GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS FOLLIFOOT (Home) - Cup Qtr Final 

30th JUNE 2002

Despite having five of the regular first team missing, another fine batting display saw Guiseley reach the semi-final stage of the Waddilove cup against in form side Follifoot, last Sunday. 
Guiseley posted a match winning score of 241 for 7 in their allotted 45 overs with only Glen Taylor failing to reach double figures. Opener Howard Reeve continued in the same vein as the previous day hitting 52, while Graeme Wolfenden assisted with 23 before being trapped LBW by West Indian spinner Deryck Parry. Reeve then shared in a stand of 64 with Ian Chaplin (49) taking the score to 113. 
Skipper Steve Thompson shared quick runs with Sean Yeates and Richard Whitaker with hardly a scoring opportunity being missed before finally missing out on a fifty being caught off the last ball of the innings for 49. 
The Follifoot reply was steady due to some tight bowling from Guiseley stalwart Adrian Threapleton drafted in as a replacement for the "missing" Neil Allitt, and the ever reliable Pete Graham. Follifoot reaching 78 for 2 at drinks. Chris Wain bowled an excellent spell taking the first three wickets for only 30 runs, including Follifoot captain Chris Newton and the prolific Brian Smart. 
As the visitors accelerated towards their target, thoughts of the previous day's defeat came to mind and for a short while the bowling and fielding went a little haywire. But Guiseley, who have been undefeated in cup matches at Nethermoor for the past five years weren't going to let this one slip. Some great fielding from wolfy, who took a storming catch and ran out danger man Sean Ledger and Andy Paley who took 4 wickets at the death ensured Guiseley's safe passage into the semi-final against Pool.
