Rain Stops Play
Puckering were denied victory by the weather this week against normally tough
rivals West Bean. Bean were batting first and had collapsed 54 all out before the heavens
opened and play was suspended. Rachel again led the way with figures of 6-14. Compensation
for the players was an early visit to the Village Idiot where Bean were further humiliated
in a village darts contest. National Village Championship
The success of the Irregulars in this season matches has prompted captain Nigel
Morcombe to enter the club in the national Village Championship sponsored by The Cricketer
magazine. Since the games start in April it is too late for the team to compete this year
but Morcombe has high hopes for next year. "Some would say the girls have made the
difference but really we've been improving over the last few years and I think we can be a
real force next year," he noted. "They play the final at Lords, you know."
Apology
The Gazette wishes to apologize for any inaccuracies in last weeks reporting of the
Irregulars cricket club. Their opponents were Wooden Forest and the fine catch mentioned
was caught by Bert Walsham. |
