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.

Many thanks to all who attended the recent Annual Dinner Dance & Prize Presentation at Baldwin’s Omega recently and congratulations to the award winners for 2011 below.

The 2011 SCCC Annual Club Dinner Dance is at Baldwin's Omega on Friday 14th October 2011 7.15pm for 7.45pm. Carriages late.

Dinner & Disco is £30.00 per person and good value as it's always a great evening at Baldwin's.

The presentation of cricket awards for the senior teams will follow dinner.

Please come along and enjoy an evening with fellow club members.

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

With 3 games still to play in South Yorkshire division 4, the 3rd XI sit top of pile, needing just 7 points to secure a speedy return to where they should have been playing this season!

With 7 points for a full win, it could be done and sealed this weekend. This will be the final home game at Abbeydale, playing on the top pitch (i'm as disappointed as most), but if anyone is prepared to walk the extra 200 yards up the drive, all support would be welcome to help encourage the team to promotion back to Division 3.

The game starts at 12.30pm, all supporters welcome...more the merrier!

Current batting averages in the Yorkshire and Derbyshire League across all five divisions are topped by Ben with 535 runs at 76.43.

A tremendous effort by Ben Rooke in recent weeks has propelled the 4ths to a possible promotion slot if Bakewell fail to gain maximum points next Saturday. His last four ininngs were 65, 78*, 93* and 95*.
