It was a superb team display by the hosts in the field, with Will Watts (1-6) arguably the pick of the Bridlington bowlers, dismissing opener Gregor Fraser, who top-scored with 32 from 40 balls for the visitors.

Attention now turns to the semi-final, where Bridlington will face Championship East title-chasers Beverley Town 2nds on Sunday August 23 at Driffield Recreation Ground, with an 11am start.

Bridlignton CC would love to see as many fans, supporters, family members and sponsors there as possible to get behind the lads. Hopefully it’ll be another great day for the club!

Finally, Bridlington CC would like to say a huge thank-you to their coloured kit sponsors – the Watts family, Shannon Bakes of Tasman Solutions and Ollie West of West BS.

Their support is hugely appreciated by everyone at the club.
