The Hunts Herald Edition 6 Autumn 2011 The Hunts Herald News about the Huntingdonshire County Cricket Club A Very Good Season The Chairman’s Report It gives me great pleasure to report that the 2011 season has been one of our best in recent years. Our overall results are - Played 13, Won 8, Lost 5, but the plain figures do not tell the whole story. Seniors Have Got Talent The Senior side in particular had an excellent season, winning 4 out of 5 games, beating teams from two first class counties on the way. The only senior loss was to a strong Surrey Academy side, losing by 4 runs in the last over. My personal highlight of the Seniors season was Alan Burton’s ton against the Army at Ickwell, especially the second 50 which he scored in 14 balls! U25’s Overturn Neighbours The Under 25’s also had some good results, particularly the last game, where we came back from a losing position to win against our neighbours Cambridgeshire. Admittedly a number of them were somewhat hung over after celebrating their Minor Counties success, but our victory tastes just as sweet. The overall record of the U25’s was won 3, lost 2. U19’s Only Way is Essex The Under 19’s had the only overall losing record, having played 3, won 1, lost 2, but also had one of the most satisfying victories. For the first time since the Under 19 competition started Huntingdonshire beat Essex. A comfortable 5 wicket win at Billericay was a highlight worth having. The Team I would like to thank the HCCC committee for all their work during the season, particularly our Team Manager Hedley Swannell, and our Treasurer/Scorer/Reporter John Walker. Hedley had a very difficult task getting together three different teams for 13 fixtures, and faced some criticism for playing 3 foreign players during the season. I would like to express my full support for the choices. They were all very good players playing locally, our players gained a lot from playing with them, and enjoyed the boost in confidence from the very good season that they helped to generate. A tiny county like ours has to make full use of all the resources available to it! Simon Black Balls from Hunts County Bats Once again we are extremely grateful to Hunts County Bats for providing all our match balls. 1 The Hunts Herald The Senior’s Season In the words of our Ace Reporter, John Walker HUNTS START WITH CREDITABLE VICTORY Huntingdonshire 158 for 8 wkts in 47 overs beat Northants II 157 for 9 wkts in 50 overs by two wickets. Huntingdonshire began their new season with a very creditable victory over a visiting Northants second X1 at St Ives. The Hunts young spinners John Carpenter and Rob Sayer led the way as they reduced the visitors’ innings to a crawl reeling off their twenty overs for just 40 runs as well as claiming five top and middle order wickets. County senior debutant Joe Dawborn also claimed his first wicket with a very tight spell and Hunts were left with a modest target of 158 to win. The visitors included five of their first team squad in a very strong line up and Hunts Manager Hedley Swannell was naturally delighted that his side containing both youth and experience had performed so effectively. Conditions were far from ideal with the strong breeze making it uncomfortably cold but Hunts emerged with great credit and their first victory over Northants since 1999. WILLIAM CENTURY SPARKS HUNTS’ SECOND VICTORY Huntingdonshire 327 all out in 49.2 overs beat Royal Air Force 230 all out in 43 overs by 97 runs. The Huntingdonshire Senior side recorded their highest 50 overs score for more than a decade as they defeated the Royal Air Force by 97 runs at Market Deeping. Their third wicket stand of 197 was just ten runs short of their all time record and was compiled by Chetham William (125 in 103 balls) and David Clarke (72) in just 31 overs. The Hunts bowlers gave little away and reduced their visitors to 104 for 4 and from that point on the target always looked beyond their reach. The explosive batting performance of the Godmanchester all rounder saw him plunder 74 of his runs in boundaries including five massive six hits and he was capably supported by Clarke who anchored the innings for around two hours. With only ten runs on the board Hunts had lost their two openers who last year had on this ground set a record first wicket stand for the county of 304. However this early setback paired up the experienced David Clarke and Chethan William making his first appearance for the County. William was first