Odedra in good form again

Leicestershire Young Cricketers batsman Yuvraj Odedra was again in fine form as Barrow Town landed a third win in four matches in the Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket League, sponsored by Everards.

Stan Galloway took 5-10 as Barrow bowled out Thorpe Arnold for 122 and Odedra, who made a century in the first match of the season, hit an unbeaten 50 to guide his side to a seven-wicket victory.

Kibworth were inspired by Darren Shaw as they beat Kegworth Town by three wickets to make it four wins out of four. Shaw took 2-23 from ten overs as they bowled out Kegworth for 185, and the all-rounder then made 55 not out as Kibworth edged home.

Loughborough Town had a good run chase at Rothley Park as they emerged victorious for the first time this summer. They overhauled Rothley’s 230-6, for whom Irfan Karim scored 85, with a number of important contributions. Opener Rishi Patel top-scored for Town with 59.  

Matt Twigg continued his terrific form but Leicester Ivanhoe suffered an 18-run setback at Sileby Town.

Dave Torr made 91 as Sileby scored 216-5 and Ivanhoe looked well placed on 120-2. But opener Twigg, who has already scored two unbeaten hundreds this campaign, was eighth out for 79 as Ivanhoe were bowled out for 198.

Lutterworth were without Lewis Hill after his call-up to the Leicestershire first team but they had a good win nevertheless to maintain their unbeaten start.

Openers Matt Pickering (67) and Ollie Pickering (49) led the way in a total of 218-4 and Lutterworth then bowled Syston Town out for 150.

Ben Coddington hit 60 not out to guide Hinckley to victory at Market Harborough. Harborough made 156-9, with Zain Mir scoring 50, but Hinckley won by six wickets.
