Cricket: Cleethorpes hope for an Osmond recovery
CLEETHORPES first team travel to Leeds tomorrow to face Yorkshire Academy (noon start) hoping that Alex Osmond recovers from the back injury that kept him out of last weekend's abandoned draw with Castleford 1sts.
With cousin Rory Osmond out injured with back problems of his own, and Charlie Tomlinson also unavailable, Indy Hayre keeps his place with Callum Robinson is also included.

TENSE TIMES: Cleethorpes batsman Bill Kirby anxiously watches an inside edge bounce over his stumps in last week’s match against Castleford.
Bowling has been the Meggies strong suit this season, but they have struggled with their batting – only three half centuries have been recorded in the first eight games.
Alex Osmond and Graham Hume currently lead the Cleethorpes bowling tally with 18 league wickets each – the latter in particular has looked more dangerous lately with the wickets starting to dry out.