to his fifty in just 40 balls followed by Clarke who faced an additional 23 balls to reach that milestone. William’s maiden Hunts century took him just 85 balls before he was caught out inches inside the boundary looking for his sixth six. Hunts claimed two early wickets taken by young pace bowler Joe Dawborn but as in their previous match the introduction of the spin attack was to prove significant. Rob Sayer bowled his ten overs unchanged for just 31 runs picking up two wickets whilst Richard Acheson tried his luck at both ends also picking up two important wickets. The visitors did try to accelerate as the overs ticked away and there was some lusty hitting but with all the Hunts bowlers bar one picking up wickets the innings was closed after just 43 overs. Joe Dawborn was the most successful bowler with 3 for 25 from seven overs whilst Rob Sayer, Richard Acheson and Chetham William all picked up two wickets apiece. 2 The Hunts Herald UNLUCKY HUNTS LOSE IN LAST OVER Huntingdonshire 226 all out in 49.1 overs lost to Surrey academy 230 all out in 49.5 overs by 4 runs. Wanting just six runs to win off the last over Hunts saw their last batsman run out on the first ball thanks to a brilliant direct hit on the stumps from the boundary. This left Chetham William 119 not out - his second successive Hunts County century as his side were beaten by just four runs. Hunts had recovered from an indifferent start to their innings to get within touching distance of victory against a very talented Academy side full of potential stars of the future. Of course Hunts also had their stars apart from William for they included two of their emerging U17 side bowlers with Joe Dawborn claiming three wickets and Rob Sayer reeling off his ten overs of accurate off spin for just 26 runs and there were four more victims for wicket keeper Chris Budd. William took three of the next four wickets to fall and Hunts looked to be on top before the last two Surrey wickets added a useful 33 runs. Both Dawborn and William finished with 3 for 37 with the other wickets shared. Alan Burton (5) and David Clarke (13) were out early but Michael Cafferkey (45) and William added 76 for the third wicket but after that wickets fell regularly. When the seventh wicket fell Hunts needed 66 to win from 15 overs and with William going well the target looked very gettable. However Surrey spinner Shaun Cousens took three wickets at a personal cost of 30 runs leaving last man Joe Dawborn to aim for a last wicket partnership of 34 from 6 overs to win the match. He hit a tremendous four and then was only inches short of safety in the final over when the direct hit won the match for Surrey. ARMY BATTED OUT OF SIGHT Huntingdonshire 243 for 3 wkts in 33.2 overs beat The Army 242 for 9 wkts in 50.0 overs by 7 wickets. A magnificent performance by the Hunts batsmen saw them reach a winning target of 243 to beat the visiting Army side with more than sixteen overs to spare at Ickwell. It was the County’s third victory in four matches this season and came courtesy of a thrilling century from Alan Burton with supporting half centuries from Michael Cafferkey and Chethan William. Winning the toss and electing to go in first the Army top order batted very solidly and reached 172 for the loss of just four wickets with David Webb (47) and Jonathan Boynton (34) putting on 67 for the third wicket. Chethan William claimed four wickets as he worked his way through the visitors’ tail order. William finished with 4 for 31 and there were two wickets for Liam La Roux whose tidy ten overs spell yielded 2 for 36. Michael Cafferkey was quickly into his stride in the reply scoring 53 in the opening stand of 88. His fifty at a run a ball set the pace and when he was out Alan Burton (102) took up the challenge after a quiet start. His 50 took 64 balls but then he exploded into action with a second 50 in just 14 balls. He was supported by Chethan William who finished on 57 not out to take his three match tally for the County this season to 301 for once dismissed. The Army attack was run ragged and there were more than sixteen overs to spare when Hunts skipper Paul Swannell struck the final two boundaries to confirm victory. It was Hunts most convincing victory for several seasons against a very experienced visiting side. 3 The Hunts Herald LA ROUX CENTURY LEADS HUNTS TO RECORD BREAKING VICTORY Huntingdonshire 211 for 4 wkts in 46.2 overs beat Middlesex Academy 210 all out in 48.1 overs by 6 wickets.

