Match Report ‼️

Finningley CC’s Sunday 1st XI produced an excellent all-round performance to secure a convincing 136-run victory away to Wadworth CC.

The innings was built around a superb unbeaten century from Shaun Fell, who produced a fantastic 100 not out from 89 balls. His innings included 17 fours and two sixes as he controlled the innings brilliantly and ensured Finningley finished with a formidable total.
At the other end, Dan Fell continued the momentum with an excellent 74 from 62 balls, smashing eight fours and three sixes. The pair put together a dominant batting display, keeping the scoreboard moving at an impressive rate.
Joe Booth added further fireworks with a rapid 33 from just 25 balls, including a four and two sixes, while Harry-James Bayliss chipped in with 15 from 12.

Finningley finished their 35 overs on an imposing 276/7, giving the bowlers a substantial total to defend.

The Finningley bowling attack then produced exactly what was required.
Caiden Hayes was the standout, ripping through the Wadworth middle and lower order to finish with remarkable figures of 3/2 from just 1.3 overs. Hayes also made a major impact in the field, being directly involved in two run-outs, making it a five-wicket contribution from his involvement in the dismissals.

James Barker also impressed, taking 2/17 from his seven overs, while Craig Rimmer claimed 2/29.

Wadworth struggled to build any significant partnerships, although Brandon Mapp (34) and Thomas Hill (30) offered some resistance.
With wickets continuing to fall, Wadworth were eventually bowled out for 140 in 30.3 overs, giving Finningley a comprehensive 136-run victory.

A fantastic team performance from Finningley, with Shaun Fell’s unbeaten century setting the platform before the bowlers backed it up in style.
A well-deserved 136-run victory and an excellent Sunday for the Finningley XI! 🏏👏

MoM: Shaun for his 100 runs no
DoD: Caiden for ruining a youngster’s day!

Last Week’s Match Report‼️

On Sunday, Finningley welcomed rivals Mexborough to Rossington cricket ground.

The visitors, batting first, made a steady start before losing their first wicket at 60-1 (Jordan Rouane 28). That was shortly followed up by Finningley taking 2 quick wickets, reducing the visitors to 76-3, losing both Ryan Linney for 4 and Matthew Russell for 31.

Not long after, the batting collapse for Mexborough came, as they lost 7 wickets relatively quickly finishing on 119 all out. An excellent performance from the Finningley bowlers and field, and in particular Craig Rimmer & Tom Irving who both claimed 4 wickets to go with the 2 run outs.

Finningley went into their batting innings full of confidence, having put up much bigger totals in previous weeks. Finningley opened with Caiden Hayes and Jake Eagle, but Mexborough struck very early on as Jake was dismissed lbw for 0(2) leaving Finningley at 1-1.

Caiden followed soon after, scoring 7(22), before being caught behind. George Eagle was next to fall, being bowled for 1(19) leaving Finningley at 11-3 and having to weather an early batting collapse.

The rot continued into the middle order as Finningley lost another 3 quick wickets; those of Matthew Shaw for 3(9), Tom Irving for 0(2) and Geno Eagle for 0(3), leaving Finningley at 18-6 and a long way short of the target.

However it was a spirited fight back from the tail end as Finningley lost their remaining wickets, Rohail Habib 10(27), Mrinmoy Borgohain for 29(20), Harry Bayliss went for 12(19) and James Barker for 3(7), with Craig not out with 1(14)*

Finningley all out for 73 and a tough day at the office batting wise. Unable to extend the winning run beyond 2 games, attention now turns to this weekends fixture away at Wadworth, hoping for a much better performance and hopefully back to winning ways.

MoM: Craig Rimmer, a sharp run out and an excellent 4 wicket haul.

DoD: Tom Irving, bottling both a Hattrick and a five-for.

Match report‼️

After playing a tough away fixture against Parkhead previously, Tom Irving made the decision that he wanted to bat first, and after winning the toss, elected to do just that.

Finningley opened the batting with brothers, Shaun and Dan Fell, until the first wicket fell with Dan being bowled for 9(22).
George Eagle then followed with a somewhat impressive 19-ball duck, also being bowled.
Next into bat came Harry Bayliss who set a new personal best during a great 75 run partnership with Shaun, until Shaun was caught for 70(84). Tom then joined Harry in the middle putting on another great display of batting. Harry’s innings ended when he was caught for 41(39) putting the team on a steady 144-4 after 30 overs.

James Barker was next to come in and felt some quick runs were needed and hit a four from his first ball with his wicket falling not long after for 5(9). Next in was Geno Eagle, who reset the tempo with a steady partnership alongside Tom of 24 runs, until Geno was caught in the slips trying to put some runs on the board for 3(15). Last in was James Copley, who took no time to score runs with a very quick 22(12), being run out on the final delivery while attempting a single, with Tom finishing unbeaten on 57*(42), leaving Finningley with a very respectable 213-7.

