Keeping up appearances
If it’s good enough for the MCC, it’s good enough for Coleshill Cricket Club. Will all players and spectators please ensure they know exactly what to wear the next time they visit The Meadow.
Double delight for Coleshill
The league season is finally up and running and Coleshill CC enjoyed double success on Saturday. Read more…
Practice makes perfect
Captain Potts is keen for some practice at The Meadow ahead of Coleshill’s first league game of the season against Hurley. There’s a midday roll call for all players.
Lesson No.1 – how to stop the ball going for six:
Obviously, if this was Potts in action it would be considered a drop. We must keep our standards high.
When Saturday comes
It looks like the rain may relent long enough for Coleshill to enjoy their first leagues game of the season this weekend. The 1st XI are at home to Hurley 2nds. The visitors are currently top of the table after somehow fitting a game of cricket in last weekend amid the showers. Meanwhile, Coleshill 2nd XI make the trip to Little Marlow.
Cup KO
Coleshill suffered an early exit from the National Village Knockout Cup on Sunday, after suffering a five-wicket defeat at home to Stoke Green.
Curtain-raisers cancelled
Coleshill 1st XI’s opening league fixture of the season, at Holyport, has been cancelled. Despite the drought we are all suffering at the moment, it was of little surprise to hear the ground was deemed sodden and unplayable – a fate which has befallen several clubs in the league. It was a similar story at The Meadow, where the 2nd XI game against Winchmore Hill failed to go ahead.
A new season dawns
OK, well there might not actually be any play this weekend, but you never know. This Saturday sees the season get under way with Coleshill 1st XI travelling to Holyport, while the 2nd XI host Winchmore Hill. A pitch inspection at Holyport is due at lunchtime tomorrow (Friday) so keep your eyes peeled for further updates. Until then, stay dry and find yourself a warm pullover.
Cow stops play
A YouTube treat today from the North Manchester League (famous for its dry weather) and a good lesson to all batsmen about making sure they don’t leave the gate open…
