Bolton-by-Bowland v Great Harwood
Away, Sunday 3rd July 2005

Impressive away win at Gt. Harwood.

Gt Harwood (BBB won toss): BBB beat Gt. Harwood by 83 runs.

Bolton completed the double over Gt. Harwood helped by Chris Seed and Mark Carlton who put on 90 for the second wicket partnership. Before that Gordon Wilson scored easily, knocking 38 off 37 balls. Chris Seed’s 85 included 17 fours and 3 sixes. Stephen Booth took the score to 216 with a fine 30 no. The young Harwood side was no match for the Bolton old guard of Levet, Hill, Darlington and Wood. At one point the average age of the Bolton leg side fielders was approaching 60 some 40 years above the age of the Harwood lads. Roger Wood’s stumping of Harwood star Jackson is a lesson to us all that it’s not over till the fat lady sings. The fat lady could have sung three arias in the time the ball was delivered to the stumps but poor Jackson didn’t look back!!
