DINNER NEWSLETTER: P12 Cheshire County Cricket League Keeping you connected … DECEMBER, 2016 NEWSLETTER WISHES … A HAPPY CHRISTMAS & NEW VEAR TO ALL CHESHIRE CRICKET LOVERS When England’s ‘Baby Boycott’ played for Nantwich A SMART piece of research has revealed that Haseeb Hameed, England’s new opening batsman on the Indian tour, played six games in the ECB Premier League for Nantwich in 2014 while a 17 year-old at the Lancashire Academy. Hameed’s record with the Dabbers was as follows: Home to Bowdon on June 28: lbw Ashling 0. Nantwich won Home to Toft July 5: st Bajha b Lomas 44. Nantwich lost. Away to Alderley Edge on July 12: c Worrall b Foreman 32. Match abandoned Home to Urmston on July 26: lbw Sydall 1. Match drawn Home to Grappenhall on September 6: b Guest 7. Nantwich won Away to Bowdon on September 13: b Ashling 11. Nantwich won. That’s 94 runs from six innings, average 15.66 and twice dismissed by Bowdon’s former Glamorgan paceman Chris Ashling! Nantwich committeeman Neil Forster told Newsletter: “It was obvious from the moment Haseeb took guard in the first game that he was destined for bigger things. While he didn’t get any big scores for us, he showed against Toft and Alderley Edge that he was a class act. He always had a smile on his face and was very good to have around. We are not surprised he has done so well and expect him to come right to the fore next summer for England”. O Newsletter thanks League secretary Geoff Wellsteed for the stats. GW is currently in India watching the 4th and 5th Tests at Mumbai and Chennai - along with several other Cheshire colleagues - but won’t see the young Boltonian in action as he flew home to have a smashed finger operated on after his brilliant unbeaten 59 in the Test defeat at Mohali. Haseeb has now returned to India to watch the remaining Tests – there’s team spirit for you! DECEMBER NEWSLETTER: p2 Proposed changes to rules & regs THE November meeting of the League Management Committee at Timperley voted to allow a set of proposals to go forward for ratification or rejection at the Management and Annual general meetings at Bowdon on Tuesday, January 17 The full list of proposals - outlined in the November Newsletter - has been circulated to all clubs by League secretary Geoff Wellsteed. They can also be located on the league’s Pitchero website. O FINES incurred by teams in 1st and 2nd XI cricket last season totalled £1,230. A total of 41 fines at £15 were imposed on clubs in both 1st and 2nd XI cricket, principally for late reporting of results on the website. Joseph Holt T20 plans CLUBS at the League’s November management meeting indicated that they did not support any great change in the Joseph Holt T20 tournament in 2017. A suggestion by Nantwich to stage an early round involving 12 groups of three clubs on May Bank Holiday did not gain support and the mid-week format will be largely unchanged, although clubs will be reminded that they can switch to Sundays by mutual agreement, Finals Day is expected to be on Sunday, July 9 which steers clear of Cheshire county dates. All 36 clubs will be taking part including newcomers Bredbury St. Mark’s and Romiley. Rob Arnold is drawing up detailed proposals to put before the January management, meanwhile Secretary Geoff Wellsteed invites clubs to offer their ground to stage the event, which Toft did so successfully last season. FORTIES FIXTURES OUT FIRST 2017 League fixtures have been produced by 1st XI Competition secretary Ian Sharrock for the Over Forties section and are available on the websites. Forties cricket will again comprise four divisions of eight clubs, playing 14 fixtures each between Wednesday, May 3 and Wednesday, August 2. This will be followed by the quarter-finals featuring the top two teams in each division, the champion team having home advantage on Wednesday, August 9 or by Sunday, August 20 at the latest. The draw is: West winners v Central runners-up Central winners v West runners-up North East winners v South East runners up South East winners v North East runners-up. New club Whalley Rangers have been placed in the North-East division, with Bramhall reverting to the South East Division. Finals Day will be on a Sunday, probably in September. Offers for use of a ground are invited by the Competition secretary on [email protected] Next League president CHAIRMAN David Humpage told the November management meeting at Timperley that Mike Talbot-Butler was to be proposed as League President at the AGM at Bowdon on Tuesday, January 21, when John Bygate stands down after his two years in office. MTB replied that – like Donald Trump – he would be delighted to serve as president-elect for the next two months.

