Just an early heads up that on Sunday 2nd August YCC will be hosting a cricket match against SWAST. After the game has finished there will be rounders and some family games.

You are all cordially invited to come along, the bar will be open and a BBQ will be serving burgers and hotdogs in the afternoon.

Permission has been granted by the Athletics Association to allow up to 5 vans to stay overnight.

A thriller that went right to the final overs! 🏏

Plymouth looked to be cruising, but some late hitting dragged Yealmpton right back into the contest and set up a tense finish. Despite the fightback, we fell just 7 runs short.

Standout performances came from S Knapp (78)* and S Bennett, whose 53 came from just 20 balls, while T Mitchell (2/6) stalled the Plymouth cc onslaught and impressed with the ball.

Congratulations to Plymouth CC on a fantastic game played in great spirit.

💙💛

🏏 JUNIORS MATCH REPORT – GOLD vs RED 🏏
What a fantastic evening of cricket at Yealmpton CC as we held our first juniors match for nearly a decade! ☀️👏
After winning the toss, YCC Gold elected to field first, sending the Reds in to bat. With batting taking place in pairs for four overs each, the Reds built their innings steadily. Despite losing a few wickets along the way – each costing five runs – they batted positively to post a competitive target of 38 runs from their 12 overs.
Gold made the perfect start to the chase, with the opening pair finding the boundary regularly and, crucially, keeping hold of their wickets to put the pressure back on the Reds. However, the Reds responded brilliantly with some disciplined bowling, sharp fielding and a couple of timely wickets to bring the match right back into the balance.
It all came down to a tense final over, with the Reds knowing that one more wicket from the final ball would secure victory. The Gold batters held their nerve though, seeing out the last delivery to claim a thrilling 5-run win.
More importantly than the result, it was a fantastic advert for junior cricket. The enthusiasm, teamwork, encouragement and sportsmanship shown by every player was brilliant to see, and the match was enjoyed by a great crowd of parents, families and club members on a beautiful summer evening.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support, helped organise the evening and made it such a special occasion. Hopefully this is the start of many more Yealmpton Juniors matches to come! 🏏

A results catch-up from the last couple of weeks...
We’ve had two good home games in the P&D League against Plymouth and Cornwood. Unfortunately the results didn’t quite go our way, but there was still plenty of entertaining cricket, some excellent individual performances and lots of positives to take from both matches. Onto the next one!
