Great Britain Community Lions - South Africa 2010 [Cruise + Cricket]

Category: Great Britain Community Lions South Africa 2010

Monday saw us take in an early morning gym session at Virgin Fitness Centre followed by a river boat cruise. The River Vaal is home to some majestic houses and fantastic sites.

The cruise was followed by the customary Lancashire v Yorkshire cricket match with the Red Rose coming out on top!!! Yorkshire captain Sean Wildbore won the toss and elected to bowl. Wayne Leyland and Anthony Atherton had great knocks of 34 and 31 respectively. With Joe Budd the pick of the bowlers. Lancashire set a target of 95 for Yorkshire to chase.

The Lancashire bowlers tore into the top order and only Joe Budd’s 35 offering any resistance. Atherton and Carl Redford excelled in the field with Paul Pendlebury and Tony Baker the pick off the bowlers. Yorkshire all out for 70 saw the trophy once again heading west to the Red Rose County!!!
