First Wash-Out Since 2007 the League on Saturday Suffered Its First Complete Wash-Out Due to Rain - Not a Ball Bowled - Since June 30, 2007 Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 20 – SEPTEMBER 3 WIDNES CHAMPIONS, UPTON UP; URMSTON DOWN; TATTENHALL DOWN; MIDDLEWICH OUT First wash-out since 2007 THE League on Saturday suffered its first complete wash-out due to rain - not a ball bowled - since June 30, 2007. At this late stage of the season due to many logistical complications, there are no plans to re-arrange the programme. It’s been a wet summer, the previous dampest Saturday being on April 30 when 10 games were cancelled or abandoned. Last season, May 2 saw 16 games washed-out. On August 9, 2008 16 games were cancelled and two played, but on June 30, the previous year, all 18 games were cancelled without a ball bowled. With seven points allotted all round and 50 still available from the last two fixtures on September 10 and 17, the main ECB Premier League upshot is that Urmston are relegated back to the First Division whence they came so spectacularly on the last day of the 2015 campaign. Macclesfield remain marginal favourites to go down with them, but the clubs immediately above - Nantwich, Neston and Timperley - are all in danger and Macc are due to host Nantwich on the last day. At the top of the table, Alderley Edge’s difficult game at Chester Boghton Hall was off which means that, with a lead of 23 points over Bowdon, they still have some way to go before claiming their first Premiership title since 2008. Especially as their last two fixtures are tough ones: home to Hyde and away to closest challengers Bowdon. Hyde’s inability to get on the field at home to Nantwich means they have virtually no chance of completing a hat- trick of titles. Division One favourites IN Division One, pacemakers Didsbury and Grappenhall improved their chances of joint promotion through not playing. Grappers lead Oulton Park – who suffered their first cancelled game at home to Bollington - by 32 points with Didsbury three points better off. With only one win in 20 attempts, wooden spoonists Taqttenhall cannot now escape relegation, being 62 points adrift of Warrington, in 10th. Cheadle Hulme remain with a slight chance of escaping at the expense of Warrington. Widnes - and Upton - cannot be caught PLAUDITS to Widnes on clinching the Division Two title. Their game at Barrow was cancelled, leaving them 52 points clear of Upton with two to play. Upton, however, are now certain of the second promotion place. At the foot of the League table, Middlewich lose their League place for the first time since 2000. After a torrid season following the loss of key players, they have won only one game and trail 11th placed Congleton by 55 points. It’s between Congleton and Mobberley for the second relegation spot. CHESHIRE CUP FINAL OFF FOR WEEK SUNDAY’S Cheshire Cup final between Hyde and Elworth at Werneth Low was postponed due to the pitch and outfield not recovering from heavy rain the previous day. Rather than opt for a later start and reduced overs, the organisers and clubs agreed to re-assign the match for next Sunday, September 11 starting at 12 noon For the record: North Staffs and South Cheshire League club Elworth have won the trophy only once, in 1984, while Hyde were county champions in 2008 and 2011.

  • Can Hyde Retain Title?
    Cheshire County Cricket League 2015 NEWSLETTER: WEEK 17 – AUGUST 8 / 9 Can Hyde retain title?

