committee meeting

Should we have an EGM about where to have this meeting? I have been informed that the venue is, after all, THE DUNGEON same day same time - anyone else who's not going to be present got an opinion?

what?

You go away for two days for your anniversary - hang your head in shame, boy! You can make up for it by having the most outrageous Pirate outfit on the 10th....

Race Night

Is that date confirmed for the 1st October? It's our anniversary on the 2nd so we'll be away.

sunny weather, gloomy outlook

Just a quick note from a frustrated CDO - because we are crap at the moment and the 1st team are playing one of the top two teams in the league on Saturday and the 2nds are striving to avoid relegation : do you think we should have a net tonight? Just a thought......

Something smells fishy ...

It's Craig Parkinson's aquarium!

Saturday ...

First of all, thanks to those players who were able to turn up and fill in for us on Saturday, and sorry you had to be part of that fiasco! That was probably the worst fielding display I've ever seen, but I would like to single out Steve Smith who was terrific, never let his head go down and always keep up the enthusiasm levels even when we were getting mullered.

Well done to Glodwick, and particularly Mark and Stocky who batted very well after some early let offs - they do say catches win matches don't they!? A score of 276 suggests we bowled badly - actually I thought the bowling was fine, but on that wicket once you got in and were set, it was a peach of a track. With better fielding we ought to have kept it to about 200, which might have been gettable with a better start.

Took some spin though eh!!! ;-) (well done Clive for suggesting I try a bit of the twirlybird stuff - might try more in future!)

The batting was pretty shoddy, though I'd like to say well done to Seebert for two fantastic catches to get rid of me and Bird, and also Mike Ainscoe who I thought batted well on his return to the firsts. 48-1 to 90 all out - another typical collapse!

Hopefully we can just chalk Saturday up to end of season/nothing to play for apathy with a makeshift side and put up a stronger showing against Robbies when a few of the old guard return!!

Oh yes, and sorry I lost the toss ;-) hehe.

Robinsons

Just to let the selection Commitee know that I'm not available on saturday v robbies as i've got a function to got to. Sorry

Cheers Scott

Cheers scott

Sad News

Just back from holiday and sorry to hear the sad news. My thoughts are with all those affected by this loss.

Thank You

Thank you, your thoughts are very much appreciated at this time,

Dan & Steve

Sad news

A sad loss to TSJCC, our thoughts are truely with the Moriarty family at this time.

Sympathies

Steve and Dan,

Offering you my sincerest condolences on your loss - this is awful news and I just want to let you know we're thinking of you. He will be very sorely missed by all.

More sad news.

Steve Moriarty's Dad, Chris, had been in poor health for some considerable time now and was recently diagnosed as being terminally ill. I'm sad to inform you that Chris lost his fight and passed away on Thursday morning.

Until his illness, Chris was a regular spectator and supporter of both both the 1st & 2nd teams when his family was playing and frequently scored for both teams. If my memory serves me right, I think he has also stepped in and represented the club on the field of play aswell.

Our thoughts are with Steve and Dan and their family.

mange toutes, rodney!

Good luck at weekend to both teams - I'm off to Gay Paris tomorrow for a bit of vin, be back Sunday.

RESULT!!!!

Failsworth got a game in at the weekend and were beaten by Greenmount, We are now 9 points clear going into the game against the unbeaten Glodwick

also Broadway beat Fothergill by 3 wickets in the cup final

Fothergill batted first and were 136 All out and Broadway knocked them off for 7 wickets

Glorious evening last night - 4 second team players netting - it must be great to be in the 1st team, winning all the time, not needing to practise....

Awesome Vaughan!

He's on 165 now!!!!

*Another* 150 would be stupendous!

Oooooooo Tetchy!

You are correct, he is indeed a fine upstanding Lancastrian and he definitely owes us runs - about 150 would be lovely thanks very much!

cheers

Vaughan's batting well (41n/o at lunch) - just been in a chip shop - the guy said "Yeh - bloody Yorkshire bast#rd owes us some runs!" - I pointed out two very salient points to him - firstly that he is in fact a bloody Lancastrian and secondly that this BYB was taking his custom elsewhere!

Everyone's at OT!

Well a good four or five at least are ...

I'm chasing a couple of people (Andy mainly), will keep you posted.

Come on England!

shhhhhh!

oh its really quite out there now! - is this because no one knows anybody that can play or are we all waiting for the Aussies to start bowling?

desperate

calling all Totty....calling all Totty.....
We are approx x3 players short of 22 for Saturday - can anyone please pursuade, blackmail, threaten, drug, whatever (trevor) to stop us from being fined (and hammered) - contact either me or Clive or Jonesy - to me, turning out 11's and fulfilling fixtures is just as important to us as a club as winning trophies/hosting big events like 20/20.

Would anyone with the slightest possibility that they are available please PLEASE do make yourself known!
The second team is in dire need of bodies also.....

NMCL Game

Game ended with us 205-6ish, about 20 short. I was 2nd top scorer with 36, and Mo hit an absolutely excellent 61 off 26 balls to almost win it. Bird went in right at the death and got about 10 not out. The Sri Lankan batsman who got all the runs for them was very very quick, and several of us are quite bruised!! He could have killed Darren Smith if he hadn't got a glove in the way.

NMCL

What was the outcome? Who got any runs?

CD

Mike Ainscoe is now back from the US and he is the one dealing with it.

Photo

Who do i give the money to for the cd with the 20/20 photos on?

bon chance!

Good luck to both teams this weekend!
Please can you all fine yourselves loads as we are well behind on fine-fund raising - or I could just double fines for remaining games! (evil laugh....)

small world innit?

Just back from Corfu - bumped into 2 blokes (and their families) from Robinsons - Darren Smith? At least I shared the bad news re Rochdalians beating us and going top.....
1st good day you've had for a while - can we have a net tonight?????

Now hang on there....

Well I never Mr Ainscoe. Not only do you miss the peak of my batting career so far, meaning not one photo of the event but you have a go at the slightly lucky aspect of the innings. For someone who regularly plays and misses for fun outside the off-stump it's a bit rich.....at least when I hit it I tend to welly it!!!! Oh, it was the old man aka Dr Doom who originally made the accusation about your ability to play and miss I'm merely voicing the rumor mike!

hang on...

just spotted N Fletcher dropped 3 times before reaching 50.....now there's a surprise!

Howdy pardners

Hi guys
Just logged on to see what's happening in goog ol' England UK.
See Nick got a nice 50 - but how long did it take to get off the mark guy??
Just make sure you get a win next week guys!
Kieran's back soon and has been left a newsletter with a load of stuff from the 20/20 which seems ages ago now.
Speak soon
Bye for now - Alan Whicker.....
