Dave Shaw Cup 2015

Sunday 3rd May 2015:

Here we go again folks! Another season of fun packed Sunday afternoons with Cropwell Cricket Club.
A big crowd turned out on Sheldon Field this afternoon and were treated to bouncy castles for the young ones, a BAR-B-Q and refreshments and even a few fireworks out in the middle. The game itself was a cracker, it had over 350 runs scored, 16 wickets taken and dollies thrown out of the prams by both captains.

A damp and dismal start to the day had seen a few people doubt the game would go ahead, but luckily the rain subsided and the clouds thinned leaving a lovely early afternoon that saw the Butler captain win the toss and ask Bishop to bat.

Butler Captain Jason Britton, Bishop Captain Rowland Lee and Umpire Simon Barlow.

A decision that appeared very justified as the Bishop openers were both back in the pavilion within the first couple of overs with no runs on the board to speak of. The Bishop ship was steadied by the first fifty of the season by Darren Johnson, quickly followed by a great 69 by Neil King ably assisted by cameos by Daniel Lee 21, Rowland Lee 18, Max Sowter 11, John Bradley 8 and James Buckley wayed in with a run a ball 6. All of this meant Butler had to chase a mammoth 204 for victory.

Darren Johnson pulls Greg McLeod for 4, on his way to 50

Neil King drives the ball back down the pitch

Just as the players came off for the break the heavens opened. The covers were put on the wicket and the players ran to dry themselves off.

The run chase was on.... unfortunately the rains at tea had created a slight problem at one end of the pitch, the bowler was slipping in his delivery stride and a bag of sawdust was called for! They say catches win matches Bishop held on to a couple of beauts early on.

Andrew Black gets a hug from his son Max, after taking a smart catch at square leg.

Now who would of thought the re-appearance of that bag of sawdust could turn both team captains in to a pair of old fish wives, bickering and moaning... One walking off the pitch and had to be persuaded to return. It was like a scene from the comic strip!

Fortunately calmer heads returned and the game began to become more tense, Fred Dulwich with a fantastic 72 not out, ably assisted by Jason Britton 31 and Will Hunt 23 started to get ever closer to the target they needed for victory.

Fred Dulwich punishes another short ball on his way to 72 not out.

   

Falling short after a fantastic spell of bowling by Neil King who finished with figures of 4.3 overs 3 wickets for 13 runs. Bishop bowled Butler out for 160 in just under 38 overs.

Race Night

CCC v's Wellow

Cropwell Cricket Club v's Wellow Cricket Club.

Today's write up is done by special guest Master Felix Boon.............

I went to watch grandad play cricket today, to my surprise he was playing for the other team. Wellow Cricket Club had arrived with only nine players, being a fair minded captain, Neil asked them if they wanted grandad to play for them and they said yes.

After a while the Wellow captain asked grandad if he wanted to bowl.... He caught and bowled Mr Dulwich and had the Captain caught in the covers. With grandad's help, Wellow bowled CCC all out for only 74 runs.

Cropwell replied well with the ball, taking wickets at regular intervals Simon and Gareth bowling fantastically well, getting CCC back into the game, Kingy and Greg continued where the opening bowlers had left off. Just after the drinks break at 21 overs they took the 8th wicket for 65 runs, meaning grandad had to go into bat against his own team needing nine runs for him and Wellow to win. With 1's and 2's being scored at a reasonable rate it wasn't long before grandad was facing Greg needing 1 to draw and 2 to win. Greg came in bowled and grandad

It doesn't matter if grandad got the runs or if Greg got the wicket, it was a great game of cricket enjoyed by everyone

My hero.

Butler v Bishop - Sunday May 5th - David Shaw Shield

Well the summer finally arrived and the much awaited first game of the season was upon us. With the teams sorted for the village battle, the 2 captains for the day, Greg McLeod for Butler & Michael Campbell for Bishop, met on the square for the all important toss. Greg won and decided to put Bishop into bat, much to the dissapointment of Alan Collier, who was hoping for an early arrival at the Plough!! Greg was hoping that the first wicket of the season might aid the bowlers early doors and make it hard for the batsman. Unfortunately, Bishop stirred by their captain to build a big innings, began in confident mood. With only the loss of James Buckley early (I still think the decision was payback for the runout at Colston!!), the Bishop batsmen put on a large score of 219-9. Main contributions from Suttle 47, Lee 43, Johnson 32 and King 62 not out. With tea out of the way the Bishop bowlers quickly set about trying to get through the Butler team as soon as possible. Along the way they met some sturdy resistance from Anwar (15) and young Harry Britton, who at the age of 10, faced a total of 33 balls and was not out at the end of the innings. Butler fell short however, being all out for 55. The game was played in fantastic spririt with everyone seeming to have a good day, even Andrew Black, who was bowled out by his own son, Max!!!

Well done everyone involved.....look forward to the next game...
