Presentation Night. 15 year old Jack has won countless awards in his 9 seasons with Oakworth Cricket Club, many of course at junior level. But now he has won a place in the club's First XI, principally as a leg-spin bowler. he is now starting to make the senior Craven & District League take notice. On Saturday 26th June in a top-five Division One encounter Jack winkled out 5 Haworth Road batsmen in his 15 overs. Hainsworth, Rodwell, Khan, Mahmood and Rauf can all pay testimony to his bowling wiles as Jack's contribution played a major part in Oakworth's Tie with the Shipley side. The performance is the youngest five-for by an Oakworth First XI player. At the time Jack was 15.5 years old. the previous record was set 23 years ago in 1987 by Mick Howard, who was then aged 16.9 years. So Jack is comfortably the youngest to achieve the feat. It is a sign of the times at Oakworth as earlier this season Ricky Linden became the 7th (now 8th) youngest to take a five-for with his 6-43 versus Bingley Congs on 17th April, aged 18.2 years. The youthful bowling attack can only get better! |
