2nd round success at Stowe |
I am please to announce another victory in the Cricketer Cup. Jon Batty scored a very professional 97 and was partnered for much of the time by Tom Poynton who scored 80+. After the early loss of Borrington in the first over and Sindry magnificently caught at Mid-off, Batty and Poynton ran well and found the gaps. 290 is a big total but after Simon French's first nine balls we wondered if it would be enough, but having lulled the experience Nick Oldridge in to a false sense of security he nailed him LBW. At the other end Wall 8 overs for 8 runs and the evergreen Stubbs 2-35 off his 10 (Happy 51st Stubbsy!) kept the runs down. The fielding was excellent which resulted in 2 run outs and Scott Chilman also bowled a tidy spell as did debutant Tom Eldred. Full results here
For the quarter final we travel to Uppingham (see attached) on 12th July. I hope to see many of you there.

Despite last minute cry offs, Chris Paget started his Cricketer Cup captaincy with a fine win against holders Old Malvernians. Repton batted first and started quickly with Sindry and Poynton batting with confidence, but the loss of Poynton for 61 and then Sindry for 54 meant that those thinking of 290+ as a target had to settle for 261. Good tight bowling from the start made life difficult for the holders but they kept going and a few lusty blows towards the end ensured that those on the paddock had their hearts racing. But in the end Malvern were all out for 248 in the 49th over.

Due to some never to be fully understood or explained reason, the Pilgrims got themselves a week ahead of the school. Or did the school get a week behind! Whatever the reason, The Week will start on Monday 6th July and end on Thursday 9th July. Unfortunately The Leicester Gents can't play on 9th July but Ashby Hastings CC has agreed to come fill the gap. Speech Day is on Saturday 4th July. For a full corrected list click here |

The Week - Managers appointed |
|
Mike Stones has run the Week with enthusiasm for many years and all that have played or come to watch have enjoyed the experience. Mike has decided that the time has come to let youth have a chance. After all a cricket club is there to allow players the opportunity to play the game and where better than Repton. During the Week last year the hon secretary talked to active members and as a result match managers have been appointed.
