Runs flowed again for New Zealand Test batsman Mathew Sinclair with his Yorkshire League side Cleethorpes today.

Yesterday he hit 200 not out in the side's win over Sheffield United and today he scored another century when he departed with the score on 172. The side went on to post 241/6 against Grimsby Town.

Sinclair was bowled by a ball that kept low from Jonathan Miller. Miller was on the fringe of selection in the Yorkshire under-15 squad last season.

However, Grimsby Town could not match the home team's batting effort and were dismissed for 105. Stuart Airey took four for 12 from seven overs.

The win represented a great start for the club which has made no secret of the fact that it is looking for a Yorkshire League win this summer, something it hasn't managed before.

They signalled their intention by signing Sinclair as far back as October while it also engaged two semi-professionals. Opening bowler Andrew Carrington and wicket-keeper Graham Wilson have also joined the club.

Standing in the way of the minimum of a top five finish for the club this year are traditional rivals who have dominated the league in recent seasons, Sheffield Collegiate, Harrogate, Doncaster and Scarborough. Another club, Rotherham, has also been on a recruiting drive and is expected to be a contender.

A young player expected to be the subject of close attention by the Durham and Lancashire county set-ups is 16-year-old bowler Airey. He has already made appearances for the two counties in age group games last summer and is likely to be an all-rounder for Cleethorpes this year.
