First win of the season! 🥳

On Saturday we travelled to . Both captains were yet to win a toss but Astie called correctly and opted to bowl. Things were kept very tight in the first 10 overs by openers Ali Smith and Toby Malpas with Ali chipping away at the top order. As Painswick looked to kick on after the drinks break on came the skipper who picked up 4 middle order wickets. Ali Smith then returned and took the final wicket with a one handed caught and bowled to finish with superb figures of 4/11.

The momentum stayed in our favour at the change of innings, Ali and Steve Jones kept us well ahead of the required run rate from the off. Ali ultimately fell for 54 which brought Conrad Jones to the crease to see if the father-son pairing could take us home. Steve brought up his 50 with consecutive fours but the shot of the day was the match winner. 6 needed to win and Conrad slapped the ball back over the bowlers head for an almighty maximum.

We look to keep up the winning feeling at home to this weekend

It was a frustrating return to the Merryfields. The skipper lost another toss and once again we were batting first. The father-son Jones combination shared the top score of 24 but the total of 119 always looked a bit short.

Regular wickets kept the hopes alive but ultimately there wasn't enough scoreboard pressure on the Lechlade batsman and they got over the line in the 28th over.

3 changes to last week's team. In come Bryn Powell for his debut, Gary Whenman and Luke Cox for David Brewis, James Pullen and Luke Evans.

Both games against Oaksey last season fell foul to the weather so fingers crossed we're able to go the distance today!

It wasn't the result we wanted, but plenty of positives to take from our first fixture of the season, despite how it looks on the card.
Stand out performances from Steve Jones with the bat and the Malpas father and son combo with the ball.

Onto Oaksey this week 🏏

2nd XI 2023 Summary

All things considered, the 2nd team had a season to be proud of. All the talk in the off-season was whether we'd be able to field a 2nd XI but thanks to the hard work and consistency of skipper Andy Malpas and son Toby, we were able to name a side for 15 of the 16 league games. A mid-table finish was very respectable, but more importantly we've integrated lots of new players into the club.

With the bat, skipper Andy was just pipped at the top of the charts by Gary Whenman. Gary also stepped up to take the keeping gloves when we had no regular keepers available and took some absolute stunners along the way.

Andy again just missed out on the bowling award but this time it was Toby Malpas who got the most wickets across the club with 23.

The fielding charts were close right to the end. Colin Pensom took 8 fielding wickets across the season, 6 of which were for the 2nds. He is joint top with Liam Bushell. New to cricket this year, he took 6 catches in the 2nds and another 2 in the 1st team.

1st XI 2023 Summary

Due to a new team entering Division 5 of the County League, one extra team is being relegated from Division 6 this year and unfortunately that will be us. 6 out of our 18 matches fell foul to the rain but we had enough chances in the games that we're completed to take the few extra points we needed to stay up.

The ever reliable Ali Smith once again ends the season as our top run scorer, and he also topped the Division's run scoring charts. He was also crucial with the ball and in the field throughout the year again.

Skipper ends the season as both top bowler and tip fielder. He took 20 wickets, 5 catches and got 3 run outs to top both charts for bowling and fielding wickets taken. Kudos to .whiting.988 too who made the top 3 in all 3 categories. A proper all-rounder and key figure at the club due to his work on the pitch, but also off the pitch as our Head Groundsman.

Steve Jones is our other trophy winner. His 14 wickets behind the stumps meant that he has won the best Wicket Keeper award for GCCL Div 6.
