Season 2011

Thank you for all the enquiries in respect of the Under 9's for the forthcoming season.

I have tried to hire a Sports Hall at a reasonable time for this age group but I have not been able to get one at a time when the majority of the Under 9 coaches were available.

The Under 9 practice sessions will therefore commence on Friday 20th April outside at Abbeydale with registration from 5.30pm onwards.

The first matches are not until 10th June so we have nearly two months to prepare the teams.

I look forward to seeing you all on 20th April ( weather permitting of course!)

Congratulation to Will Street who won the Yorkshire League Junior Bowling award for 2011

At the recent South Yorkshire League Annual Dinner & Presentation Night, 3XI Captain Andy Simpson was presented with the Division 4 title.

The following players also won individual awards.

Andy Simpson - Division 4 Batting Award
Ben Fielding - Division 4 Junior Bowling Award. (He should also have won the senior award but apparently can’t win both...)
Elliot Winter - Division 4 Junior Batting Award
Jonny Udall - Junior Wicket Keeper award for all the Divisions

Congratulations to all the award winners and the team for winning the title!

Congratulations to Collegiate Junior Ben Rooke who at the recent Yorkshire & Derbyshire League 2011 Annual Awards Dinner scooped the Senior AND Junior Batting award for Division 3.

Ben made 535 runs at an average of 76.43 and was also voted the Yorkshire & Derbyshire Young Player of the Season for 2011.

In Division 5, Veteran Andrew Langdale won the bowling award taking 26 wickets at 8.46 a piece.

Andrew also won the League Player of the Month for June 2011 when he took 9 for 1 against Whittington Wanderers 2XI…....just in case you’d not heard!

You never lose it Langers!!

Congratulations to you both.

Millennium club results to October 2011: cheques will be issued end of this month.

Billy Root – 38 balls v Cleethorpes CC 31st July 2011

Best bowling

The 3rds went off to play the last game of the season at ‘home’ in Graves Park needing 7 points to secure the title. We firstly have to thank Norton Woodseats for letting us use the ground and for having 3 people there to help us get everything set up before the start.

Simmo made it in time to toss with the game being closer to work than Rossington the previous week. He duly lost the toss and we were inserted to bat on a deck which didn’t look fantastic. However any misgivings about the deck were soon put to rest as Straws and Alex Varley opened up and looked in no trouble at all.

Straws went off like a train hitting a flurry at boundaries including everyone’s favourite shot of the day a glorious on-drive off the opening bowler.

Contact your team captain, junior team manager or Richard Ibbotson (0114 263 0889 or 07802 279455) with numbers and any special dietary requirements.

I am delighted to report that exceeding all expectations under the excellent management of Roger Justin the Under 11s Reds secured the league title losing just one game on the way.

More importantly every member of the squad improved immeasurably during the season, which is testimony to their hard work and willingness to listen to the coaching received. Well done Boys.
