Burnhill stars as Kimberley make it three out three in the Premier Division
Harry Burnhill shone with bat and ball as Kimberley Institute continued their 100 per cent start to the new Notts Premier League season with a six-wicket win at Papplewick & Linby.
Papplewick won the toss and chose to bat – and quickly wished they hadn’t as they were skittled for just 87 in 28 overs.
Only four Papplewick batters reached double figures as they were blown away by Kimberley’s new-ball pair of Burnhill (4-30) and Joe Boocker (3-19).
Kimberley made a stumbled to 34-3 early on in their reply but that was merely the cue for Burnhill to take centre stage again as he completed a fine all-round display with 35 to see Kimberley home at 88-4 in just under 30 overs.
