Raby Castle CC overcome Barningham to claim Darlington and District Cricket League A Division KO Cup

RABY Castle CC proved too strong for dale rivals Barningham to claim this year's district league A division knock-out cup.

The final was played at Darlington RA and after being put into bat in the 20-over a side final, an excellent unbeaten 46 from David Scaife, along with 33 from Peter Forster and Ben Goodfellow's 28 – aided by 16 Barningham wides – saw Raby post a challenging 155-6.

Shane Rowley and Steven Walker each picked up two wickets and there was one apiece for Rob Stanwix and Peter Stanwix.

In reply, Ben Goodfellow bowled an excellent opening spell for Raby. Although wicketless, his five overs went for only 18 runs.

Rob Stanwix, Gary Walker and Steven Walker all made 20s, but with the Lees, Dan and Simon, taking five wickets between them, the game was up for Barningham and Raby – 18 points clear in the league – ran out deserved winners.
