Schmulian and Hussain lead Woodlands to national success

Woodlands CC raced into the third round of the ECB National Club Championship when they hammered Yorkshire Southern Premier League side Doncaster Town.

Brad Schmulian (70no) and Mosun Hussain (63no) led the side home by a nine-wicket margin as they took just 27.2 overs to complete their victory.

Schmulian’s 67-ball knock included 11 boundaries while Hussain continued his good form when hitting two sixes and six fours – with the pair putting on 138 in an unbroken second-wicket stand.

A good job in the field had paved the way for the success with Doncaster bowled out for 141 as Scott Richardson led the attack with 3-30 and there were two wickets each for Schmulian and Muhammad Bilal.

Woodlands travel to South Northumberland in the next round on June 21.

In the Heavy Woollen Cup Hanging Heaton stunned last season’s beaten finalists Shepley when defeating them by 43 runs in a first round tie.

Victory had not looked likely at half-way after they had lost their last seven wickets for 31 and were all out for just 114, with captain Luke Patel (25) and Bradley Wood (24) top scoring.

But they hit back impressively with a superb effort in the field as they bowled out their hosts for 71.

Zahir Abbas ripped through the top order with 5-27 and Upul Indrasiri gave great support with 3-2.
