Pothecary for another bold cover drive and the 100 went up In 140 minutes with the crowd now over the 3000 mark The left-hander missed when trying to sweep McKinnon however and his tendency to chase

months to the day Stobart heard the great news Just two months to the day on which he made his flrst-tearp debut It was against Manchester United and that day he came in for the injured Murray at centre-forward He stayed for three more matches His up experience amounts to one game against Leicester at Filbert Street in the sixth round He did not play in the senior side again until last match

games and scored six goals in additlon to playing in a semi-final but has been off form In recent weeks And a sad day too for Tipton-born inside-forward Mason a regular first-team player all season He has played in every Cup-tie His consolation was a place In the party which left Molineux for a secret Cup hide-out this afternoon Also in the party were Stewart Mannion and Sldebottom Stobart joined Wolves in December 1955 shortly after his 17th birthday He is a product of Wath Wanderers the North Country nursery side that also produced Flowers Mr Cullis said: Is a tribute to the efficiency of this organisation and Mark Crook our old player who runs the team that the youngsters have developed so Blackburn fully expect that Irish centre-forward Dougan to be fit but as a precaution they are

On a near perfect pitch four wickets fell for 56 runs against some accurate spin bowling by Bridge and Ibadulla Included in them was Subba tempted out by Ibadulla just when he looked like developing into a real menace to hopes Warwickshire declared at 345 for seven and after a steady start Northants were changed to a struggling side Warwickshire's speed in the field kept down the boundary rate and the first four came from Norman a neat deflection to leg after half-an-hour In which the pair had added 32 runs When Reynolds thumped Ibadulla past Horner for 4 he sent the 60 up in an hour Including the five play last night Townsend came on and got a quick result with a ball pitched so far up that when It hit Reynolds' middle stump It was very nearly a full toss Maybe the batsman thought It was too for he lashed out at It He had hit three 4's In his 25 LIKES BOWLING Norman who obviously likes the Warwickshire bowling for he scored his maiden century at Edgbaston last season hovered short of his 50 for some time The 100 went up In five minutes short of two hours and then Norman progressed to 60 with two singles It had taken him two hours and contained only three 4's It was 107 for one at lunch but within minutes of the restart Northants lost Watts He tried to force Bridge away on the off-side but lifted It hard but straight at Cartwright who held a good catch Subba Row remained at 1 for a quarter of an hour and scoring was at a crawl It was when Subba Row attempted to liven It up that he skied one from Ibadulla right to the spot where Smith had Just moved
