GUISELEY 1st Team VERSUS Walkden (AWAY) - FRIENDLY 

20th April 2002

Guiseley came crashing down to earth after there victory the previous week at Bradford League side Farsley. Walkden won the toss and elected to bat and got off to a flying start thanks to some big hitting from opener D Smith (44) who put on a 90 run partnership for the opening stand before being caught by Mark Ross off the bowling of Chris Wain. 
The introduction of Mark Ross and Chris Wain restrained Walkden from posting a score inexcess of 200 with Chris Wain taking 3-31 off 10 overs and Mark Ross (who also took 3 catches) taking 1-21 off 9 overs. This however, did not stop D Watson scoring a chanceless 51 before retiring and T Keys scoring 36 before he too retired.
Guiseley needing to chase 187 for victory got off to a reasonable start with the opening pair putting on 26 for the first wicket before Guiseley lost three quick wickets (Mark Ross, Glen Taylor and Chris Thompson) before Carig and Ian Chaplin (No relation) built a useful partnership. With The walkden bowlers keeping things tight, the pressure was too much and craig chaplin departed for 26 caught by a diving D Watson off the bowling of Reader (2-36) in the outfield attempting to up the scoring rate.
Ian Chaplin was then caught by Ingram off the bowling of D Smith (3-29) which then sparked a collapse with only Chris Wain and Sean Yeates making it into double figures. David Walkden was last man out  leaving Roger Waite unbeaten on 3 not out with 3 overs left and this left Guiseley 42 runs short.
