GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS North Leeds (Home) - League 

31st May 2003

Records were sent tumbling at North Leeds as the highest aggregate score was posted by these title chasing teams. It was also the first time Guiseley first eleven had ever scored greater than 300 runs in an innings.
Guiseley elected to bat first on a flat track in Roundhay but North Leeds struck first to remove Graeme Wolfenden for 20 with the score on 32. Chris Underwood then smashed a quick 40 off 38 balls to put on 51 run partnership for the second wicket before he was removed but the impressive Mark Ross was still there. The fourth wicket partnership of Howard Reeve and Mark Ross put the North Leeds bowling attack to the sword piling on 171 runs in 22 overs before Reeve was out for 81 but Ross had already scored his century at the other end.
Vice Captain Ian Chaplin then put on 65 runs with Ross in 8 overs as the visitors cut loose before being run out. Guiseley eventually scored 350 runs with Mark Ross stricking a brilliant 159 not out off 144 balls.
North Leeds lost their first two wickets with just 24 on the board and Guiseley sensed victory but a defiant century from Steve Wales (112) and 82 from N Baker meant that Guiseley were unable to take the final 2 wickets at the end to take victory.
Not a good day for bowlers but Marcus Brown was the pick of the Guiseley bowlers with 3-67 from 15 overs and Chris Underwood taking 2 wickets.
Lets hope for more runs next week against Menston!!
