Ribblesdale League: Harvey off the mark with a ton The Lancashire Evening Telegraph - 19 April 1999 Padiham professional Mark Harvey launched the Jennings Ribblesdale League season with a blistering century. Harvey set his side up for a superb victory over Settle and was partnered by John Hartley who scored 59 not out. Padiham rattled up a total of 180-2 and Settle made just 98-6 in reply but Mark Verden had 70 not out. Cherry Tree launched their campaign with a comfortable victory over Oswaldtwistle. The Blackburn club scored 145-9 thanks to 66 not out from big-hitting Paul Reed and Ossie struggled to 116-7 in reply. Dexter Fitton was called in as sub-professional for Ribblesdale Wanderers when Shahid Nawaz failed to show and earned his keep with a superb knock of 70 not out to take them to victory over Whalley who had earlier held out at 102-9 with Barry Spencer taking six for 29. Peter Sleep started his season with a hat-trick for Read as they held Barnoldswick to just 97-8. The visitors recorded a five wicket win in just 29.2 overs. Neil Bolton scored 72 not out for Clitheroe as they marched to 172-6, but Blackburn Northern pulled off a run-rate victory in their rain-affected game. Jonathan Fielding was deputy professional for Great Harwood at The Cliffe and scored 55 to set the side up for victory despite a 4-37 for new Baxenden pro Ronnie Davies. Mark Rishton hit 56 in reply but Stuart Maher did the damage in a fine spell of 5-16. Results:
Whalley 102-9, Ribblesdale Wdrs 104-4 (5 pts); Edenfield v Earby match abandoned.
