Not one batsman from bottom-of-the-table Goldsborough Second XI managed to hit a run in the match against league leaders Dishforth.

Dishforth sent their opponents back to the pavilion in 12 overs.

The visiting side's only points came from four byes and a leg bye.

It’s thought to be the lowest score in the 112-year history of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League in North Yorkshire, northern England.

However Goldsborough's effort was not as bad as the 1931 English Midlands side Shepstone's XI who were all out for four extras.
