September 1, 2010

Graham Davidson Memorial

Single Wicket Competition



On the 5th September 2010 between 12.00 – 6.00, the club will host the Graham “Davo” Davidson Memorial Single Wicket.



For those that don’t know the format, it’s a knockout competition, open to all members over 15, where player A bowls at player B for a set number of deliveries, scoring runs from the bat and losing runs when out and then player 2 will bowl at player 1. There are 4 fielders and a wicket keeper provided, same for both players. The winner is the player with the most runs at the end of the contest.

Places are limited so please sign up on the sheet in the dressing room as soon as possible. £5/£3 entry fee, the bar will be open and there will be a BBQ from 2pm. (proceeds to the Cricket Club’s new nets fund)



Your support would be much appreciated on what should be a brilliant day, the sun has been ordered and it is a fitting finale to a great season for the club and in memory of Graham.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS...

August 29, 2010

...instead...turn off your computer and get down to the Flacca to watch the 3rd XI in their season finale.

BANK HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN - Sunday 29th August/Monday 30th August. Tattenhall 3rd XI play their final two league matches (both at home starting from 1pm). The bar will be open and there shall be the usual fayre of quality cricket, comedy and entertainment.

To remind you - a single win will see the mighty 3rds secure 2nd place in the League - and promotion. 2 wins means that we might fnish as Champions (depending on other results and the rain in Sale!).

Either way - we shall be celebrating the imminent wedding of Chris Cottier with an unofficial, rebel Stag Do on Sunday night. Starting post-match at the Flacca, touring the Village and then possibly to town.

Be there - your Club needs you!!

Roger Burch Taken illl

August 2, 2010

Our club secretary , Roger Burch , suffered a heart attack at the weekend and is currently recovering in hospital.
I am pleased to say that Roger is up and about and hoping to come out soon.
One of his first thoughts were of the next committee meeting for which he instructed his wife to notify the club of his enforced absence!
We wish Roger a speedy recovery and hope to see him back down at the club soon.

Tattenhall host Bunbury Festival

July 30, 2010

This week, Cheshire hosted the English Schools Cricket Association annual Under 15s Bunbury Festival, and Tattenhall were asked to host two 50 over matches, with Nick Wrigley as President of Cheshire Schools Cricket Association.
Unfortunately the game on Monday was abandoned without a ball being bowled, but on Thursday there was an exciting game between the North and the Midlands, with some fine performances from players, many of whom are likely to become senior County and possibly international players.
The management of the Festival were were highly impressed with the facilities and organisation at the club, and will no doubt be praising the club within the cricket community.
Special thanks must go the Brian for producing such a great wicket and outfield, Doug for cooking bacon butties from 9am to 2pm (hey proved very popular),Fiona for serving tea and coffee all day, and the army of young volunteers whose presence and efforts so impressed the visitors. These included Callum Wilson, Stuart Sadler, Martin Sharp, Josh Harding, Finlay Pilkington, Rory Jones, Ed Williamson and of course Henry Dobson!
As well as working on players' drinks, sightscreens, covers and scorebox, they will hopefully have been inspired by the quality of cricket they were watching.
A most successful day for the club!
