GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS BOLTON VILLAS (Home) - Cup - R1 

27th May 2002

This match was played over the following Monday and Tuesday (27th and 28th May) due to rain over the weekend and was played on a far from dry wicket or outfield. despite the tricky conditions the match provided a comfortable passage through to the next round of the Waddilove cup, for the holders Guiseley, against a spirited Bolton Villas outfit. 
Mark Ross (112) and Glen Taylor (79) shared a partnership of 196 to put the tie beyond the reach of the C division's top team. Guiseley, batting first, finished on 255 for 5 with a quickfire 33 not out from skipper Steve Thompson to add to the earlier stand pushed the Guiseley total over the 250 mark. 
With the match resuming the following day it saw Bolton Villas restricted in scoring quick runs by an opening spell of 9 overs for 10 runs from Pete Graham and a couple of wickets from Andy Paley which ensured Bolton Villas would not get anywhere near the Guiseley total. 
Despite the tight bowling, Villas skipper Mick Birts made a gritty 40 before being ousted by the spin of Chris Wain (3-23). Chris Thompson (2-1) wrapped up the tail with 2 wickets in 7 balls to set up a 2nd round tie with Tong Park.
