Mathew Sinclair might be starting to think about the task that awaits him in Pakistan next month, but his Yorkshire league club Cleethorpes will be looking for one more big performance from him before the end of their summer.

Since returning from the Sri Lankan Coca-Cola Cup tournament earlier this month, Sinclair has struggled to regain the touch which saw him make an outstanding start to the summer, but he started to get his game back together during Cleethorpe's three victories over the Bank Holiday weekend.

His last game will be on Saturday for an important clash with York.

On Saturday Cleethorpes scored 156/9 against Hull. But when defending that total left-arm slow bowler Nick White took six for 33 in a 19-over spell. Sinclair picked up a couple of late wickets as Cleethorpes took a 40-run win.

Sunday proved a great day for Cleethorpes. It turned the form book on its head and Sheffield Collegiate were eliminated from the Yorkshire League Cup.

Collegiate were hot favourites in the semi-final but the reigning league champions and current league leaders were met with a performance full of character and skill which took Cleethorpes through to a September final.

The Meggies batted first in the 50-over contest and there was a welcome return to form for Sinclair who made 60 in a solid opening stand with Mike Smith who made 27. Cleethorpes scored 199/7.

Some tight bowling resulted in Cleethorpes taking a seven run win with Sinclair again picking up wickets to take two for 41 from his 10 overs.

Cleethorpes now advance to a September final against Hull or the Yorkshire Academy but Sinclair will miss the final.

An outstanding weekend for the club was completed when a 74-run win was achieved over top club Scarborough.

Sinclair scored 35 as his side reached 184/9.

In reply, Scarborough were in trouble at 28/4 and were eventually all out for 110.

Meanwhile, in the Lancashire league Tana Canning continued a late run of form with the Accrington club. On Sunday, the his club's 24-run win over Enfield he scored 65 and then took five for 55.

On Saturday, Burnley proved too good for Accrington. But of his side's 119 runs, Canning scored 48 and took three for 53 in Burnley's 163/8.

On the previous weekend in the rain-affected game against Church he scored 47 of 155/9 and on the day before in another rain-affected match he scored 51 of Accrington's 92 against Colne.
