Pocklington 1sts sponsored by Stamfords hosted Goole on Saturday at Burnby Lane and lost an important toss in bowler friendly conditions and were inserted to bat by the visitors.

Wickets fell at regular intervals and only Martin Stables (16) and Howard Johnson (14) on a cameo PCC return reached double figures as they were eventually bowled out for 75.

A couple of early wickets in the reply offered some early hope with Connaire Brattan (2-34) picking up both before Gooles overseas player Niroshan Koralage (48) decided to go on the attack in spectacular fashion and ended the game in the 11th over.

A tough defeat and the 1sts will be looking to bounce back again next Saturday in a big game away at North Cave.
