South
Weald v Margaretting Saturday 29th May 2010
South
Weald II 195-9 beat Margaretting 109 all out by 86 runs
Normal service resumed on the weather
front - another cold, dark, wet and windy day. Having won the toss,
asking the oppo to bat seemed the right option but South Weald got
off to a good start with Burke top scoring with 82 and Imbert making
45. Heavy rain reduced to the match to 37 overs a side. After the
openers had gone, wickets fell steadily and Weald finished on 195-9.
Olly G took 4-42 off 12 and on his return Mike Hodgson 2-35.
A steady start saw us at 82-2, Pres
making 29 Buck 13 Olly G 22 and Danny 15, but we were never up with
the required rate. The introduction of the leg spinner Aquila saw a
collapse after that; he finished with 7-19 off 9. MCC all out for
109.
Margaretting v South Woodham Ferrers Saturday 22nd
May 2010
Margaretting 247-7 beat South Woodham Ferrers II 147ao by 100 runs
A good toss to win on a baking hot
day, and MCC chose to bat. The top of the order were all amongst the
runs; Pres top scored with 59 ably assisted by Buck 16, Rodders 26,
James B 20 and Colin W 44no. Chris R adding 33 at the end. MCC
finishing on 247-7, aided by 46 extras.
In reply SWF were all out for 147 in
37 overs. After losing 3 early wkts, SWF staged a recovery with a
good stand between Stuart 39 and Patient 38. Once the stand was
broken, wickets fell regularly; Colin with 5-34 off 12 and Lee 3-42
off 11 doing the damage. Danny Warrilow sealed victory with his
maiden wicket for the club.
Southend EM
& T II v Margaretting Saturday 15th May 2010
Margaretting
142-4 beat Southend EM & T II by 6 wkts
After a start delayed by horrendous
traffic problems, MCC took the field in the usual dark and cold
conditions. Steady bowling kept the run rate down to 2.5/over at the
half way mark, with the oppo losing only 1 wkt at this point. After
drinks, wickets fell regularly as they pushed to increase the rate.
Lee finishing with 5-33 and Pres 3-26. An excellent spell from Chris
P, 0-28 off 12, deserved better. Rodders also chipped in with a wkt.
SEMT were all out for 139 in 45 overs, Fessey top scored with a
watchful 35.
After tea the sun shone, as did our
batting. Despite some good accurate bowling, James B 58no and Chris
R 6no saw us past their total with 9 overs to spare. Double figure
contributions from Bellars, Buck, Rod and Lee laid the foundations
for the winning total.
Writtle v Margaretting
Saturday 1st May 2010MCC
125-9 (45 overs) lost to Writtle II 126-9 (44.1 overs) by 1 wkt
After losing the toss, MCC were asked to bat. On a slow damp track
and against accurate bowling runs were hard to come by, Buck and
Rodders putting on 40 in 19 overs before a traditional middle order
collapse saw us at 64-7 with 11 to go. Super knock from the skipper
ably assisted by OG and Robbo saw us to 125-9, Lee finishing on
45no.
That total was never going to be easy to get, as was proved by great
opening spells from Chris P (3-18)and Willy (2-28). Steady rain made
the ball hard to grip but wickets fell regularly. OG (2-38) and
Robbo (2-13) continued the good work. Heavy rain made the conditions
even more difficult but in a very tense finish, Writtle scraped home
in the last over.
Always disappointing to lose such a close game but a great effort
chaps!

Sunday XI
Match Reports 2010 |
Margaretting
v Stock Sunday 30th May 2010
Margaretting
126-6 beat Stock 125 all out by 4 wkts
Stock won the toss and chose to bat.
Excellent bowling from all concerned, Olly G with another haul of
4-25, DG 3-19, Jack 1-12 and Will 1-10. Lee might have had a wicket
but chose not to risk a collision with Chris Jones in the middle of
the pitch - very wise indeed! Boxer 41 and King 30 top scored for
Stock who finished on 125 all out.
A shaky start to the chase at 21 for
3. But Bucky, batting throughout the innings for a leisurely 28no,
and Lee, an excellent 51 off 32 balls before retiring hurt, got us
close to the target. Chris J chipped in with 18 at the end and MCC
won by 4 wkts.
Margaretting v South Weald Sunday 23rd May
2010
South Weald 227-5
(40 overs) beat Margaretting 214-5 (40 overs) by 13 runs
Another scorcher, and South Weald chose to bat. After a big opening
stand from Imbert 98 and Hull 79, a huge target looked on the cards
but to their credit, SW gave some of the youngsters a chance and
posted a final total of 227. Luke Seager took a career best 3-28.
At 25-3 that target looked a long way off but cometh the hour,
cometh the man! Dave Glasson putting his previous scores of 2,1no,2
and 0 and threatened retirement behind him and after scoring his
first half century off just 36 balls caressed his way to a mammoth
93no! A stand of 115 with Will, who made 47, got us back on target
but in the end finished just short. Pick of the bowling was Hull
3-26 and the ever reliable Eddy Pickton with 1-16 off 8. A great
game of cricket!
Mountnessing
v Margaretting Sunday 16th May 2010
Margaretting
214 all out Mountnessing 37-1 Match abandoned
The usual run fest that this fixture
has produced looked like continuing on Sunday. Excellent
contributions from ’Dangerous’ O. Glasson 17, Colin Wade 37, Rod
63 and Buck 34no set the scene for a biggish score but from 99-1 and
187-4, MCC collapsed to 214 all out. There was some fine bowling
from the young Mountnessing attack, with D. Chapman taking 4 wkts in
5 balls to close the innings.
The rain then fell during tea and
after a delayed start Mountnessing made 37-1 before conditions
became unplayable. Chapman finished on 22no, Lee took the only
wicket to fall.
