National Knockout Cheshire Women's League Nantwich and Leigh exit the competition after great runs to regional finals of National KO … Didsbury well placed in both Division 1 and T20 East … Division 2 still wide open … Woodley and Hawarden maintain unbeaten records in regional Division 3s … Nominations sought for League XI to play MCC NATIONAL KNOCKOUT Northern Regional Final – June 27: Nantwich Vipers 87-4 (20; Katie Haszledine 24) Sessay Emeralds 88-2 (14.3; Amy Burton 38*, Phoebe Turner 25) • Nantwich’s National Knockout adventure ended here in the regional final – the last eight nationally. After some superb wins in previous rounds, the Vipers found the task of beating leading Yorkshire club Sessay just too tough. Northern Regional Plate Final – June 27: Leigh 92-6 (20; Ellie Davey 42, Danielle Collins 26, Ellie Cowley 2-7, Imogen Cooper 2-12) Wrenthorpe 93-3 (18.3; Beth Absolon 22, Gabriella Copley 21) • Leigh – beaten by Nantwich back in the first round – made the most of their early exit from the main competition by proceeding to this stage of the Plate, but like Nantwich today, they probably didn’t post enough runs batting first to be truly competitive. Nevertheless, the achievements this year of the clubs who entered the National have greatly enhanced the League’s standing and showed how well our clubs match up against teams from other leagues. CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Division One – June 20: Oakmere 153 (39; Shami Ahmed 60, Eleanor Brennan 5-22, Emma Royle 2-31) (25pts) Stockport Trinity 132-7 (40; Ellie Mason 82, Sarah McCann 32, Natalie Lyons 5-6, Dawn Prestidge 2- 10) (9pts) • Unbeaten Oakmere negotiated one of the major hurdles in their quest to regain the Championship. Natalie Lyons was their outstanding performer, conceding just six runs in eight overs and claiming a five-wicket haul along the way. For Trinity, Ellie Mason continued her outstanding run of scores, but the team’s attempt to get over the line was frustrated by a string of low individual scores from others. Eleanor Brennan cemented her reputation as one of the league’s rising stars with her second five-wicket haul in a matter of days. Porthill Park 155-9 (40; Ilenia Sims 59, Amy Griffiths 29, Zara Matthews 2-29) (9pts) Didsbury 157-8 (39.4; Rosie Davis 44*, Roshini Prince-Navaratnam 31, Mishel Jeena 24, Matthews 21, Sims 3-33, Lucy Shenton 3-34) (25pts) • Didsbury remain on top for now though but got home with just two wickets and two balls remaining as Porthill came the closest they have so far this year to breaking their duck in Division 1. Didsbury illustrated the depth in their team by using nine different bowlers and still restricting Porthill to less than four per over. The reply began with an opening stand of 60 between Roshini Prince-Navaratnam and Mishel Jeena, but then regular wickets started to fall, with Sims continuing her excellent match with three wickets. Ellie-Mae Davies also bowled her eight overs for just four runs to add to the pressure. However, Rosie Davis played a great anchor role to see her side home. Appleton 139-9 (40; Holly McCurrie 35, Sami Fowler 34*, Daisy Cooke 4-26, Gemma Rose 2-9) (5pts) Chester Boughton Hall 140-2 (34.4; Katie Bennett 52*, Ali Cutler 33, Megan Cureton 22*, Nicole Fisher 20) (25pts) • Chester completed a fourth win in five with eight wickets and more than five overs in hand. Gemma Rose took some early wickets and Daisy Cooke claimed some scalps at the end of the innings to limit Appleton to 139, a target which never troubled Chester. Division Two – June 15: Stockport Georgians 79 (25.5; Becky Scholes 15, Amelia Sammons 3-14, Amanda Gettins 2-14, Beth Caunce 2-25) (3pts) Ashton-on-Mersey 83-1 (19.2; Claire Anderton 39*, Caunce 26*) (25pts) • The form book was turned on its head as Ashton recorded their first league win of the year and consigned Georgians to their first league defeat. For the first time this year, Georgians lost early wickets and never properly recovered, and some composed batting from Claire Anderton and Beth Caunce completed the small run chase. Upton 123-7 (35; Amy Jones 29, Sophie Morris 208, Alexa Harrison 2-18, Freya Davies 2-18) (6pts) Oxton 127-3 (31.4; Harrison 47*, Molly Price 43*) (25pts) • Upton also lost their 100 per cent record as Oxton recorded their third win, with an unbeaten stand of 96 between Alexa Harrison and Molly Price seeing them home. Division 