    Cheshire County Cricket League 2017 SEASON: NEWSLETTER NO. 17 – AUGUST 12 Shock defeats for Top Two CHESTER Boughton Hall must have feared their ECB Premier League lead was about to be extinguished when they were dismissed for 90, their lowest total of the season, at Timperley. However, not far away, Alderley Edge’s shaky form continued when they lost by 20 runs at home to wooden spoonists Bowdon, leaving the gap at the top a fascinating 14 points with five games remaining. Timperley’s return to action at Stockport Road for the first time in 12 months was played on a bowler’s paradise, Chris Page taking 5-19 and Tyrone Lawrence 4-34 to dismiss CBH for 90 from 42 overs, Jack Williams top-scoring with 23 runs at nine. Chester’s bowlers put up a real fight after tea before Timperley scraped through at 91-7 thanks to key knocks of 23 from Nathan Brown and 22 by Grant Hodnett, while Warrren Goodwin took 3-21. Meanwhile, at Alderley Edge, Bowdon could hardly have fancied their chances at tea after being dismissed for 147, Pat Ashling 28, Aussie paceman Hamish Winter-Irving having carved them up with a fine 6-28. But the home batsmen were even more at sea, Calum Rowe, 31 and Sam Perry, 27 being top scorers against keen bowling – notably Alec Makin 3-37 - and they were all out for 127. The upshot is that Chester remain 14 points clear at the top as they prepare to take on Alderley in a ’50 pointer’ next Saturday.

  • Only Nantwich and Neston Take Full Premier Points on Another Wet
    ! Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 13 - JULY 16 ! Only Nantwich and Neston take full Premier points on another wet day WITH rain steadfastly refusing to relent, the League suffered again on Saturday with four matches in the ECB Premier League lost, plus two in the Second Division, while almost every game suffered reduced overs after hard work by players and helpers to shift covers and sheets The Premiership upshot is that with the top six teams failing to make it to the middle, Nantwich and Neston took the chance to chalk up important victories towards safeguarding their premiership futures. Neston moved off bottom spot with a six wickets win over Timperley at Parkgate – their first since the season’s opening day. In a 78-overs game, Timperley reached 212-4 from 39 overs, Kiwi star Dan Cooper 97, Asif Iqbal 72. Neston topped that with 214-4 in 34 overs, David Hurst 90 not out and Simon Stokes, 76 enjoying a second wicket stand worth 152. Nantwich are profiting from the return after injury of paceman Jimmy Warrington, who took 3-23 to help dismiss Urmston for 155 at the UCG, Callum Parkinson 83. Earlier the Dabbers had declared on 256-6 from 43 overs, Ryan Brown, 100 and skipper Ray Doyle, 88 adding 164 for the third wicket. Off were Bowdon v Chester; Hyde v Cheadle and Macclesfield v Bramhall, while Alderley’s innings at Toft lasted eight overs. This leaves the top places unchanged with Alderley Edge eying the home strait 44 points ahead of Bowdon.

  • Goodwin 114 & Hat-Trick For
    ! Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 16 – AUGUST 6 - 7 Goodwin 114 & hat-trick for CBH WHILE Alderley Edge got back on an even keel after their hiccup the previous week, the chasing pack of Bowdon, Hyde and Chester Boughton Hall all won to keep up the ECB Premier League pressure, it was CBH who made Saturday’s headlines. After piling up 303-6 in a high-scoring draw at Toft the previous week, CBH this time declared after 42 overs at 324-4 before bowling out wooden spoonists Urmston for 87. In the Chester innings, Rick Moore (156) and Warren Goodwin (114) put on 216 for the first wicket, both recording their fourth centuries of the season and now total 885 and 704 League runs respectively.

  • Relegation – It's Going to Be Tight
    ! Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 14 - JULY 23 ! Relegation – it’s going to be tight THE scrap to avoid relegation from the ECB Premier League looks like going to the wire, Saturday’s rain-free programme - which produced all 18 definite results - creates a tight situation at the bottom with only three points separating eighth-placed Bramhall from Macclesfield, in 11th. Only Urmston, now 33 points adrift at the foot, look in real trouble. They were thrashed by 184 runs on the ground of leaders Alderley Edge, who maintained a 44 points advantage after rattling up 277-9, Khalid Sawas 64, Adam Worrall 60. Lancashire’s leg-spinning discovery Matthew Parkinson took 4-88 including the wicket of his Red Rose colleague Jordan Clark for 51. In reply, Urmston mustered just 93, Clark 5-41. Down Below, Neston recorded their second successive victory, by 32 runs at Nantwich, where they were second best until late in the game.
