GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS Steeton (Home) - League 

24th May 2003

With skipper Mark Ross (back), Howard Reeve (Holiday) and Mark Best (Holiday) missing, this was always going to be a tricky tie but Guiseley sailed through the test by 7 wickets. On a damp track Guiseley won the toss and inserted Steeton expecting the wicket to be a bit lively.
Alex Howarth (31) set off making light of the pitch conditions but the Guiseley bowlers soon got going and reduced Steeton to 85-5. G Boulton set about posting a decent score in the face of some tight Guiseley bowling but with wickets falling around him Steeton limped to 149-9.
In reply Simon Ross (41) got Guiseley off to a fantastic start clubbing both opening bowlers to all parts of the ground before mis-timing a pull shot to leave Guiseley on 51-1. Glen Taylor (32) in partnership with Graeme Wolfenden put on 66 before Taylor was out soon followed by Chris Underwood as Guiseley wobbled a bit.
It was left to stand-in skipper Ian Chaplin to hit the winning runs as 'Wolfie' completed a magnificent 54 not out to see Guiseley home by 7 wickets.
A better performance all-round, roll-on Otley!!!
