Cricket - Netherfield in 2008 Cumbria Cup final

11:02am Tuesday 14th April 2009

NETHERFIELD CC will play Barrow at Penrith CC this Sunday in the delayed 2008 Thwaites Cumbria Cup final, which is played for the Meageen Trophy.

Netherfield made short work of beating Keswick when the outstanding semi-final was played on Easter Sunday.

Asked to bat, Netherfield made 213-6 off their 40 overs, with Keswick all out for just 37 in 19 overs in reply.

Opener Ben Haddrick top-scored for Netherfield with 53 with skipper Chris Parry making 32, Craig Walmsley 27 and John Huck 21.

Stand-in professional Alec Roberts, who plays with the New Brighton club, took 4-10 with the ball as none of the Keswick batsmen reached double figures.

The Furness BS Northern Premier League season starts this Saturday, but Netherfield have a bye on Sunday, while Kendla go to Barrow.
