Asked to field on a cold and blustery afternoon it became clear that not only was the pitch easy paced, due to recent rain, but the Cumnor batsmen were very accomplished. Although generally the bowlers did well, virtually every wayward delivery was severely punished. Ben K was unlucky on several occasions and Jamie W and Ian also came away with some credit. On another front well done Ian for captaining the side really well in the absence of the unwell James, I thought you did a top job in difficult...

We lost the toss and were put in to bat. Copthorne scored 211, with no single batsman really making a big score though Zac (8), Charlie (7) and Freddie (6) were our top three run-scorers. Luke and Bradley also contributed nicely with 5 runs each. In reply, Cumnor made 212, beating us by a single run. This was a tense and exciting game, with every single ball gaining in importance as the came reached its climax. Unfortunately we ended up narrowly losing, and regretting every small mistake that...

With the rain clouds clearing we set off down the A264 for an eagerly anticipated fixture against Brambletye. Toby won the toss and put Brambletye into bat on a green wicket. Two maiden overs were bowled by Zach and Andre as they passed the bat on a number of occasions. We once again worked hard in the field and this was highlighted when Zach instigated a run out with a fantastic direct hit. However we failed to take the catches that could have changed the course of the game dropping their...

This weeks scheduled cricket matches where in doubt due to some typical English weather. However, the clouds thankfully cleared by the afternoon allowing the Colts B to host Brambletye on the second Copthorne pitch. Like the two previous weeks we had won the toss and chose to bowl going with the same strategy that had proven successful one week prior. Copthorne started a little sluggish with the ball and Brambletye capitalised scoring quickly to put us on the back foot. The visitors ended up posting...

The first 3rd team fixture of the season was an away Twenty20 match against Brambletye. Due to illness and injury we had to call upon 3 Year 6 boys who more than willingly answered the call to play up an age group. Captain, Joe Gache, won the toss and put the hosts into bat first. They batted throughout the 20 overs but were limited to 88 runs for 3 wickets; 1 caught and bowled by Dan Gooda, a clean bowl from Elliott Young and a “hit stumps” from another Young bowl. With no fewer...
Wednesday the 8th of May saw the 2nd XI square up against Brambletye. We lost the toss and were sent in to bowl first. The innings started well with a few runs here and there, but generally the boys bowled well. After the first wicket taken by Sam Mayhew, their 3rd batsman started making runs quickly, which immediately put us on the back foot. Unfortunately, he went on to make 69. Brambletye ended their innings on 146. After tea we went in to bat and quickly lost a wicket first up. James Workman...

Back to the classic English summer weather for the trip to Brambletye and an early thank you to the loyal spectators who braved the temperatures. Bowling first we did not really cover ourselves with glory with yet another lethargic performance in the field with dropped catches and sloppy ground fielding. The bowling was fairly solid but the figures were not helped by the fielding allowing the opposition to reach 161 for 3 at tea. The batting performance did show a lot more application with the...

We won the toss and put Brambletye in to bat. Brambletye made 182 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. We did not bowl particularly well, and gave away quite a lot of runs as extras, but some of our bowlers really did perform nicely: Bradley took one wicket for 5 runs, and Josh took a wicket for only 4 runs. Luke, Ayaan and Zac all got a wicket each too. Copthorne made 282 runs for the loss of only 1 wicket. Brambletye struggled to find the right line and length, and we batted very nicely. Our top...