2’s title race looks wide open at present, with Oxton top of the pile but able to be overtaken by all but one of the other teams if games in hand were won. Fixtures awaiting possible re-arrangement: Oxton v Nantwich - Covid self-isolation requirements Porthill Park 2nd XI v Upton - Covid self-isolation requirements Division Three West – June 27: Hawarden Park 112-1 (30; Nicola Deane 56, Abby Mayers 41) (25pts) Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI 107-8 (30; Nandu Valliyil 44, Gemma Rose 25) (5pts) • After a tense finish, Hawarden clung on to preserve their unbeaten record. Fixtures awaiting possible re-arrangement: Hawarden Park v Wistaston Village – no play due to rain on original date Nantwich 2nd XI v Wistaston Village – Nantwich 1st XI involvement in National KO Nantwich 2nd XI v Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI - Covid self-isolation requirements Division Three East – June 15: Lindow 104-5 (20; Claire Ashworth 40*, Michelle Hesslegrave 24) (7pts) Didsbury 2nd XI 107-3 (20; Rosie Davis 53*) • A second last ball finish of the night – see also the T20 Divisional reports below – where Rosie Davis and Chloe Hawes put on 41 undefeated for the fourth wicket to see Didsbury home. June 20: Woodley 88-9 (30; Alex Wilson 24, Lily Humphreys 3-13, Lily Beckley 2-12, Ellie Arkelaos 2-20) (25pts) Lindow 68 (25; Jo Seddon 20, Louise Hughes 3-17, Wilson 2-5) (6pts) • Woodley edged a low scoring contest to maintain their unbeaten league run. June 21: Woodley 112-5 (20; Madison Kay-Breen 38, Marika Smith 30, Marianne Lea 2-5) (25pts) Didsbury 2nd XI 110-6 (20; Rosie Davis 41, Chloe Hawes 24, Karen Pannett 3-16) (8pts) • Woodley’s 100 per cent league record came under serious threat as Didsbury threatened to chase down their imposing target, only to fall agonizingly short. Unfortunately, Langley have decided to withdraw from this year's Division 3 East. They will continue to field a softball team in Division 5 and hope to be in a position to field a hardball team in next year's Division 4. Fixtures awaiting possible re-arrangement: Didsbury 2nd XI v Hayfield – no play due to rain on original date Division Four – June 24: Hawk Green 61 (18.3; Grace Bell 3-7, Chloe Waites 2-12, Hannah Budgell 2-21) (4pts) Stockport Georgians 2nd XI 65-1 (11.3; Blessing Neththasinghe 21*) • A massively encouraging result for Georgians, whose inexperienced line up had little difficulty here. June 27: Hawk Green 78-5 (20; Olivia Gladwin 3-8) (7pts) Lymm Oughtrington Park 82-5 (14; Gladwin 20*) • Olivia Gladwin was in form with bat and ball to fire Lymm to their first win of the year. Heaton Mersey & Cheadle 88-6 (20; Becky Scholes 4-3, Amelia Brereton 2-14) (6pts) Stockport Georgians 2nd XI 89-3 (15.5; Brereton 35ret, Louisa Boyle 35ret) (25pts) (Two Georgians wickets were Retired Out so bonus points are not allocated for these) • A second commanding win in a matter of days for the young Stockport Georgians team sent them to the top of the table. Fixtures awaiting possible re-arrangement: HM/Cheadle v Lymm – Lymm unable to fulfil fixture on original date Division Five West: Leigh 2nd XI 356, Runcorn 347 Division Five East: Stockport Georgians 3rd XI 391, Macclesfield 367 Langley 2nd XI 626, Macclesfield 579 The recent Committee meeting agreed that matches may be re-arranged for dates up to and including September 26. A reminder of the bonus points system in operation in League matches. Club representatives are urged to ensure the bonus points boxes are completed correctly when entering results on Play Cricket. Bonus points are only awarded to losing teams and to teams in abandoned matches. Bowling points in all divisions: one each on taking 1,3,5,7 and 9 wickets Batting points: • Division 1: one on reaching each of 50,75,100,125 and 150 runs • Division 2: one on reaching each of 50,70,90,110 and 130 runs • Division 3/4 30 over: one on reaching each of 60,75,90,105 and 120 runs • Division 3/4 20 over: one on reaching each of 40,50,60,70 and 80 runs (In weather affected matches, the bonus point milestones are reduced on a pro rata basis, so in a division 1 match reduced to 20 overs, maximum batting points are achieved at 75 runs) This has been sent to League captains and managers this week … I would like to invite you to nominate players from your club for the Cheshire Women's League XI to play the MCC on Thursday August 12 at 11.30am at Nantwich CC. It's unlimited nominations per club now, so feel free to nominate anyone you think deserves to play. Any supporting information about why you feel any one player particularly deserves a place in the team will be very welcome as well. Senior county players can be nominated, as can players from clubs outside Cheshire, as can players who represent counties other than Cheshire.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Porthill Wrap up Western Division with Two Matches to Spare Despite Being
