Weekend Round Up!
The 1st XI hosted Appleby Frodingham CC at Abbeydale looking to get back on track in the title race. After the over night rain, the game was delayed and shortened to 34 overs. Winning the toss we chose to bowl first looking to take advantage of the soft nature of the pitch. Opening bowlers Luke Shutt and Henry Eldred proved very hard to handle reducing App Frod to 20-3 in 13 overs! A superb opening spell by the pair (Luke 9-2-15-1, Henry 9-1-12-2) made sure the score was never going to be a big one. Josh Varley and Billy Root followed up the good start with good spells themselves, collecting 2 and 3 wickets respectively. App Frod 101-8 from their 34 overs.
In reply Tom Rowley got us off to a flier scoring 41 from 36 balls, including 5x4s and 2x6s. When Tom fell we were on 55-1 from 10 overs, quite the contrast to the first innings start! Despite a few more wickets falling, a calm 23 from 45 balls by Billy Root saw us home to complete a 6 wicket win in 24 overs. A very good display by the team and good to get back to winning ways!

The 2nd XI visited Conisbrough CC with some returning faces back in the team. Choosing to bat first on a competitive wicket, our batters set about trying to find a total that would give us a chance. With the small boundaries inviting but the pitch making it tricky the middle order all chipped in. Christ Stewart 36, Tom Hancock 20, Matt Lee an enterprising 28 from 15 balls cut short by a ball that kept low, skipper Andy Simpson 24 and Jonny Udall 27 meant that had a total on the board to defend. Annoying not to use our overs up as we were bowled out for 188 in 44.2 overs, but a score nonetheless.
With the ball the returning Rob Shaw and Matt Tyas, made our batting effort look all the more impressive, by ripping through Conisbroughs top order using the pitch conditions beautifully resulting in 6-3, 18-5 and then 27-6. After the early success the slower bowling of Oli Pearson and Alex Varley had the job of finishing the job. A couple of small partnerships pushed the score past 50 before they were bowled out for 82 in 26.2 overs. A very good win and all round effort by the team!

The 3rd XI travelled to Handsworth Junior Sporting Club CC, trying to get back on the winning track after a few poor results. Choosing to bowl first, Oliver Tyas took the first wicket with the score still on 0, and then with the help of Jim Lomas reduced Handsworth to 37-4. After a couple of good partnerships helped their score past 100, it was the leg spin of Michael Flathers that changed the game. Michael bowled 10.2-2-31-5 taking the score from 101-6 to 113 all out. A word for the opening pair (Oli 7-3-16-2 and Jim 9-4-10-2) getting us off to a great start.
In reply the openers Lexi Moore and Jake Foster calmed any nerves with scores of 25 and 22 respectively taking us to 31-1 and then 87-2. Despite the loss of 3 cheap wickets, the evergreen Nick Gaywood scored 62 not out to see us home in 37.4 overs for a 5 wicket win. A great response to the last few weeks results from Andy Tyas' team!

Tony Miller's 4th XI hosted Coal Aston CCs 3rd XI on the top pitch. Choosing to bowl first, the theme of the day continued with our opening bowling pair putting in a great display of seam bowling! Jonny Walmsley and Harry Thomas built huge pressure bowling 12-3-26-2 and 9-4-12-1. Coal Aston fell to 23-4 before the wicket machine known as Satyam Verma took over the game yet again. Sat bowled 12-6-21-5 taking apart the middle order leaving them 62-9 before a very good last wicket partnership of 35 took their score to 97-9 from 46 overs.
In reply it was a case of the top order all chipping away at the low score. Adrian Meadows 14, Jonny Walmsley 23, Ton Miller 15* and the legend Geoff Layer 19, meant we reached our target 5 wickets down in 28.2 overs. Another fantastic team win by Tonys side and yet another 5 wicket haul for Satyam!

Our 5th XI took part in the other half of the Coal Aston CC double header, facing their 4th XI on Saturday. Bowling first it was a story of our bowlers having too much for Coal Astons batters. Some remarkable bowling figures meant we bowled them out for 64 in 39.3 overs. Rafi Ahmad 7-2-15-0, James Speck 7-1-7-0, Tom Connolly 8-2-4-4!, Hamzah Shah 12-2-25-5!, Arman Zaheri 5-1-8-0 and Sam Connolly ending the innings with 0.3-0-0-1. A comprehensive bowling performance if ever we've seen one.
With the bat Tom Connolly (14) and Arun Rupra (17) opened and got us well on the way. After they fell Arman and Pat Edwards saw us home in the 25th over for a very comfortable 8 wicket win. Another fantastic win for Mick Rowntree's team of youngsters!
