AUSTERLANDS will have home advantage when they lock horns with Saddleworth in the final of this season’s under-17s Romida Trophy.

The match, on Sunday, September 13, is of 40 overs per side (start 1.30pm).

LEWIS Ralph returned superb figures of five for 10 as Greenfield under-15s defeated Hyde in the Lancashire County League.

The teenager’s efforts meant the Ladhill Lane outfit needed only 75 to win, and they reached their target with four wickets to spare.

The club’s under-11s, meanwhile, are 10 points clear at the top of the north division in the Tameside and District League.

They are waiting to discover who their opponents will be from the southern section in the play-offs.

Glossop are currently leading the way, with Denton West, Denton St Lawrence and Hyde scrapping it out for second place.

A FEW places are still available on Ben Johnson’s Summer School at Greenfield.

It starts on Monday, August 4, and is for players in school Years Five, Six, Seven and Eight. The cost is £45 for the week.
