Hickleton Spoil Chance of Test Appearance.

Hickleton practically put paid to their last chance of appearing in the tests by losing badly at Swinton yesterday, in the second round of the Swinton Feast matches.

Their batsmen collapsed unaccountably and the whole side were out before four o’clock. Hart bowled six overs and took four wickets for 5 runs. Pearson took four for 39.