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. MARPLE ENJOY GOOCH FORMER Essex and England captain Graham Gooch was guest speaker at MARPLE’S Sportsman’s Dinner in mid-November.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Cheshire County
    2012 season: September 15 Newsletter URMSTON & WIDNES RELEGATED Nantwich complete title hat-trick NANTWICH completed a richly-deserved hat-trick of ECB Premier League championships on a momentous final day at Toft when they chalked up their eighth victory in nine completed games since the season’s halfway mark. They finish 12 points clear of Hyde, who also won their final game, at Marple. Receiving the trophy from League chairman David Humpage after the close of play, Nantwich skipper Andy Newton told a large crowd: “It has been a wonderful run-in for us to win this trophy a third time. We have done it in a different way, with some different players, but it’s been just as satisfying”. Amid rumours that he intends to stand down rather than try to top the hat-trick records of Bowdon (2002-03-04) and Oulton Park (2005-6-7), the Dabbers’ popular skipper said he planned to go on holiday to Portugal to contemplate. His team looked in trouble when they were reduced to 70-6, Jonny Kettle 26, by Toft’s young spinners, but a chancy 29 – the top innings of the day - by paceman Jimmy Warrington and Sam Hunt’s useful 21 helped them limp to 126. For Toft, Jimmy Lomas claimed 6-82 and Rob Jones 3-25. On a poor wicket shorn of all grass and with crumbling dust, Toft were reduced to 7-5 by Nantwich’s pacemen. England junior Jones, 28 and Ed Stubbs, 21, put up mature resistance, but were eventually were no match for the varied attack of Chris Connolly, who wound up with 5-27, left-arm spinner Ollie Griffiths, 2-9 off 12 accurate overs and the league’s top wicker-taker Warrington, 2-15 as they fell to 80 all out.

  • Hawk Green Seeking to Join League in 2019
    Cheshire County Cricket League APRIL, 2018 NEWSLETTER Hawk Green seeking to join League in 2019 DERBYSHIRE & Cheshire League club Hawk Green have applied to join the Vivio Cheshire County League at the end of the 2018 season. With a fine ground at Rhode Field, Upper Hibbert Lane, situated a couple of miles from Marple, Hawk Green made a formal application to switch leagues via the Cheshire Clubs Cricket Committee. The development was subsequently discussed between the officers of the County and Cheshire Leagues and, considering the strength of the club and its impressive facilities, it was agreed to advocate that Hawk Green be admitted to the County League for the 2019 season, to play in Division Two. If a proposal that they should be admitted, to be made by Didsbury and seconded by Tattenhall, is ratified at the League management meeting at Warrington on Wednesday, April 11, only the bottom club in Division 2 will be relegated from the County League and only the champion club promoted from the UK Fast League at the end of the 2018 campaign. Hawk Green 2nd XI would then also be promoted to play in the County League’s Second Division. Reporting to the League’s March Cricket Committee, chairman David Humpage said: “Hawk Green are the current Derbyshire and Cheshire League champions and have good playing strength throughout the club, and they possess a ground which easily passes muster. While some people in the UK Fast League felt Hawk Green should start at the bottom of the pyramid and work their way up, it was the general consensus that Hawk Green were of sufficient calibre to merit a place in the County League in 12 months’ time”.

  • Leaders Toft Tie with Bottom Club Cheadle
    ! Cheshire County Cricket League ! 2015 NEWSLETTER: WEEK 14 - ULY 18 Leaders Toft tie with bottom club Cheadle CHEADLE moved off bottom place in the ECB Premier League when they claimed 16 tie points from a thrilling game against leaders Toft at Kingsway. Toft’s advantage is reduced to 15 points, while Neston sink to the foot of the table. Cheadle were put in and totalled 183, Greg Dixon 81, Rob Jones 4-67. Toft did not enjoy their usual batting fluency and needed a good knock from skipper Toby Drummond, 44 to give themselves a chance after slumping to 70-6. Fine bowling by Aussie Matt Fotia, 4-43 put Toft behind, but with one ball left they needed two to win and their last batsman Jimmy Lomas was run out going for the second – by star turn Fotia – leaving them on 183 all out. Chester Boughton Hall failed to close the gap, losing by three wickets to old rivals Hyde at Werneth Low after running up 207, Jack Williams contributing an unbeaten 77 at number 8, while Jason Whittaker took 5-78. For Hyde, Harry Dearden was bowled by Alex Kegg for 99, then Rob Brierley and Jason Whittaker, both 33, helped their side over the line at 208-7. Kegg finished with 4-59. Alderley Edge and Nantwich both won to move in to second and third places respectively. Alderley’s victory was by eight wickets at Grappenhall chasing their hosts’ 224-9, Warwick Abrahim 42. In Alderley’s reply of 226-2, their top scorer with an unbeaten 70 was Sam Perry, star of the club’s talented Cheshire Under 15s cup-winning team.
