Intra-Club T20 Tournament
Next week we hope to begin the inaugural inter-club T20 cricket tournament. This tournament has been organised to create an opportunity for our players to play more competitive cricket during the season, as one game a week is not enough for them. This will also allow for players having any technical or tactical issues with their batting, bowling or wicket keeping or have not been able to get enough opportunities to take part in the game as much they should or would like to get.
Though we have the facilities available to work on technical issues, what individuals need is match practice and a competitive environment to put their improvements/changes into practice.
- The tournament will be taking place from the first week of July. And matches will be played on Tuesday and Wednesdays
- Matches will be started at 5.30 or 6pm (will be decided later)
- There will be three teams of nine players, 3 Players from1st X1, 3 from 2nd X1, and 3 from 3rd X1. (if availability is good then we will have 11 a side)
- Matches will be played on league basis.
- Each team will play twice against each others.
- Nine players of the team will decide their captain.
- One player from batting team will field for the other team who will be replaceable after 5 over.
- Matches will be played with older (good conditioned) ball.
- Each fielding team will have 75 minutes to finish their 20 over.
- For every 4 minutes over the allotted time the fielding team will have one less over to bat. (This will be up to the umpires discretion)
- Two top teams will qualify for the final.
- Each team will pay £50.00 entry fees.
- Winning team will get £100.00 cash prize.
- There will also be a prize for the best batsman, best bowler of the league and man of the match of the final.
- There will be neutral umpires in the game (2 umpires form the 3rd team not involved in the game).
If you are interested and want to play then please email me ASAP to confirm your availability.
U15 B v Maccabi Cancelled
Sadly tonights U15 B game away to Maccabi has been called off.
Game of two Halves
It’s a shame to use a football cliche in describing a cricket match but last nights U15B ‘s match against Totteridge Millhillians couldn’t be more apt. After not achieving the heights with the bat they might have expected in reaching 66 all out, Old Elizabethans shone in the field. Their ground fielding was first class and the bowling was excellent and all this was highlighted by a superb catch by Aaron in what ended in victory for Old Elizabethans.
