GUISELEY 3rd Team VERSUS Horsforth (Away) - League 

5th May 2002

Guiseley lost this high scoring match at Horsforth on a hot afternoon where they were made to toil in the field by some solid Horsforth batting.
Guiseley had got off to a good start with Bill Thatcher and Lincoln wray reducing Horsforth to 50 for 2 but the joy was short lived as Milner (132) and Robinson (51) put the Guiseley attack to the sword. They put on 176 runs in 32 overs before both holing out in the closing stages to take the Horsforth score to 241.
In reply Guiseley got off to a good start with Stuart Goodbold (28) and Duncan Archibold putting on 40 for the first wicket before both losing their wickets. Guiseley were then reduced to 70 for 5 and staring defeat in the face until Andy Swallow (28) and a cameo innings from David Thatcher (29) brought some respectability to the score line.
With wickets falling at both ends and no significant partnerships built Guiseley were left some 50 runs short leaving Horsforth deserved winners.
