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. Among clubs not currently members of the league’s 3rd XI Sunday set-up who were present at the meeting were Caldy, Frodsham, Oulton Park and Winnington Park. PETER LAWSON TO STAND DOWN David Humpage told the League Cricket Committee’s October meeting that Peter Lawson will step down for medical reasons from all cricket administration when he has completed the questionnaire project. NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER: p2 FORTIES WELCOME WHALLEY RANGE(RS) A CLUB from outside the Cheshire county boundary was admitted to the Over 40s section for the first time at their Special General Meeting in order to complete four divisions of eight in 2017. Chairman David Humpage told the meeting at Warrington on October 19 that Whalley Range were a sound, well-run club, but their admission had to be viewed as a one- off purely to enable the Forties to play more cricket. Currently members of the Greater Manchester League, Whalley Range were given the unanimous support of the 18 clubs present. They will operate as Whalley Rangers in the eight-strong North-East Division alongside Bowdon, Bowdon Vale, Brooklands, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Sale and Urmston . It was agreed that Bramhall would move back to the South-East Division, also with eight teams alongside Alderley Edge, Bollington, Bredbury, Macclesfield, Offerton, Poynton and Woodley. The Central and West divisions to remain unchanged. The 2017 fixture dates will run from Wednesday, May 3 to Wednesday, August 3, with quarter-finals on Wednesday, August 10 or by Sunday, August 20 at the latest. Due to player unavailability on the Bank Holiday, future Finals will be played in September. Pink balls to be used Clubs agreed to experiment with the use of pink balls in the first two and the last week of the season and for one other fixture to be mutually agreed. They will also be used by clubs in the quarter-finials and provided by the league on Finals day. The cost per ball was about £6. It was resolved that only Reader cricket balls as provided by the league should be used in all other fixtures. This means that clubs from outside the league will have to obtain a supply. In his annual report, Competition secretary Mike Talbot-Butler regretted the record number of 16 fixtures which had been conceded last season, compared with three in 2015. He urged clubs to try and strengthen their squads and to consider fielding nine or 10 men rather than cancel fixtures on the day of the match. There had again been talk among clubs of creating separate competitive and friendly sections, but nothing positive had transpired. Clubs should apply the age limit strictly as there had been another breach of the rule last season, involving Grappenhall, which had resulted in their forfeiture of 28 points. He congratulated Neston on retaining the Finals Day play-off trophy and Warrington on their excellent match-day arrangements. Robin Maddocks is Eggheads winner TIMPERLEY stalwart Robin Maddocks was in the Bowdon Griffin pub quiz team which recently beat the famous Eggheads to land a £4,000 prize on BBC 2 television. A retired police officer, Robin said: “We were treated like royalty; taxi to the station, train to Glasgow, taxi to the studio, an overnight hotel, then back home next day.” The Griffin beat the Eggheads on the final question “What national newspaper does Chris Evans edit?” The experts did not know that it was the Daily Telegraph Robin went on: “We were delighted as the Eggheads fielded their best team including the wonderful Kevin. The MC Jeremy Vine treated us well and was most professional”. The Griffin, who play in a local quiz league, fielded a team of five plus a reserve who was Robin’s wife Sue, so the Maddocks went away with £666 each. They have used part to decorate the house, with a little left over for a holiday in Crete”. The television programme was shown live - amid much joy - at Timperley Cricket Club. NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER: p3 Proposed changes to League rules & regs THE final 2016 meeting of the League Cricket Committee agreed on a set of proposals to put before clubs for initial consideration at the November Management meeting at Timperley on November 16. Voting on all changes will be made at the January Management /AGM at Bowdon on Wednesday, January 18, 2017.

The Executive to refer all decisions to the Cricket Committee for ratification. Captains committee O A Captains committee of six members will consider all playing matters. They shall act as a bridge between the players and the Cricket Committee to whom it will make recommendations for change. O In the Over 40s section, only balls approved by the league shall be used. Pink balls to be used for the first two weeks and last week of the season, plus one other to be mutually agreed; also from the quarter-finals onwards. Finals Day to be staged on a Sunday date, rather than on Bank Holiday Monday. Earlier starts? O Due to increasing light problems, all Saturday match start times to be brought forward: alternative proposals to be put before clubs.

NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER: p4 Club News MACC CHAIRMAN’S AWARD CHAIRMAN of Macclesfield Simon Griffiths has been named Cheshire East Council Volunteer of the Year and presented with a handsome trophy. Organised by Everybody, a charity organisation attached to Cheshire East Council, the award recognises outstanding unpaid work in the community and Simon’s achievements heading up new ventures on the Macclesfield ground have been justly recognised. Beating four other candidates, Simon is quoted in the October issue of the Club Newsletter: “I am really taken aback by winning this award which I dedicate to all the other outstanding volunteers at the club.” Dave Frame has stood down as Macclesfield Forties captain. New Davenham sponsors DAVENHAM have announced a sponsorship deal with builders Stewart Milne Homes which will give them funds to buy for new coaching equipment.

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.

    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.

Madi Hudson was the hero, leading the way with 71 at almost a run a ball, being joined by Charlotte Neal for a century partnership. Leyland lost regular wickets in reply as they struggled with their imposing target. A trip to Yorkshire to play Sessay – the club that defeated Didsbury at the same stage in 2018 and 2019 – now awaits the Vipers.

Aug ust 5: Chester Boughton Hall 126 (37.3; Ali Cutler 39, Charlotte Thompson 24, Kathryn Jackson 3-25, Nathalie Long 3-29, Sami Fowler 2-8) (6pts) Appl eton 128-4 (30.5; Emma Barlow 86*, Cutler 2-16) (25pts) • A massive result for Appleton as they seek to close in on the Championship crown. Emma Barlow played another matchwinning innings as they beat Chester for a staggering fifth time this season – home and away in both Division One and the T20 Western Division, and a semi-final of the Knockout Cup. An Oakmere victory over Appleton next week could still change things, especially if Oakmere can also restrict Appleton’s bonus point tally.

Still without a win, the Potteries side saw all their batters bar Ilenia Sims sent back cheaply by Ellie Mason and Emma Royle.

Roshini Prince-Navaratnam batted superbly before falling for 105 just before the close, having reached her fifty with only 65 on the board and then adding another 65 for the third wicket with Rosie Davies in the period when the game really turned in Didsbury’s favour.

  • 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.

Here Appleton went down to defeat, joining the list of division one sides who won one and lost one of their first two matches this year. Chester meanwhile recorded a second win from three here, with Ali Cutler once again to the fore. Tilly Buss then played her part, conceding three runs in a five over spell. Oakmere, who have suffered two washouts after their opening win, are now the only unbeaten side in the top-flight, and a genuinely competitive title race could be on the cards. May 30: Porthill Park 70 (29; Lucy Shenton 19*, Rosie Wilson 3-3, Stacey Miles 2-19) (2pts) Didsbury 73-2 (24.3; Hannah Marshall 40*, Shenton 2-10) (25pts) • This clash of the top two from the last full season in 2019 went decisively the way of Didsbury, as Porthill's batting again failed to fire. Rosie Wilson's superb spell of three for three in five overs led the way in the field, before Hannah Marshall anchored the run chase, getting her side home without alarm.
