The 1st tough game of the season saw an unbeaten 2nd team sitting 3rd in the league taking on an unbeaten Elsecar team sitting top of the pile having gained more bonus points so far. A rained delayed start meant the game was reduced to 36 over’s per side, toss won, out to bowl (everyone says bat on a hot, sunny day, so cold, wet and windy bowl??)

Opening game of the midweek season started with an away fixture at TOA with a short drive to Coal Aston bottom pitch. An indifferent day of weather saw a damp outfield but hard wicket. Due to poor light and poor weather forecast the standard 12 over’s (8 balls per over) was agreed.

On behalf of all Sheffield Collegiate CC members I would like to offer our deepest sympathy to Martin & Sharon Sayles on the tragic death of their Son Dominic.
Dominic was a lifelong player at Norton Oaks CC and well known to our younger members. Martin has always been a popular visitor at Abbeydale Park and all our thoughts go out to him and his family at this very sad and difficult time.

1st round of the cup gave the 2nd XI a Sunday game away at Bawtry Road against a Sheffield United 2nd XI. A few changes from Saturday saw Danny Walton & Jonny Udall back from weddings (or the same wedding?? Now both married??), with Tom Newman making his 2013 debut for the club. Another sunny but windy day with another batter friendly track made for a tricky decision at the toss – decision made a lot easier by losing the toss and being asked to bat.

The u13 Red squad is made up entirely of y7s so is in effect an u12 team playing in the u13 league. 9 of the 12 were in last years u11 Blue side that lost to Doncaster in the district final.That defeat was on the last ball.
This year has seen them going from 8 a side pairs cricket to standard 11 a side cricket. Despite this change they have made an impressive start. Both Hollinsend and Norton Woodseats have been easily dispatched on their own grounds.
The season strated for 7 of the squad as they played for our combined cup side in a win at Aston Hall. The next day was the trip to Hollinsend match.
Collegiate batted first scoring 96 with double figure scores from Oliver Tyas, Hayden Pitcher, Connor Page and Max Robinson.Hollinsend never looked like overhauling that total. The Reds used 10 bowlers, only keeper Tom Higginbottom was not used. All 10 bowled tightly but Oliver Tyas shone brightest returning 3 for 2.
The following week found the team in a sundrenched graves park facing Norton Woodseats. Woodseats entered the match top of the league having already beaten Hollinsend and Hallam.

The 5th team, playing under the catchy title of Sheffield Collegiate Yorkshire and Derbyshire League 2nd XI, have had a mixed start to the season.
First there was an away win on a difficult pitch at Woodhouse. Taking advantage of the variable pounce, Collegiate inserted Woodhouse and then bowled them out for 87. The wickets were shared around a very young bowling attack. Alex 'Bruce' Willis was the pick of the bowlers returning 2 for 3 off 6 overs. Alex Bishop also picked up a couple with Wellman, Russell, Stevens and Liver (bowling off spin!!) all took a wicket.
Collegiate then made hard work of the reply with only Adursh and Harry Liver getting above double figures as the team collapsed to 75-9. The two Toms, Hoyland and Wellman, then steadied the ship and brought Collegiate home.
The following week brought a strong Apperknowle 2s to the HSBC ground. Only skipper Martin Slater and Alex Bishop remained from the game against Woodhouse. Many of the juniors been needed higher up.
Collegiate won the toss and opted to bat. Apperknowle bowled some tight lines and only Matt Belton (39) showed any resistance. With the score on 92-9 Dave Jones joined Slater in the middle. The pair put on 37 runs including a straight 6 from Jones and an upper cut over the slips for 4 from Slater.
