Tonights U13 training has been cancelled due to low numbers attending recently. The last outdoor session before the end of season will be next week 8th Sept. ALL U13's are requested to attend for the final session to discuss next season and Winter nets etc. If you are unable to attend please contact Tom Lister on 07590499771 before Wednesday.

We are looking to put together a sub-committee working on behalf of all the club to deal solely with fund raising & social events. This stream of income is crucial to the club’s future development and it is felt shared responsibility and workload within a sub-committee will help generate such income.
We need people with ideas and enthusiasm to work together to help move the club forward.
If you feel you can help in any way then please contact either Tim Pickford or Julie Lister as below for further details.

The cricket academy is staffed by any number of qualified coaches all committed to teaching cricket properly. It is proving a massive success with boys and girls, and their parents.

Sheffield Collegiate CC - 5th XI vs Stocksbridge CC, Yorks - 3rd XI
As nobody from the 5ths has posted a report thought I would have a go. For probably the first time this season Ben won the toss. Having decided to bowl both Josh Varley and Laurie Brennan had to cope with difficult conditions. It was Josh who got the first wicket getting the opener going back to one LBW for 9.
With Stocksbridge only bringing 9 (other 2 probably thought no play to day) in effect that was 3 down. Lacey senior next to join the party taking a catch in the covers getting Laurie his wicket.

Sunday Massive 237-5 (A. Simpson 106, J. Rooke 47, B. Fielding 29), Kirkby Portland 60 (M. Winter 3-9, J.Varley 2-11, W. Lacey 3-8, G. Layer 1-0, I kid you not) Maximum points. http://manssunlge.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=10962847 ...
The Sunday Massive stated rather slowly on a damp pitch and reached the half-way stage at two-and-a-bit before Ben missed a double bouncer from a bowler slower than Sealy. Other differences between Sealy and the young spinner include girth, years, height, and spinnage.

Three wins out of four fixtures looks like the minimum needed to avoid relegation so this win at Stocksbridge was more than welcome.
After a long and reasoned debate we agreed to start at 3 playing 31 overs and by then the pitch was just about fit. We were put in and the 2 Bens, Rooke and Fielding, got us off to a wonderful start. Soon ticking over at fives they put the over confident opposition on the back foot. They reached the mid 70s before better bowling pegged them back a little and the rate dropped. Ben F completed his 50 before Rooke holed out for a well constructed 30. Attempting to up the rate Webbo, Dad and Lad Varley and Ben F all departed quickly. Only Angry managed to reach 20 well supported for a while by Connor Shelley. We finished on 132 for 8, well pleased.
Paramore cup final on the reserve date of September 12th.
The final will be played at Killamarsh Cricket Club and will commence at 1.00pm.and will be 40 overs per team with limited overs per bowler (see rule 17.2 in the Handbook.
Due to wet weather tonights academy has been cancelled.
