John Nester and his team of helpers were working hard in the September sunshine putting the finishing touches to the square for another season. John, Waggy, Kyle & Picko were all on hand to scarify, cut, spike, top dress, fertilize and seed the square on a gorgeous day. A well earned barbeque followed a hard days work!
At least the weekend ended on a high note with the Sunday XI being crowned Champions.
The short trip to Oxton was rewarded with a thumping victory by 7 wickets with 10 overs remaining. On a 'sporty' wicket the hosts had no answer to Calvo's 'hostile' bowling, lead by Kyle Welch with 4-3 off 8 overs. Oxton eventually crawled to 129-9 from 40 overs. The target proved no problem at all as Brinsley Kirkham recorded his third consecutive half century on a Sunday, steering the team to victory. With Rich Lee, Matt Dean & Billy Bennett all getting into the 20's, the champagne corks started popping with 10 overs left. Well done to all those involved and special mention to Captain Daz on leading the Sunday XI to back to back promotions. A bad Saturday was had by all as both the 1st XI and 2nd XI were relegated from their respective SNCL divisions.
The Second's finally had their fate sealed at Regatta Way against Gedling & Sherwood. The story of the game epitomized the season really. Gedling batted first and scored 194-8 when they shouldn't have got passed 150, but the catching (at least 6 were grassed) and the ground fielding was shocking. In reply Calvo got off to a great start as Will Peat and Derek Pickering put on 106 for the opening wicket. What should have been a stroll to victory turned into the all to familiar collapse as the innings closed 17 runs short with 8 wickets down - criminal! The First's also slipped down a league in another run fest at GLA. Gedling Colliery batted first and hit the ball to all parts. After 50 overs, 275-4 had been put on the scoreboard with 120 coming off the last 10 overs!! To maintain Division A status, only a win would suffice as the other scores filtered through. Despite a valiant effort (Eddie Lee 54, Rich Lee 43, Scott Andrew 40, Kevin Evans 39) it was to no avail as we finished 24 runs shy with 9 wickets down. Seven points were not enough and Division B it is for 2015. |
