Eight is great for Campbell

LAST-MINUTE replacement Alan Campbell had the volcanic ash crisis to thank for a match-winning display.

The 59-year-old slow bowler took eight for 25 for Shaw against Moorside in division two.

Campbell, who took the first eight wickets to fall, should have had a ninth victim, but the ball went to ground.

He said: “I’ve taken seven wickets before in a game, but I can’t remember an eight.

“I wasn’t in the original XI, but a couple of players dropped out because they were stranded abroad.”

Shaw won the game by three wickets.
