JUNIOR COACHING SESSIONS

This week the coaching for every age group of the juniors will be condensed into one long session. So this week’s coaching and next week (probably our last session depending upon the amount of natural light) will be held on Fridays starting this week and the session starting at 5.30 for the youngest Juniors followed by all other ages from 6.30. CELEBRITY CRICKET MATCH No. 9 – NOTTINGHAMSHIRE CCC – 20/8/1996

The last Celebrity cricket match in which LHCC participated took place at Ley Hill on 20th August 1996 and was a benefit match for Nottinghamshire CCC player Andy Pick. Notts played a Ley Hill side which was captained by Mark Ilott (Essex CCC), whom we had met at the Essex match two months earlier.

Paul Wilkinson was a Ley Hill player who was “lent” to Notts to make up their numbers. He ended up being their best taker with 3 for 32. Paul’s nickname was “The Claw” and if you had seen him bowl, you would have known why! Umpires for this match were Bill Phillips and Dave Parkhouse. The scorer was once again Eleanor Phillips.

Until next week, stay safe.
