CASTLETHORPE

LANDSLIDE

Only some good batting by Rocke, who scored 22 not out, stopped the “landslide” of Castlethorpe batsmen at Old Bradwell on Saturday. The bowling of P. Shouler kept the batsmen guessing, and in 11 overs he took six wickets for 10 runs. Then Exley, Chapman, and Johnson enabled Old Bradwell to win by 24 runs. Scores:
