The Club Family Day and Gordon Hall 6-a-side that was unfortunately cancelled last year due to rain is due to be held on Sunday, August 24.

With the current unavailibility of a significant number of players we are contemplating changes from the 6-a-side format to 20/20 and also possibly the date. We are looking at a junior and senior 20/20 match with players made up from U/13 to U/17 in the junior match and all teams in the seniors. The matches will be played in coloured clothing with a white ball and all the normal 20/20 rules.  read more »

It is with the greatest sadness that I report Michael Vaughan resigned as England captain today. We knew when he joined the club at 13 or so that he was destined for England and I for one have taken enormous pleasure watching him over the years since then. I saw him bat in the millennium test in Cape Town in 2000 and saw his last innings at Edgbaston on Friday. Only 17 but the class in those four 4s is incomparable.

As the saying goes form is temporary and class permanent. Am I alone in thinking that yet again third rate media types have weakened England cricket (ahead of the Ashes) through constant sniping? What is is about this country that tolerates the media's tendency so often to pick apart the country's successes, sporting and otherwise?

Cricket Academy tonight is cancelled due to weather.

Tonights Cricket academy has had to be cancelled due to weather conditions.

Born this morning to John and Becky Parr....a son...Jacob.

Congratulations.

We have now played 3 games in this new league in which we are in the third division or section 2. we lost one by a few runs, we won one easily and we lost one we should have won and are about half way in the division. We have turned out mixed club sides twice and a mix of 4s and 5s once. Here are the remaining fixtures. Please let me know if you want to play in any particular fixture. You may have picked up that there are no teas provided as a norm. We have decided that for home matches we will have a team and offer one to the opposition and for away matches we will find a way of taking provisions

Games start at 2pm and 1.30 in August. 40 overs and a maximum of 10 overs per bowler

May 18th away at Farnsfield
May 25th home to South Normanton
June 1st away at Frecheville  read more »

Junior match fees will increase from the current £5 to £7.50 as of 1 June 2008. This increase is less than the £10 which was passed at the AGM and affects juniors playing in all senior teams.

Anyone queries can be directed to anyone on the committee or your team captain.

Man trapped between tree and wall

A MAN who fell and ended up wedged between a tree and a wall in Sheffield has been freed by firefighters.
The man, aged in his 50s, was walking along Queen Victoria Road, Totley, at around 11.30pm on Wednesday when he fell over a 3ft high wall and down a steep drop on the other side, ending up trapped behind a tree.

He is believed to have been there for almost two hours before a passer-by heard his cries for help and raised the alarm at 1am yesterday.

The man was taken to hospital for a check-up but is not believed to have been seriously hurt.

I have spoken to Riaz and offered to do the on field Captaincy duties when I am playing.
If anyone else fancies it shout now.
I do not have the capacity to do the admin or sorting the side out.

It would be a shame if all the hard work done by Tony Miller and Jason Pitcher to establish the Midweek side in the top division locally were wasted.

Can any other regulars contribute some time to this.

Can all clubs submit a list of their players who are qualified to play in the White Rose Trophy. An email was sent on 28 March 2008, however I have only had responses from

Ashford;
Calver;
Dronfield Woodhouse;
Hundall;
Ridgeway;
Sheffield Centralians;
SWD;
Walkley;
Whittington;
Wingerworth;
Youlgrave Lodge.

Please could all correspondents to the site, ask their secretaries to email me the following as a matter of urgency:-

"Could each club email me a list of ALL players who were under 21 years of age on 1 September 2007, for consideration of selection for the White Rose Trophy.  read more »

Cricket Academy tonight, 25th April, has been cancelled due to the waterlogged fields.

Under 15 nets start again at Abbeydale on Wednesday 23rd April. Please attend even if the weather is wet as we need to sort squads for the first matches.

Outdoor nets for U13 start on Tuesday 22nd April 6pm at Abbeydale. Even if it rains we would like as many as possible to attend as it is very close to the first matches and we would like to organise squads.

The first Academy evening of the season has regrettably been cancelled. Weather permitting we'll start next Friday, 25th April with registration from 17h30.

Weather permitting we are hoping to put the netting up at Abbeydale on Wed at 17h00. The more people able to assist the quicker it will get done.

Look forward to seeing some of you there.

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP!! Can you spare an hour or two on the 4th,5th or 6th of April? Bring family and friends, the more the merrier. We are refurbishing the top pavillion, painting the main changing rooms and doing repairs to equipment ready for the start of the season. You don't have to be an expert at DIY - any level of expertise will do.
Do you work for a company who could donate materials or manpower?
There will be plentiful supplies of Bacon Butties and Tea and Coffee throughout the weekend.Maybe you can bake a cake to keep the workers going!
If you can help in any way, even if its only for an hour it would be greatly appreciated .Please get in touch with JULIE LISTER 2361744 or 07739721446.

As many of you will be aware, after 10 years as either Treasurer or Club Secretary I have resigned my position on the committee due to work and family commitments.

I have enjoyed my time on the committee and will continue to play when I can & will no doubt get involved in the running of the club at some time in the future when time allows, but for now that's it.

This does of course leave a vacancy on the committee which needs to be filled so if anyone is interested or knows someone who might be both interested & capable then please let me or Ibbo know.  read more »

We begin the new challenge of a sunday league on April 20th. The general idea of entering the competition was to provide more cricket, to put out a balanced club side and to provide opportunities for those not playing on a saturday.We would not expect people to want to play every Sunday

So how about this for a general selection policy?

1. 11 a side Cup and other league games take preference

2. The side should try to mix players from all sides

3. Those not selected on a saturday should get a game

4. If a saturday skipper believes a player needs a few overs or time in the middle they should get a game

5. Andy Wylie should bat no lower than 6

6. We should encourage a few budding skippers
