Interestingly, all the ten wickets fell to catches, each batsman having managed to strike the ball.

Undeterred, the team set about defending their meagre total and snapped up two quick wickets without conceding a run.

Their hopes were dashed, however, when the third batsman for Dishforth, the home side, earned victory for his team through the only runs to come from the bat in the match.

The match is thought to be the lowest scoring game in the 112-year history of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League in North Yorkshire.

Wisden Almanack, the cricketers' bible, described Disforth's feat as very rare.

Chris Lane, Wisden's managing director, said it was also amazing that every Goldsborough batsman had been caught.

"Having all put bat to ball, it's quite extraordinary that they didn't manage to get a single run," he said.
