Rotherham 132 for 8  Swinton 131

Swinton’s visit to Clifton Lane resulted in a good sporting game, with a fairly close finish, Rotherham winning by two wickets.

Wilson, Jack Harrison and Jenkinson were the main contributors to a Swinton total of 131.

The tail-end partnership between Harrison and Jenkinson was particularly useful, serving to stop a rot that had set in as a result of some effective bowling by Tom Aizlewood.

Rotherham started badly, but recovered at the fall of the third wicket, and finally won with a couple of wickets standing.
