*U9s are Nidderdale Junior Cricket League Runners Up!*

It poured with rain for finals day, but it didn't dampen our spirits! A great morning of cricket saw Ripon finish in second. With 30 teams across the divisions this year, coming second to a very strong Harrogate side was a great testament to how well we have played all season.

In the semi final vs Bilton in Ainsty, we put on an absolute masterclass in the field to restrict them to a net score of just nine runs!! It was our best fielding performance of the year taking nine wickets with three direct hit run outs, and wickets for six of our eight players. Absolutely incredible. We chased the total with ease to win by 63 runs and progress to the final.

Facing Harrogate, who put us in to bat, we never really found our semi-final form in the face of some very accurate bowling. We once again bowled and fielded well but without enough runs of the board, Harrogate deservingly won the final.

It's been a fabulous season of junior cricket, and it was a shame it finished in torrential rain, but all the kids have been brilliant this year and the coaches, managers (and parents!) could not be prouder of their achievements.

A wonderful afternoon celebrating our dear friend Peter Squires with his friends and family. He will always be our club ‘legend’ we couldn’t think of a better way to honour him.

Dreams do come true! 🏏

We are so proud of Oliver Moorcroft who stepped out at Lords representing York MCC U15 Boys this weekend. The result did not go their way with West Kent winning the match. However Oliver eats and sleeps cricket and has made such a massive contribution to junior and senior cricket at Ripon CC, Captain of the Raiders Team and established young talent of the 1st XI. This accolade represents the hard work and commitment he has shown to the sport he loves. Congratulations to Oliver and the rest of the boys!

Last week saw a first for Ripon CC when the girls played in there first ever all girls hardball match, welcoming Ouseburn. With a mixture of first ever hardball games and some more experience, all the girls had a great time and it was amazing to showcase girls cricket across the area.

Ripon Ladies Stay Unbeaten with Another Brilliant Sunday

Ripon Ladies made it another unbeaten Sunday with some fantastic cricket, and it's safe to say we've really found our groove. Confidence is high, and it's showing in every game.

Our bowling was more accurate keeping the wides down and regular wickets putting the pressure on the opposition. Shout out to Liv who produced some of the best bowling all season. With the bat, everyone played positively, striking the ball brilliantly and helping us put some excellent scores on the board.

The best part is that everyone is contributing, whether it's with bat, ball or in the field, and the team spirit is better than ever. We're loving our cricket at the moment, and we can't wait to do it all again next week!

Thank you to Studley Royal CC for hosting.

For their last match of the season, the U15 Raiders travelled to Harrogate for a tense finale.

Ripon won the toss and elected to bat however Harrogate quickly had them on the ropes with Ripon being 7/4 after the first few overs. Some quick runs from both Maxwell and James saw the total creep up and when Josh dug in to steady the ship, Ripon managed to creep to a final total of 76 all out.

With such a low score for Harrogate to reach, it looked like it would be an early finish for the boys. However Ripon's bowlers started even stronger than Harrogate's did with the openers Jack and Maxwell both claiming wickets in their first overs, leaving Harrogate 5/4. Their next partnership dug in until the breakthrough came from Oliver's slower ball, removing Harrogate's top two scorers. However Ripon's low total in the first innings proved to be the difference between the sides and Harrogate came out the victors with a couple of overs to spare.

A disappointing finish to what has been an amazing season for the Raiders. But they should all be very proud of what they have achieved as this is a team mainly made up of U14s and U13s, playing against some much bigger and stronger lads.

A big thank you must also be made to John Inglis who is stepping down as coach of the Raiders. John has been involved in their training since the lads were playing in the U9 age group and he will be missed! Roll on 2027!!

Ripon Ladies Take Their First Steps into Hardball Cricket

Ripon Cricket Club's women's section celebrated a fantastic milestone last week as the squad took to the field for their very first hardball match in an inter-club development game.

With a mixture of excitement, nerves and plenty of enthusiasm, players embraced the challenge of making the step up from softball cricket. The match provided the perfect opportunity for everyone to experience the hardball game in a supportive and encouraging environment, with the emphasis firmly on learning, developing skills and, most importantly, enjoying themselves.

A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped organise the fixture and supported the players throughout the evening. If this first experience is anything to go by, there are plenty more exciting hardball nights ahead for Ripon Ladies.
