Looks like we're back to some nice weather for the weekend today, would have been a tricky day for captains winning the toss I think, what to do first on a drying wicket?
19 June 2004
Starting way back in 2004 when the 1sts won the toss at Stonelow and elected to bat first against Rockingham. There was a handful of contributions throughout the order as CACC struggled to 150 all out, Locky top scoring with 39. Not a great score but it turned out to be enough on this occasion, as Rockingham were bowled out for 121 in reply. Johnno clearly fired up by being made to bowl first change ended with figures of 6/25, and getting the winning run out. A couple of catches and a stumping for the Dronfield Town FC manager Chris Millington to dismiss the top 3.

An absolute thriller at Woodseats for the 3rd team against Sheffield Zingari. CACC won the toss and elected to bat, and after a couple of early wickets there were good contributions all the way down as we reached an impressive first innings total of 241/5. Paul Robinson (I don't know which one) top scoring with 64, and Beejal not far behind with 61*.
Unfortunately CACC seemed to suffer from a lack of bowling options other than Woody and Knowlsey who took 3 wickets each. Zingari's number 4 stood strong and finished 82* as they knocked off the winning runs off the last ball of the match, and 9 wickets down with their number 11 managing to finish 5* to get the win. If anyone has any memories of the final moments of the match I would be keen to hear them!

Couple of games here starting with the 1sts at home to Whitley Hall. Asked to bat first Locky led the way with 58 as CACC scraped to 176/9 from their 46 overs, some important contributions at the end from Coley, Jase and Jimbo to help boost the total. In reply Johnno opened the bowling this time and took 5/36 as part of CACC's formidable attack at that time, which also included Nick and Jimbo, with Coley as the spin option. Whitley could only manage 113 in reply.

Meanwhile the 2nds were away at Frechville in another close run match. Batting first CACC made it to 198/6 with contributions all the way down but 55 from Phil "The Bastard" Cookson being the stand out. In reply Frechville were always in with a shout and were 136/1 at one point. A flurry of middle order wickets and a couple of crucial run outs meant that despite going down to the last over, Frechville eventually fell 5 runs short of victory, I managed to pick up 4/48.

Now Parkhead is a small ground, but you don't see many T20 scores like this one. A bit of a mismatch in the T20 cup for the thirds who faced Div 1 Parkhead. Just take this in for a moment.....CACC won the toss and elected to field first.......Parkhead reached 271/3 in their 20 overs and obviously there are some stunning bowling figures in there but for me, Simmo's spell of 1 over 0/29 is comedy gold.
In reply an opening partnership of 73 between Ryan and Finn "Boom Boom" Macnamara restored a bit of pride, but there was not much else to follow. Grant went into automatic pilot to finish 1* to ensure that CACC weren't bowled out and could take the losing draw points, but as this was a cup game there were none available and we were just knocked out.

The first team away at Kexborough and always a stand out scorecard for me because of two great individual performances. Kexborough stuck us in and although Rich got cleaned up first ball, they ended up regretting it as we ended up with 293/7. The main contribution by far was from Nick who finished with 148* including 19 fours and 3 sixes. In reply Kexborough got off to a decent start and were up to 147/2 at one point, before a spell of 8/17 from 7.2 overs by Gramps put a quick end to that chase!

A big first innings batting performance for the 1sts at home to Barnsley. CACC won the toss and after a couple of early wickets a partnership of 119 between Locky and Parky set the platform for a total score of 318/8 from our 50 overs. Chris top scored with 71 but there was also some impressive late hitting from Dan with 46 from 34 balls, and Huss with 41 off just 19 balls, the pair of them finding some useful form in time for the T20 finals day the next day.
Barnsley put in a good effort in the second innings, but CACC's total was too much and they eventually feel short on 264/7, with the wickets shared around. A good 5-point win for the 1sts and some confidence to take into the big day tomorrow.

And we will be back tomorrow with some more historic Sunday results as well as a look at how the finals day panned out.