    APPENDIX 2 Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent On behalf of Action on Energy Cambridgeshire including: Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Date of publication: **TBC** Version: 1.4 URL: [insert webpage SOI has been published on] 1) Introduction 1.1. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income High Costs (LIHC) indicator, which considers a household to be fuel poor if: they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level); and were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.1 1.2. Nationally the 2015 figures for England estimate that 2.5 million households suffer from fuel poverty, 11% the total.2 Living in a cold home doubles the risk of respiratory problems in children; increases the risk of minor illnesses; exacerbates existing conditions such as arthritis and is associated with 3 times the level of excess winter deaths as the warmest homes.3 1.3. Action on Energy Cambridgeshire is a collective of the city and district councils that work together for mutual benefit in addressing fuel poverty. We welcome the introduction of Flexible Eligibility as part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as it will allow us to support additional vulnerable households under broader criteria. 1.4. Fuel Poverty is a serious concern in our county and affects over 19,000 households4 contributing to more than 800 Excess Winter Deaths on average each year.5 Although our collective actions helped reduce fuel poverty across the county by an estimated 1468 households from 2013-2015 however there is still more to be done.

  • Paper on the Origins of the MONKS Surname
    monksname.doc The Derivation in England of the Family Names of MONK and MONKS, (and their phonetic variations). Based on research by Peter MONCK.1 Overview The names evolved from William LE MOIGNE, from St Lo in Normandy who came to England with William the Conquerer. In French the name means “the Monk”. King William gave Le Moigne the manor of Owers in Devon, where he settled. In England the name evolved to MOIGNE, MOINE, MOYNE and MOYGNE (with and without the prefix ‘le’). The Latin version of the Norman name, as used in medieval times in the church, was MONACHUS, from which DE MONACHO, MONIAC, MONKYS and the many phonetic variations of MONK and MONKS derived (for example: MONKE(S); MONCK(S); MUNKE(S); MUNCKE (S); MOUNK(S); MOUNKE(S)). A clear evolutionary trail for these early developments of the name is obtained from records associated with property owned by the families over several centuries, as illustrated below. More recently, from the late 18th century, parish records show variations within the one family group (for example children and grandchildren of William MONKS and Ann née FLOOK, who married at Holy Trinity, Stapleton, Gloucestershire, in 1765, were christened variously as MONKS, MONK, and MOUNKS.) Ralph, a son or grandson of William Le Moigne, was held in sufficient esteem by Henry 1st to be created a Grand Sergeant (a member of the inner court) and Larderer- in-Chief to the Kings of England. For this service he was granted 50 hides of land in five manors: Shipton Moigne in Gloucestershire (21 hides); Maddington in Wiltshire (4 hides); Great Easton in Essex (10 hides); Owermoigne in Dorset (10 hides); and Lambourne in Berkshire (5 hides).

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

  • Interim Report May 2018
    Interim Report May 2018 www.cpier.org.uk Foreword FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REVIEW, DAME KATE BARKER The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER) is pleased to present the interim report, which has been led by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Commission (CPIEC). It is co-funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the Business Board of the Combined Authority, and Cambridge Ahead. This is of course the Commission’s report. The views expressed have been developed as independent – as our funders asked us to do. The Commission is now roughly at the half way stage in the review. We have gathered a great deal of evidence. Much of the evidence we have is data on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. Most of what we have now is from published sources, and we have commissioned a range of new research too. Some of that is available to us now and informs this report. Much of the research is still underway and will be reflected in the final report. At this stage, we have not set out a wholly definitive analysis of where the economy of the area is heading and what should be done about it. This is more our view of where the economy is today and how it got there, an important starting point for the review. While the area the review has responsibility for is defined by its administrative geography, we are primarily concerned with the economics of the area, and we therefore refrain from artificially simplifying, or forcing together, the economic geography.
