Grassmore 93, Layer's layabouts 95-3. Good win. For the benefit of some reading this a win is the opposite of what happens on Saturdays and feels a lot better.

We arrived before the opposition and after quite a lot of parking and reparking cars to safe locations away from mid on/mid wicket we started on a soft green top exactly unlike the M5 outside Exeter. Lost the toss and fielded. We would have batted. Grassmore are top of the table so a contest looked on but it never quite happened.  read more »

S.C.C.C 64 All Out
Wakefield Thornes 67-3

On Sunday morning the under 13 looked to carry on their fine cup run with a trip to Hartshead Moor Cricket Club to play Wakefield Thornes.

After losing the toss we were asked to have a bat on a decent looking pitch. However we didnt make good use of it. Alex Thomas was brilliantly stumped after a legside take and Chris Pickford was run out and we slumped to 3-2. James Harrison and Elliot Calis got a bit of control back but wickets fell at a regular occurrence. Some good bowling backed up with good fielding made it hard to score which led to pressure and resulted in some poor shot selection. We managed to scrape to 64 all out. Wakefield made it really hard to score and kept the extras down.  read more »

The 2nds travelled to Barnsley in a quietly confident mood after winning the last game and beating Barnsley earlier in the season. Things didn't get off to the best starts after we left Riaz at Abbeydale, thankfully we were only at the top of twentywell.  read more »

Cricket Academy tonight is cancelled due to weather.

S.C.C.C 95-4
Doncaster Town 94-8 (Gibson 30*)

Sundays cancelled cup Semi-Final was moved to Abbeydale and was played on Tuesday night.

Captain Elliot Winter lost the toss and we were asked to bat on a wet and green wicket.

A steady start from Openers Alex Thomas and Elliot Callis until both men fell playing lazy shots. At the half way point Chirs Pickford (22) and James Harrison (13) carried us to 50 and looked good, playing shots all around the ground, until both were dismissed. Jack Lister (21*) and Levi Atherton (8) got us up to 95 which was probably 20 less than we should have got. In fairness Doncaster bowled very well at the death.  read more »

As the Henley regatta drew to a close yesterday the 4ths matched the rowing venue in a cockless eights show at Parkhead. Arrival at the ground was accompanied by a deluge of monsoon proportion and heeding the Weather warning Webster dragged Shabby into the thunder free environment of the Wheatsheaf. If Carlsberg did cricket it would be this way. As the Parkhead boys removed their plastic 'coverings' a few vessels were dismissed as Webster detailed the antics of the 'boobs with willies brigade' who reside on the 4th floor of The Crazy Horse in Bratislava and would appear to recieve a large proportion of this tax exile's depravity fund. Umpires inspect the pitch and the 'coverings' have left a wet patch that dear old John Holmes would have been proud of.  read more »

On a damp morning at Abbeydale the first ever SCCC Academy XI played Mentone Grammar School, a touring side from Melbourne, Australia.

We won the toss and put Mentone in to bat a decision quickly vindicated after the opening partnership of Chris Pickford and Rob Shaw reduced Mentone to 18 – 2, Rob picking up both of the wickets, the second of which a fantastic catch by Josh Jones at second slip.
Josh then came on to replace Chris and bowled two overs picking up a wicket with an absolute jaffa sending off pole flying. Then Josh who had come in to the game with a back niggle felt a twinge so was taken out of the attack and was replaced by Jack Lister.  read more »

Barnsley 132 AO Wainwright 74
SCCC 135-6 Turgid 32*

Tarn came to bright lights big city and expected to roll us with the multitude of pros at their club.

Beast and Pitch had a chat about seasons gone by on the balcony whilst the other 20 players warmed up.

Won the toss on a wet one. Good opening spell from Greaves and Pistol and some dreadful running saw the end of SW.

Rooty came on and frustrated the tarn and Wilson and Morris went. Pistol decided to drop Wainers twice having already dropped two c&bs.

Nads bowled his worst spell of the season and still picked up three wickets.

Pete dropped another before taking a blinder and 130 was an excellant performance.  read more »

The second team had the daunting trip to Shiregreen on Saturday, with pressure increasing to grow with a big game against our relegation rivals. It was the proverbial 14 pointer – and thankfully we came out on top!

Riaz lost the toss, and we were inserted. I kid you not, we had no idea which wicket we were playing on, as the pitch had not been cut at all (phone call to league before hand by umpires). That said, too much talk beforehand by our batsmen about this, who managed to talk themselves out before even batting. Anyway, Butts went off and got the chip butties in.  read more »

Rotherham pheonix 55 all out[callis 4-11,ramzan 2-9,mines2-10)
Sheff Coll 56-2(lee 34*)

Having dissmissed Pheonix for 27 at Rotherham Collegiate were in confident mood for the return match at Abbeydale.
The Pheonix manager told me that they had a far stronger team out this time ; but they were soon in trouble when Danny Mines had the opener caught behind by chris Norris . Pheonix then took the score on to 28 before Danny clean bowled the no 3 . Chris Pickford bowled a very good spell without any luck, and when the opening bowlers had completed their overs pheonix were 28 for 2.  read more »

Eckington 142 for 2 SCCC 98 ao.

Like our batting performance an all too brief match report!

Riaz looked round and let Simmo captain. Wyles opened with Davey. ID got a bit of tap despite bowling fairly well for an opening batsman but still got some tap. Replaced by Fielding who did similar but at a slightly more economical rate. Will Lacey bowled nicely but their openers put on 100 before their overseas (60) was LBW to a slower bal in Wylie's 2nd. No. 3 departed thanks to a superman runout from Wyles. Other opener batted through for 64. Prash bowled well at the death apart from a couple of wides. The fielding had been amusing in places and a couple of dropped catches coupled with some pretty good batting meant we had a big total to chase.  read more »
