A Busy Day

There's all sorts going on in today's scorecards so rather than missing any highlights out, I've gone for slightly shorter summaries instead. As Nick Tye might say....apologies for the length.

4 June 2006 

We start with the Sunday 1sts at home to Spital, CACC winning the toss and choosing to field first. Spital never really got going and wickets fell regularly as they were bowled out for 160. "Power Dwarf" Al Hughes the pick of the bowlers picking up 5/15 from 9 overs, and he doesn't even bowl anymore after getting yips in an indoor game! In an effort to give us a decent score to chase, Rich turned to brother Si who delivered with 0/33 from 3.4 overs.

CACC made light work of the run chase with Milly opening up and finishing with 89, looks as though he may have been denied the chance of a ton by Alfie who came in and finished 21* to finish a fine all-round performance.

At the same time the Sunday 2nds were away at Clipstone and batting first. Moxon opened the batting for some reason, perhaps signalling a light batting line-up as CACC struggled to 116/7 from 40 overs, Craig Forster top scoring with 26.

Rumour has it that Andy Wood has sold his soul to devil in return for immortal wicket-taking abilities and it certainly came true on this day. At one stage Clipstone were reduced to 19/8 until their number 9 came in and scored 31. They ended up 62 all out with Woody finishing with 7/20 from 10 overs.

10 June 2007 

A tough day batting first for the Sunday 1sts at home to Mansfield Hosiery Mills. A string of single figure scores saw CACC reduced to 53/7, before the skipper Rich tried to boost the total but was ran out with 21 to his name. A last wicket stand between "The Bear" Andy Hill and Jack took us to a not-even-respectable score of 113/9 from 40 overs. Unsurprisingly this was not enough and MHM knocked them off just 2 wickets down, Coops putting in a decent spell to pick up both wickets.

8 June 2008 

Just including this Sunday 1sts game  at home to Sherwood to highlight Milly throwing away another chance at a century, as he was dismissed 95 during CACC's first innings of 217/4. In the second innings 8 bowlers were tried but we were unable to bowl Sherwood out for full points, as they finished 178/6.

5 June 2011 

A great effort from CACC on this day to put out 3 teams, with the Saturday 1st team having a cup game, unfortunately though, the results were not so positive.

The cup match was away at Norton Oakes and on this occasion Alfie was against us, and carried his bat for 105* as Oakes reached a challenging score of 261/6 from their 45 overs. CACC put in a spirited run chase but ended 29 runs short of victory with most batsmen getting in and making starts, but couldn't match Alfie's match-winning knock.

Meanwhile the Sunday 1st's were away at Shirebrook's "Model Village" and things were looking positive for CACC who having lost the toss, managed to bowl Shirebrook out for just 104. Woody again doing some early damage and Ed Butterfield's 3/24 the stand out figures. We didn't put in such a good show with the bat though, and Cookie was left stranded not out as we were bowled out for just 72.

With 3 teams out on Sunday, the Sunday 2nd team were always likely to struggle at Stonelow against the West Indian Cavaliers, and fate was against them as they lost the toss and were asked to field first. WIC racked up 319/7 from their 40 overs, Barry Eke picking up 5 wickets, 4 of which were stumpings from Nick Tye so it's safe to say that the West Indians were treating Barry with a very cavalier attitude indeed. Some interesting bowling figures in there but Liam Smith's 2 overs 0/38 a real stand-out for me.

To their credit, CACC did not throw their wickets away in the second innings, finishing 185/3 in 40 overs with half centuries for Nick and Liam, who just about managed to make it back into credit for the match!

10 June 2012 

Another first team cup game this time away at Darfield. The home side batted first and after a good start were reduced to 136/6 with a shaky middle order performance, but then recovered again to finish on 208. Liam leading the way with figures of 4/28. CACC made a good effort of the run chase and at 178/5 were looking good for the win, Loz making 110. Unfortunately the last 5 wickets then fell for 25 runs and we finished 6 runs short of victory, Jase left 18* with a couple of run outs highlighting the nerves on route to the finish line.

Meanwhile the Sunday 2nds played Nomads and batting first we raced to an intimidating first innings total of 118/5 from 40 overs, Grant batting for the majority and ending 40 not out. With Woody in the side though this was plenty as his remarkable opening spell of 10 overs 5/6 helped bowl Nomads out for just 88.
