Concorde Cricket Club

Concorde Cricket Club Concorde is a purely social side, we are not involved in league cricket, and play the majority of our games on Sunday afternoons.

So if you are looking for a friendly game of cricket, at not too high a standard, we are always looking for new players!

Match Report CCC v TVR
Another lovely day for cricket following a dismal week weather wise. On paper we had a strong batting line up but possibly a tad light on bowling. Predictably the toss was lost and we were asked to field.

Last minute replacement Jonny Ayling opened the bowling with John Willson and it was immediately clear that the track wasn’t playing particularly fast! Jonny bowled a great first spell, beating the bat and just missing the stumps on numerous occasions and was unlucky not to pick up a couple of scalps. Runs were at a premium although following the opening spells only 1 wicket had fallen. Jerry Wright and Edgar Fernandes then entered the fray and while Edgar bowled consistently well, giving nothing away Jerry produced one of the spells of the ages. Bowling a tight off stump line he took 7 wickets for 21 runs in 13 overs. A club record surely? Jody bowled a tight few overs and was unlucky not to snaffle a wicket. Jonny and Edgar picked up a wicket each in their second spells and job done. Ramblers all out for 112.

The chase started well with Jody and Edgar looking comfortable although the track was clearly still playing slow Edgar fell after a few overs and Jody was unlucky to be run out off a deflection while backing up! John, Nick and Justin all succumbed to the temptation of playing “July” shots in May and the cricket Gods then toyed with Jerry as he was bowled first ball. The game looked lost but Rob Symondson was still ticking along and the lower order then showed how a slow track should be played. Rob and Nigel batted sensibly and patiently stuck in, frustrating the bowlers. We lost Rob, then Luca (it would have gone miles if you’d connected!) which brought Scott Fern to the crease. Scott showed grit and a very solid forward defensive stroke and upon losing Nigel, Scott saw out a very nervy last over, with Jonny Ayling ably holding up the other end. Final score 68-9 and match drawn

Some close in Fielding by the opposition for the last wicket in the last over. Well played Scott at the end.

A low scoring game and honours even for an enjoyable and in the end, exciting, draw

Match report below: Concorde vs Putney – 07/05/23

As first games of the season go this was a good one to be involved in. Thanks to Mick for managing to prepare a wicket that played remarkably well considering the horrendous weather in the weeks preceding

Also thanks to people arriving in time to get everything ready and set up, especially as Putney arrived spectacularly early, hence the 15 minute early start to proceedings!

Onto the cricket……

Having warned everyone that I was the unluckiest coin tosser ever…….. Putney won the toss and elected to field.

The conditions were warm but overcast and Jordy Dyer and Jodi Mycroft headed out to face the new ball (one ball per game Prash!)

Jody was unlucky to be bowled by a good ball from the Putney opener, P. Hogarth, but he wouldn’t be the only victim as Hogarth returned figures of 7-34, bowling 17 overs.

Jordy played some sweeping drives and also despatched the odd full toss to, and over the boundary and looked in good nick. However we lost a few wickets in quick succession, Jordy succumbing to Hogarth on 44. Nick Freeman was unlucky to have one clip his pads before deflecting onto the stumps and Phil Hall looking comfortable before doing some plane spotting mid-shot! Hogarth also did for Edgar with a ball that seemed to stop a bit before being chipped to mid on.

At this stage we were 89-6 and needed a bit of tail wagging, luckily we had a strong batting lineup and Justin was unlucky to be caught after hitting a tracer to extra cover.

Prash Kumar showed that he can smite a ball and on his way to an entertaining 34 was well supported by Ben Westen and Luca Coleman (run your bat in!!).

It would be remiss not to mention another 0 not out from Cudders.

All out for 152 which felt about 20 too few.

Putney took a liquid tea and upon taking to the pitch again their openers set off to a decent start before Ben Westen took the opening scalp of the season with the score at 23. At the other end Prash was bowling with pace and accuracy and his first Concorde wicket came courtesy of a well held catch by Nick Freeman.

Putney were despatching anything loose to the boundary, John W eked out an LBW (plumb from where I was standing!) but at 76-3 and with plenty of time left Putney looked favourites.

Our bowling and fielding needed to be tight to have any chance of a victory and things started to happen. Nick F produced a great bit of fielding to run out the Putney number 5.

Cudders then produced a spell of bowling, in tandem with Prash’s second spell which turned the tide. Cudders took 2 wickets and kept runs to a minimum whilst Prash took a further 3 at the other end. Between them they took 6 wickets and went for only 24 runs.

At 113-9 we now looked like favourites but the last pair started swinging and connecting and the final wicket saw Putney short by just 13 runs.

The fielding was excellent, no catches dropped (Cudders………) and a thoroughly enjoyable first outing.

One of Ben's overs.

Wicket held up really well. A fine first cricket match of the season. Looking forward to next week.

Gentlemen,

Ash has asked me to issue the team for this week’s opening fixture. There were 16 to choose from, so it was a difficult decision on which 5 players to omit this week, and apologies to those who have not been selected on this occasion but your turn will come. Ash has stepped down himself for this one, so new vice -skipper John Willson will lead the team, which is as follows:

J.Willson capt
J.Redfern wk
J.Dyer
E.Fernandes
N.Freeman
P.Hall
J.Mycroft
P.Kumar
L.Coleman
B.Westen
I.Cudworth

The match starts at 1pm, but as we have to assemble the sight screen as well as all the other normal setting up duties, can we all get there early by around 11.30am.

See you Sunday.

Ian
