Early start today, and kept it fairly short and sweet I think, difficult to judge. Can anybody tell me who the mystery batsman is in the first match?
2 June 2002
We start with this game way back in 2002 which appears to have been played before Play Cricket had secured the rights to some Coal Aston players' names. Mansfield batted first and despite their captain carrying his bat for 79*, none of the others could make double figures as they were bowled out for 111. Worth noting that Ivan Dawson shared a 70-run 4th wicket partnership with his skipper, of which Ivan contributed just 1 run.
The opening bowlers did the bulk of the damage with L.Henstalk (Lewis Hemstalk) taking 5/21, and M.Pearce (Nick Peace) taking 3/12. Unfortunately no wickets for A.Draker (Andrew Draper).
In response it is great to see Sir Gerry Bradwell at the top of the order and getting us off to a good start, and considering that Ju Bradwell is down to bat at number 10, I have no idea who J. Bradlock is but he finished 23* as CACC knocked off the runs 5 wickets down. I suspect that some of the details in this scorecard may be inaccurate.

I had to include this game involving the Sunday 2nds just for the bowling figures. Killamarsh won the toss and batted first, and despite The Immortal Andy Wood keeping it tight, runs were flowing freely at the other end as they got off to a positive start. Captain Beejal made the decision to turn to spin which proved effective as Jack Jones and James Knowles both returned figures of 4/4, and Killamarsh were bowled out for 103.
Not a totally convincing looking run chase from CACC but Cookie finished on 27* to lead us home, evidently running a couple of people out along the way!

I think it is safe to say that the groundsman had produced a flat track at "The Bear Pit" where the Sunday 2nds traveled to play Cuckney. A bad day to lose the toss as Cuckney batted first and amassed 325/0 from their 40 overs. Their number two playing a supporting role with 83* as their other opener finished with 223*. 7 bowlers were used to try and take a wicket, with Kevon being the only one to go for less than a run a ball.
In reply, and although not threatening Cuckney's total, CACC gave a spirited response as El carried his bat for 127*, mainly supported by Grant with 43*, unfortunately the fall of wickets is not on so I don't know what the partnership was, but CACC finished 218/2, just 2 wickets falling in the entire match. Not sure I can remember playing in any matches where only 1 out of the 4 opening batsman have been dismissed!

The return of Ashover to Stonelow and wickets were falling regularly as CACC batted first. Dave got off to a quick-fire start but the score was 98/4 when he was dismissed for 74, and it was in the balance as 137/6 became 158/8. However, a late flourish from Liam saw us reach a final score of 241, Liam finishing with 107* from 80 balls, including 10 fours and 8 sixes.
We obviously didn't bowl them out as they had Sacko batting to save the points, 8 bowlers were used in total but Ashover held on for the losing draw.

A quick one to end on this week and a low scorer away at "The Breach" against Eastwood. After Loz and I managed 30 each there was not much else as CACC were bowled out for just 114. This turned out to be more than enough though, as we bowled Eastwood out for 90 in reply to take the win. Jack Haslam the pick of the bowlers with those figures again, 4/4!

That'll do for this week, I am going to enjoy the sun as talk of recreational cricket being able to start again soon means that the rain can't be far away!
