Semi-Final Success for the under fifteens
July 7th, 2010Most people thought that getting to the semi-final of the U15s Cup was a great achievement and that drawing Roe Green who are unbeaten this season would signal the end of the cup run. The lads however were insistent that they were going to win and they didn’t let us down.
Roe Green were put in to bat and achieved a decent 102 after the 20 overs. Not the greatest score but we have had difficulty already this season chasing scores of less than 100 so it was game on. Niall Maher and Zach Clough opened the batting and Niall showed his intent with a 4 off the first ball.
We lost Zach early but Ali Ismail was excellent, retiring on 43. We lost our way a little in the middle but Niall was superb and retired on 40. Callum Clayton and Jack Stringer saw us home with an over and two balls left. We now face Denton West in the final. Well done to the whole squad, the only Denton team to reach a final this season.
Good Day for Jonny Mc
June 26th, 2010Denton 198 all out, Stand 187 all out
The sun was shining again and following our recent success we were looking to make it three in a row. Stand won the toss and put us in. We got off to a great start, not losing the first wicket until we had reached 39. However things quickly changed and we found ourselves at 80-6. A good knock again (28) from Martin Parker and an excellent 67 from Jonny “the welder” McIlwaine put us back on track. We finished on 198 all out, unfortunately handing Stand 8 extra overs. We got off to a great start with Stand being on 12-3 after only a few overs. Things were going very well and at 140 for 9 the whole crowd thought it was game over. The last wicket partnership of Curphey and Beirne had other ideas and continue to push Stand towards the 199 they needed. The last wicket fell when Steve Roebuck caught Beirne in slip off the bowling of Neill leaving Stand 12 runs short of their target. Great game. Excellent bowling from Neill (5) and Omar (5) and another 5 victims for Jonny Mac.
Fielding Masterclass from Patel
June 19th, 2010Irlam 160 all out, Denton 181-9
Looking to build on last weeks win we set off for Irlam with confidence. After winning the toss and electing to bat we were soon struggling at 27 for 4. The introduction of Martin Parker put us back on track with an excellent 65 and a sprinkling of 6 hits which had the neighbouring houses glad that we are finished at Irlam for another year. Martin was ably assisted by Janak who hit a decent 27. Jon and Omar added another 33 runs and we ended up on a reasonable 182 for 9. Irlam also lost early wickets and then rallied a little but some superb catching and fielding particulary from Janak ensured another 5 points when we bowled Irlam out for 160.
