Beverley Town CC 1st XI Vs Stamford Bridge

Beverley Town CC 1st XI suffered a heart-breaking one-run defeat at home to Stamford Bridge.

A superb spell by Alex Morrell (5-40) restricted the visitors to just 169.

The chase proved to be a tough one for the home side. Anthony Spence hit 30 and it looked like he and captain Alan Acklam (43) had done enough to earn Beverley victory.

But they just didn’t have enough in the tank and were bowled out for 168, agonisingly short of their target.

The result leaves Beverley third from bottom of the York and District Senior League Premier Division.
