GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS Collingham (Away) - League 

14th June 2003

Guiseley went to Collingham boyed by their win over Follifoot were looking for a better performance than the previous week. With the weather sunny and hot Mark Ross promptly won the toss and inserted Collingham. 
Collingham got off to a rapid if fortuitous start with both openers being dropped and taking their chances as they raced to 99 from 25 overs before Chris Underwood struck to remove M cooke for an aggressive 69. Guiseley then failed to make the inroads they had wanted despite some excellent bowling from Mark Best (2-74) and Chris Underwood (1-28), but poor fielding allowed Collingham to build some valuable partnerships.
Andrew Paley (3-69) returned for the last 15 overs after his impressive first spell and received some special treatment from G Rafique (56) despatching him for 37 off three overs (sorry Pales had to be mentioned!!). Collingham eventually finished on 224-7.
Guiseley got off to a great start with Mark Ross and Greame Wolfenden scoring at will before Guiseley had a mini slump losing Ross (31), Wolfenden (18) and Chris Underwood (8) with 63 on the board. Things looked bleak especially as Collingham had gone defensive by as they looked to secure 4 points. Mark Best (46) and Howard Reeve (23) did their best to revive the Guiseley challenge with a brief flurry but when Reeve departed Guiseley slumped to 156-6 chasing after the bowling. 
It was left to Simon Ross (37 not out) and Richard Whitaker (16 not out) to bat out for a draw on a disappointing day as Guiseley lost more ground on Menston at the top of the table.