    Porthill wrap up Western Division with two matches to spare despite being given another scare by Upton … Didsbury edge the first of the two top of the table clashes in the Eastern Division, but Trinity remain in the hunt … September is ECB’s Women’s Cricket Big Month CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Summer Series Western Division – August 30: Porthill Park 60-9 (30; Becky Cripwell 29, Philippa Dagger 3-5, Madi Arthur 2-9, Hannah McGowan 2- 10, Sophie Morris 2-11) (25pts) Upton 51-9 (30; Charlie Scudder 12, Amy Scerri 3-12, Cripwell 2-2, Lucy Shenton 2-4, Grace Potts 2- 5) (5pts) • Porthill Park are the winners of the Western Division for 2020, sealing the honours with two matches to spare. The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.

  • Dinner Newsletter
    LEAGUE NEWSLETTER: NOVEMBER 2016 Keeping you connected … What kind of Sunday 3rd XI cricket do you want? CLUBS attending the Special General Sunday Third XI meeting at Warrington on October 19 were asked to state the type of cricket they prefer to play in 2017. A satisfactory turn out of 34 clubs spoke mainly in favour of continuing with the current five division regionalised league structure, although with the rules of selection relaxed in some way to allow young 1st XI players to take part and improve what is perceived to be their alternative discipline. A number of other clubs spoke in favour of forming a friendly structure with up to 12 games per season because they were unable to commit to a full competitive programme, yet wanted Sunday cricket for their players. It was suggested that these fixtures would be set out by the league and structured in a geographical manner as far as possible, without any qualification restrictions. Chairman David Humpage said after the meeting: “We need to find out which format clubs prefer next season. We shall be asking all clubs to respond to a questionnaire as set out below. QUESTION 1: Would you prefer to play in: (a) The current league structure or (b) A friendly structure QUESTION 2: How many teams would your club anticipate fielding in either category. QUESTION 3: If it proves impractical to operate a friendly structure for numerical or geographical reasons, would your club in (b) be willing to take part in a league structure? Clubs were asked to respond by e-mail to: [email protected] by November 30.

  • Champions Hyde Rout Toft for 85
    Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 5 - MAY 21 Champions Hyde rout Toft for 85 A WEEK after amassing 372-6 at Chester, Toft were rolled over for 85 at home to Hyde, who showed they are determined to complete a hat-trick of ECB Premier League titles. Put in to bat, hitherto unbeaten Toft were dismissed in 25 overs by Aussie paceman Will Walker, 5-36 and spinner Dan Cranmer, 4-25. Nine Toft batsmen were out for single figures, top scorer being the erstwhile prolific Rob Jones, with 21. In reply, Hyde posted 87-1 in 11 overs, Harry Dearden 34 not out Alderley Edge made it four wins in five at the top of the table at promoted Timperley, whom they bowled out for 107. The damage – in the absence of Jordan Clark – was done by by Richard Wilkinson, 4-23 and Andy Windle 4-27. Only Mike Ness, with 37, put up much resistance. Alderley also struggled in reply against the pace of Jack White (4- 50) before reaching 110-6, Calum Rowe 26. Highest scoring game was at Parkgate, where Neston and Bramhall totalled 554 runs in a highly- entertaining draw. For Neston, Simon Mugava scored 155 out of 288-6, an innings including 20 fours and three sixes in company with Pritvi Sarvaija, 44 in a fifth wicket stand worth 160. Aussie Dale McKay was in prime form in Bramhall’s reply, an innings of 152 carrying his side to 268-9. Neston shaded the points 15 – 7. Rain deprived Nantwich of a home victory over Cheadle after they had posted 212, Ray Doyle 81, Nathan Buck 3-53.
