Yorkshire doomed by Chapple burst - Brian Bearshaw

Lancashire (210-7) beat Yorkshire (174-9) by 36 runs

THREE wickets in Glen Chapple`s opening five overs paved the  way
for  Lancashire`s  ninth  Sunday  league win and maintained their
challenge for the title.

He removed Martyn Moxon, David Byas and Michael Vaughan, and with
Ian    Austin   quickly  removing  the  dangerous  Michael Bevan,
Yorkshire were 47 for four in the 11th over. It was all over,   a
disappointing dish to set before an enthusiastic crowd of 11,286.

Warnings about  what  might  happen  to  anybody  guilty  of  bad
language,  obscene  chanting and drunkenness were followed by the
announcement that G Stand would be non-alcoholic for the   after-
noon.   Needless  to  say,  G  Stand,  which  holds fewer  than a
thousand, was the most sparsely populated area on the ground.

The high spot of Lancashire`s 210 for seven was another fine  in-
nings by the tireless Neil Fairbrother, who scored an unbeaten 60
in 58 balls to hold the middle of the  innings together.   Little
wonder he received #1,567 in a collection for his benefit.

Fairbrother regularly pierced the field, teased the  bowlers  and
scuttled the ones and twos while batting for an hour and a half.

Yorkshire did not remotely threaten to  recover  after  Chapple`s
opening burst, despite an unbeaten 53 from Richard Blakey.
