Matthew Bell back in scoring mode in England
Lynn McConnell - 29 May 2002

Wellington captain Matthew Bell continues to help his English league side New Farnley in its bid to win the Central Yorkshire League this year.

At the weekend he scored 120 not out as his side reached 224/4 against Gildersome. Bell was dropped early on in his innings, and then once the side was past the 100-mark he survived a run out. He was out of his ground but the Gildersome wicket-keeper had removed the bails in his quest to get the ball.

And while Bell was still short of his ground, the wicket-keeper failed to pull a stump from the ground to claim the run out in the approved fashion.

Bell cashed in big-time and almost scored more than the opposition. They were dismissed for 124 with Bell demonstrating his bowling skills by taking three wickets.

In the Liverpool league, Peter Fulton had a more memorable day for his Lytham side in the premier division than his team-mates. Bootle scored 200/7 declared of whom Fulton took three for 40. In Lytham's run chase Fulton scored 64, but the team was all out for 124.

In the first division of the same league, James Marshall scored 46 of Formby's 94/5 as they overhauled St Helens' 93. Marshall had taken three for 24 with the ball earlier.

Neal Parlane, playing for Fleetwood Hesketh scored 96 not out in the total of 144/4 which was sufficient to beat Southport and Birkdale's total of 142.

In the Netherlands premier division, Darren Reekers had an outstanding day. He scored 34 runs off 41 balls, including two sixes, in Quick Haag's 150/5 in a rain-reduced game. Then he destroyed the VOC response by taking four wickets for six runs in his seven overs as VOC were all out for 63. Among his victims were three current or former Netherlands internationals.

Darrin Murray scored 37 in his VRA side's 152/4 against HBS while team-mate Peter Borren took three for 31 from 10 overs. VRA, earlier dismissing HBS for 161, won on run rate in the rain-affected match.
