Taylor ton helps Hucknall return to winning ways
Jacob Taylor’s century guided Hucknall to a fourth win in five matches in the Nottinghamshire Premier League with a rain-affected seven-wicket win at Attenborough.
Batting first, Attenborough made 277-7 in 50 overs with half-centuries from Lucas Stentiford (82) and Matthew Hill (75), and 45 from Parakrama Thennakoon, while Saif Ali (4-53) and George Blatherwick (3-46) shared the wicket-taking duties for Hucknall.
Rain meant Hucknall were set a revised target of 239 and lost Oliver Horlock early.
But Taylor (109) and Greg Willows (58) put on 104 for the second wicket – Taylor hitting 14 fours and three sixes in his knock – and Sam Johnson (38no) saw Hucknall home at 242-3 in 39.4 overs.
Papplewick & Linby picked up their second win of the season with a rain-affected eight-wicket success over Wollaton.
Batting first, Wollaton posted 232-6 in 50 overs, with opener Hassan Azad hitting a superb 113no, while Alex Moor and Sam Walker both took wickets each for Papplewick.
Rain meant Papplewick were set a revised target and two fine partnerships saw them home with ease.
Sam Watson (32) and Robin Smith (60no) put on 70 for the opening wicket, before Smith and Byron Hatton-Lowe (40) put in 72 for the second as Papplewick reached 141-2 in 17.3 overs.
