual was of the highest standard especially the little scones with jam on.
The batting suffered an early blow with the loss of Pat Stephenson pushing a catch back to mid on. Adam Hargreves played well and kept the scoreboard ticking over with the trademark flick of the pads. Unfortunately on 34 the Setrington spinner broke through his steadfast defence. Stu Hill soon followed. Andrew Rudd blocked the first ball and found his eye to plant the next ball over the boundary for six. An entertaining 10 overs followed where Rudd and Sigsworth put on a brisk 70. Rudd (40) was finally caught on the boundary playing his usually attacking strokes. A brief flurry of 5 wickets in 3 overs soon followed, most notably Tom Sigsworth (45). It required the staunchest of defences from Keane to stop the “rot” Tim Hodgson Finished of the game in fine style driving through covers for four. (by A.Rudd)

Thornton le Dale 2nd' V's Heslerton 2nd's
A game league leaders Heslerton thought they would easily win ended up completely the opposite with a final ball win for a much depleted second 11.
Heslerton won the toss and elected to bat, however wickets tumbled regularly and despite some good middle order batting, Thornton restricted Heslerton to 164 all out.

Thornton le Dale 3rd's V's Seamer 3rd's

Thornton le Dale 2nd' V's Lockton 2nd's
After a week of almost solid rain, it was amazing any cricket was played, however Lockton won the toss and put Thornton into bat.

Thorntons batting was positive and B. White 31, A. Hodgson 18, M.Clark 18, L.Hartas 22 and O.Sigsworth 22 all batted well. However the Result was never in question as at the end of 40 overs Thornton were still 80 short.
The Total of 159 was the highest score of the season for the 3rd Eleven and finished the season on a postitive note as all the top end batsman scored valuable runs.
Thornton le Dale 2nd's V's Ravenscar 2nd's
Thornton batted first and struggled for the first 20 overs steadily losing wickets. Paul Waring then stepped up a gear and hit a good 56 with some fine shots. He was well supported by Oliver Sigsworth, Matthew Clark and Ashley Hodgson. Thornton finished on 131 for 8 after 40 overs.
