There were some great games to look back on from this weekend, I've even had to leave a few good ones out just so it didn't go on too long. Those that didn't quite make it were a 1 wicket win for the 1sts away at Darfield with Dan and Johnno just about seeing us home, the 2nds defending a low score at Conisbrough with young leggy Junaid opening the bowling and doing the damage for us, and finally Vanders 83 from just 37 balls from last season.
A lot to choose from, and here are the matches that made the cut:
4th July 1999
This game from way back is down as being played on a Sunday but as a 3rd team fixture I'm including it today. The first innings went very well for CACC as they bowled Grindleford out for 117, Steve Rhodes the pick of the bowlers with 5/28. Unfortunately this was back in the dark days of no bowling restrictions, and on their way to bowling 23 overs each, Grindleford's two bowlers took 5 wickets a-piece as we were bowled out for just 81 in reply.

3rd July 2004
A big win (actually a winning draw) for the 2nds away at Baslow, and a fine all-round performance from Ritchie Marples whose name has been spelled incorrectly on scorecards and honours board for all time. Batting first Ritchie made 108 in a total of 204/4 from from 46 overs. He then also took 5 wickets trying to complete the job but Baslow managed to hold on for a losing draw, batting their overs out just 68/9.

2nd July 2005
A great run chase for the 1sts who were faced with a difficult first innings score of 239/7 having asked Whitley Hall to bat first. The fall of wickets isn't available unfortunately but 25* from Whitley's number 10 will have been frustrating at the end of the innings. But an opening partnership of 218 between Locky and Rich led the way to CACC winning just 2 wickets down and 3 overs to spare. Locky finished on 114 and Rich carried his bat 104* to see us through to victory.

7th July 2007
With all other games cancelled it must have been a rainy day at Mexborough for the 1sts. Luckily we won the toss and bowled them out for 93, Nick with figures of 5/12. Si got us into trouble early in the second innings though by running Locky out and it was a nervy looking chase until we were saved by Johnno and Jimbo down the order, who saw us home in the 39th over with just 2 wickets to spare, Freddie will have been sat nervously waiting to go in!

4th July 2009
A few people have mentioned a 35 all out to me this year but everyone has kept this first team score quiet. Winning the toss against Warmsworth things were going well as Johnno took 6/24. Maybe Cookie thought that the job was done and gave a few others a bowl as Warmsworth's numbers 9 and 11 both made it into the 20s to boost the score up to 100 and get some momentum going. The reply was a disaster and looks like a premium rate telephone number as CACC were then bowled out for just 30.

Meanwhile at Carr Lane an interesting story unfolded for the 3rds. After sticking Sheffield Medics in Rexy took 5/29 as we restricted them to 182/9 from their 46 overs. A good partnership between Sweety and Jamie Drake broke the back of the run chase and Paul was leading the way to victory before being adjudged LBW on 99. Now some of you will realise at this stage that the 3rd team do not get allocated any league umpires, so what adds to this tragic story for Paul, is that it was his opening batting partner Barry who gave him out LBW! CACC went on to knock the runs off 3 wickets down.

6th July 2013
An epic battle for the 1sts away at Whitley Hall. Whitley batted first and amassed a big first innings score of 297/9 from their 50 overs, including a couple of frustrating last wicket partnerships as James Brown, who must have Got a Brand New Bat, made 42* at number 9. Unfortunately I wasn't there to witness it but I'm told that the run chase was a great watch. An opening partnership of 141 between Dave and Locky, followed by a 111-run partnership between Dave and Liam really put CACC in with a chance. Dave eventually fell for 139 including 14 fours and 8 sixes. The game went right down to the last ball where unfortunately, Dan was unable to dig out a perfect yorker from Whitley's Jaco, and was ran out with 2 runs needed for victory - a top effort.

That's all for today, enjoy your beers if you are heading out, will possibly wrap these up now that it looks like things are returning to something like normal, but will definitely look back at some Sunday games tomorrow.