James Copley and Craig Rimmer opened the bowling, and after only 3 overs, James took his first wicket of the day. The next over, James took another great wicket putting Parkhead at 18-2. It only took another 5 overs for James to get his third wicket, this time being caught by Shaun Fell. James then took his fourth wicket from a catch by Tom Irving, and the next ball took his fifth via a stumping by George Eagle, finally achieving the five-for he’d been chasing, putting Parkhead on the ropes at 60-5 from 16 overs.

Finningley then looked to James Barker and Harry Bayliss, looking for more pace to bring a wicket. The call was quickly justified as James bowled Parkhead’s talented youngster and really upped the pressure on the tail, reducing Parkhead to 66-6.

The next bowling change introduced Archie Eastwood and Seb Tallents, who were given the difficult task of preventing a Parkhead revival. Eventually Seb took the wicket that started the collapse, with Tom taking the eighth only three balls later, leaving Parkhead 148-8.

Seb then quickly finished the affair courtesy of a sharp catch from George Eagle for the ninth, and two balls bowling the number 11 to end the chase, leaving Parkhead at 153 all out, still 60 runs short.

A great performance from all the Finno lads with every player having their own moment to be proud of, and for the first time this season, securing back-to-back Sunday wins!

MoM: James Copley, for finally getting his five-for and a good finish with the bat🏏

DoD: James Copley, for a familiar occurrence at this point but retained his hat for bottling a hattrick and missing out on a six-for!

Match report‼️

On Sunday the Finningley 1st XI hosted Rother valley on a hot afternoon. The skipper, Tom Iriving, went into the toss confident that he wanted to bat, and after winning it chose to do exactly that.

Finningley opened with Shaun Fell & Jake Eagle who made a steady start, frustrating the Rother valley openers. Eventually the breakthrough was made as Jake departed for a steady 5(25). Next in was Mrinmoy Borgohain, who last week made 58 but unfortunately was unable to follow up and departed for 0(8).

Dan Fell joined his brother at the crease and contributed 7(12), before Caiden Hayes swung hard for his 11(13). As wickets continued to fall, Tom came in and started to build a partnership with Shaun, making a free flowing 25(21).

Wickets then began to tumble in the Finningley lower order as Scott Pearson [4(9)], James Barker [0(1)], Craig Rimmer [1(8)], James Copley [1(12)], and Geno Eagle [0(2)] were all dismissed, as Shaun carried his bat, making a brilliant 98*(83), just short of his first Finningley century.

Finningley were bowled out for 164 and had a job to do with the ball to win the game.

Finningley opened with James Copley & Mrin who made an excellent start, frustrating the Rother Valley openers with some very accurate bowling. It was Coppo with the breakthrough, removing all of the top 3 for only 5 runs!

Soon after, Mrin took his turn and his 1st wicket of the day when he dismissed S. Kamidi for 4(5) and at this point Rother Valley was struggling on 35/4. Finningley well up for the fight!

Scott Pearson was brought into the attack and in his first over took his first wicket, dismissing the threatening V. Gopi 25(23) courtesy of an excellent catch from James Barker in the field. Rother valley reduced to 62/5 and under pressure.

Next to go was J. Gulati 11(17) trapped LBW from the impressive bowling of James Copley who took his 4th Wicket of the game! 69/6.

Scott Pearson then added his 2nd of the afternoon dismissing Kondapalli for 8(13), before lead spinner Craig Rimmer was brought into the attack with Finningley chasing the final 3 wickets. It wasn't long before he got his first dismissal, as the aggressive M. Krishna 25(12) was caught behind attempting a switch hit. 106/8. Craig then got his 2nd wicket shortly after dismissing K.tata for 7(18), thanks to a stunning, sliding catch from Finningley’s resident salmon, Shaun.

Mrin finished off the innings by claiming the final wicket for Finningley dismissing Wiyyala for 26(41), leaving Rother Valley all out for 138 falling 26 runs short of the target!

J. Copley 8-22-4
M. Borgohain 5.3-33-2
S. Pearson 4-25-2
C. Rimmer 4-25-2
J. Barker 4-20-0

Finningley victorious, securing a third Sunday league win of the season, in a brilliant all round display.

Match report‼️

After a long break the lads hosted Hatfield last Sunday. With Skipper Tom losing the toss, again, FCC found themselves in the field, bowling first. James barker and Mrinmoy Borgohain opened the attack and started well, taking only 3.4 overs for Mrin to break the opening partnership. After a spell of tight bowling, and a few lucky escapes, Hatfield’s other opener, Joe Dixon, really found some good form with his bat and started finding the gaps, making the afternoon difficult for Finno in the field. Despite the good bowling spells from Mrin 8-26-2, James 7-29-1, and Harry Bayliss 6-37-1; Hatfield made a strong 241/5 off 40 overs.

After tea, the Finningley reply was lead by Jake [8(17)] and George Eagle [0(3)]. Off the back of his excellent bowling, Mrin came to rescue FCC with a classy Innings of 58(65). Unfortunately FCC just didn’t have any more time and fell short of the total and finished on 174/9 from their 40 overs. The stand out batting contributions being made by James 18(28), Harry 28(30), and Craig Rimmer 23(48).

MoM: Mrin for his excellent bowling and batting 🏏
DoD: George for fielding with his feet🤦‍♂️
