GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS Green Lane (Home) - League 

12th May 2003

Guiseley entertained Green Lane for the 2nd time in two weeks as they were captained by ex Guiseley player Barry 'two-ton' McCormack.
Guiseley won the toss and put Green Lane into bat, on a dry, batsmen friendly pitch (at Guiseley?) and soon had Green Lane reeling at 62-5, thanks to some excellent bowling from Andrew Paley (4-78) and Marcus Brown (2-35). S Hargreaves (52) and P Atkinson (69) came to the rescue with a 80 partnership to take Green Lane to 142-6. Neil Allitt (another ex Guiseley player) scored a rapid 20 before being brilliantly run out (if I don't mind saying myself!!!!) by Sean Yeates from 70yds in the deep). 
Green Lane managed to get to 222-9 but Guiseley will be disappointed that they could not dismiss Lane for less. 
In reply Guiseley were in allsorts of trouble after losing their top 4 batsmen with only 59 on the board in the face of some excellent bowling from Neil Britton (6-57). Chris Underwood steadied the ship with a measured 47 before he was bowled after the drinks break leaving Guiseley in the mire. 
A brilliant innings from Chris Wain (38 not out), supported by number 10 Andrew Paley (28 not out) rescued Guiseley a point from a game they should have lost.
