GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS Walkden (Home) - Friendly 

19th April 2003

  •  
A weakened Guiseley side came up against the Bolton League side a repeat of last years friendly. Mark Ross took the field as new skipper and got off to an auspicious start by losing the toss and Walkden elected to bat on a cloudy and cold day.
Guiseley got off to a good start by taking the first wicket with 19 runs on the board but the 2nd wicket partnership (apologies - no names) put on 121 runs before the opener (90) and number three batsman (27)was dismissed with 144 on the board. The Guiseley bowlers toiled well and restricted Walkden to 225 from their 40 overs.
In reply Guiseley got off to a good start with 44 being put on for the first wicket before Howard Reeve was dismissed for 17. Mark Ross then departed for 25 amid some tight bowling by Walkden but Ian Chaplin (Vice Captain) tried to restore some pride with a gutsy 23 but with wickets falling around him he departed, leaving Steve Thompson (36 not out) to nurse the tail through to 136 all out).
Not the best start to the season but this did provide Guiseley with some useful practice against a very disciplined side.
