Presidents day

On a rather cold blowy day two teams were formed, President XI and Chairmans XI, with the presidents batting first, with G Norman and Cook opening, and chucker Crump opening the bowling, 2 balls in 1st wicket, G Norman was out for a duck, next came Murray Jnr who confidently held out until the next over, when with Roswell Bull or alien head as he is known to his closest friends, gave cook two 4s before cook could not resist hitting out and was caught by Zaheer, out for 8. Enter John Fowler who steadied the ship, finally going for lbw off Penfold Casey for 9, some good bowling to note was zaheer 0-6 3 overs and Jim Casey 1-3 in 3, senior entered the field, and was promptly dismissed LBW from Hills for 1 run, and was later fined for his complaciency, Callum Newns, the new star of the show at 14yrs old,tonked Hills a couple of times finally going for 4 runs and was caught by riverdance specialist Pete welch who was also fined for bragging, BGP was then caught by chucker bowled M Rich for 10, Pete OD was bowled by riverdance welch for 2,  ( has he ever had a good game senior was heard to ask ? )  Tony Bullimore put on a bit of a lazy show, electing to hit 4s rather than run, and was caught and bowled by the chairman for 23, Murray jnr had left the field by now having clocked up 25 runs, Eddie newns was bowled by Roswell for 7, Murray jnr returned and notched up another 26 not out, whilst murray snr was caught by new boy Mark Welch for 3 runs from Dales bowling, this set a score of 149 req

Hills opened after the burger break , facing Murray snr whos bowling was 1-16 3 overs, Hills and Zaheer lasted just 2 overs when Bullimore struck and Zaheer was caught by Pete OD, chucker Junior came out, faced 2 balls, fell asleep dreaming, and was stumped after just 2 balls, Bullimore was now 2-1, Casey went in to bat,  put on 18 runs before going lbw of Pete OD., Pete "riverdance" Welch faced around 50 balls before hitting out and going for for 2 runs , being caught by the boy Newns with a wonderful sliding catch , Roswell to bat next, he looked as if he had picked up his light sabre rather than the bat, Bullimore had returned at this point to the bowling and promptly took his wicket with Jason going for 24. Bullimore was now 3-2 from 3 overs, Dale entered the frame, and concerned he might hit one of the houses, eventually got out to a fine catch by Murray jnr right on the boundary from Murray snr, Mike Bristow put on a respectful 17 and Lee Mark 10 before the overs ran out with the second innings scoring 139. some notable bowling was Pete OD, who despite 4 runs being byes, allowed 20 runs to be scored in 1 over, John Fowler was 1-6 Murray jnr 0 -12, we all retired to the warm bar for the fines committee and further beer.

11July

The 1st XI were put in to bat , and on a strange old day weather wise, were all out quite cheaply for 123, with some good bowling from the Stewkley no1 bowler, nothing really to report apart from Crump jnr & Ash have a good knock at the end running down the overs, the Stewkley team, with 46 overs, came out to bat, and soon notched up 50 with wides scoring quite a few, the Stewkley no 4 was given out, LBW and despite the tirade of abuse directed at the umpire ( the only umpire ) finally left the field, stewkley reached the total in about 33 overs. one "interesting" moment was when wicket keeper Pleasance who had been talking all through the innings, unfortunately took a pinging ball from Skeaths bowling in the face removing his front tooth and causing some damage to his face, he is now out of hospital and reading the small print in the insurance policy,

22nd June

The sunday game finally got under way after several players either got confused or did not turn up, We had tried to get a local team in to play after Occasional wanderers, struggling to raise a team, pulled out, but the replacement cancelled at 9pm on Friday, We ended up encouraging some of the Social club to come and have a game, new Faces included the Jones family, Clarke senior and Junior, Luke Allsop a certain Mr Glenister snr and the football clubs player of the year Mark Sutton. teams were randomly picked and the game commenced with Drew electing to field, the 1st team in manged to knock up 120 in 26 overs, with several dogs lifes for any of the new comers out 1st ball, notable batting was Tyler Clark who hit a 4 and Dave Jones who hit the ball at least twice, most of the runs were scored by Gary Blaney and Matthew Chapman who was moonlighting from Offley and Stopsley.

after tea that was prepared by Miss Bull and Alison, the field was set , and skippered by Gary Blaney, who mixed up the bowling and with the 1st wicket going to Tyler Clark who bowled the only wicket maiden and the catch was expertly juggled before being controlled by Dave Jones, Matthew Chapman went on to take a few catches, there was some fine bowling from Mark Sutton, Des Clark, with Craig behind the stumps and Lee Mark asleep on the sight screens, before Lee Glenister came on to face Craig Hills who had recovered from his evening/morning session, with Lee retiring injured for several runs, James Cook and Jason Bull were next up, with Cook going on to carry his bat to victory.
