Ducklington – Away – Steve Dixon Cup

Once again it seems that the Sunday match report has found it’s way onto the website before the Saturday one, I blame the captains… This week was round 2 of the Steve Dixon Memorial Cup, after dealing with the troublesome Chipping Norton in round 1 we were confident when taking on Ducklington. The difference this time? We’re away. And anyone who’s played against Ducklington will know what I mean by that… whether you’ve played football or cricket you will have experienced the same facilities and insanely low showers. Only thing shorter are the…continue reading →

Garsington II – Away – League

Having turned up at Garsington with a very enthusiastic 9, (doesn’t bowed well when one player gets stuck in London and the other loses his car keys so cant get to the ground) we thought what else could go wrong..?! Well, I hear you ask, that ‘WORST’ happened... we decided that only having 9 wasn’t enough of a start for them, a batting collapse was more fun. I myself was most guilty contributing a well played 0. Only Barry “lion king, Simba, oh crap look at the Lion at Chessington Zoo with no…continue reading →

Chipping Norton – Home – Steve Dixon Cup

Feeling guiltily lazy after Steve managed to get 2 match reports written in the time it has taken me to write this one. In my defence, I’m umm lazy! Saturday’s game at home vs Chipping Norton was the first round of the Steve Dixon Cup, those who followed the Saturday side last year will remember them beating us with ease twice before going on to win the league. Starting with 10, who would have thought fielding first was a good idea, well me! I won the toss and put them into bat. A…continue reading →

Steventon Home – Saturday

Wantage won the toss and decided to put Steventon in to bat. Opening the bowling were Duncan “Long Dog” Wooloff and Ryan “Pippin” Martin, some early wickets for Pippin dismissed the top order, including a cracking gully catch by the older, gingerer, Zimbo Barry. Catches not quite sticking cost Long Dog a couple of wickets but still finished up with decent figures, one over letting them down, some interesting shots lets say. Replacing the openers were Oliver Taylor and Chaz Boshell, 5 quick wickets between them took the innings away from Steventon. Stewart…continue reading →
