Mount Edgcumbe Collapse
It had to happen! probably not the first, but the most spectacular of the season.
In the last game, disappointing that we couldn’t get eleven players, the infamous Mount Edgcumbe collapse occurred. Andrew fourth out with the score on 147, saw us all out for 147! Yes five more wickets fell without the addition of a run.
Chasing 239 to win, the score set by Aldbourne, thanks to an 108 not out from Nick Lawson, we set off with purpose, Andrew and Jon putting on 51 for the first wicket, well ahead of the required run rate. Unfortunately after that we struggled, Andrew reached 50 off 79 balls in 78 minutes and was finally out for 90. The rest you know.
Aldbourne 238 for 8
Angus Gourlay 9o 1m 31r 1w, Micky Gray 8o 1m 46r 2w, Tom Payne 7o 1m 50r 1w (Well done Tom, the first of many wickets to come), Josh Payn 6o 1m 23r 1w, Steve Ware 4o 0m 39r 0w, Chris Burton 4o 0m 40r 2w, Andrew Ware 1o 0m 3r 1w.

Oh, the indoor season will be starting soon. if interested in playing during the winter contact Andrew or Steve.
v Ipplepen on Sun 4th Sept 2016
The penultimate game of the season saw us travel to Ipplepen, yet another day with drops of rain. Batting first we stuttered to 164 all out, Fiz scored 55 and the old brigade put on 17, the best for the season, for the last wicket, with 10 coming from the oldest batsman.
After some earlier wickets, Fiz took a wicket and retired the new batsman with some broken fingers, unfortunately that was where our look ran out, the two remaining batsman scored the winning runs with 10 overs to spare.
Mt Edgcumbe 164 all out
Andrew Ware 28, Ben Hutson 16, F Abdullah 55, Angus Gourlay 1, George Williams 14, Rob Lock 13, Clive Holding 10, Oli Woodall 1, Steve Ware 10, PAashrik 0, Rob De Viell 3*

Double Header Weekend
The first of this weekends matches, saw us entertain the touring side Southwell Ramblers, on a day that started wet, but by the time of the start was blustery with sun and light showers, although only one shower forced a rain interruption during the game.
Batting first the visitors got off to a good start, putting on over 80 for the first wicket. but with a good spell of bowling from Clive Holding, returning figures of 5 for 15 and two late wickets from Rob Lock, we restricted the visitors to 175.
With the exception of a quick 27 from Marc Wright, batting was a case of supporting Jon Cummings, who finished on 81, with 6th and 7th wickets stands of 48 with Dave Shattock and 38 with Geoff Husband. We eventually ran out of overs so the game was drawn with us finishing on 159 for 8.
Thanks to Richard for providing the where for alls for the teas and to Linda and Donna (How do you use so many dishcloths, towels and tea towels?) for preparing them.
Southwell Ramblers 175 all out
Angus Gourlay 8o 0m 19r 0w, Rob Lock 10o 2m 52r 3w, Andrew Ware 6o 0m 42r 1w, Clive Holding 8o 3m 15r 5w, Charlie Coates 4o 0m 11r 1w, Marc Wright 4o 0m 24r 1w.

The second game saw us entertain Exeter Erratics, again a day with interruptions for rain and a late finish and the second lock in of the weekend, no, not the pub! The park gates get locked at 8pm, fortunately we have bumped into the ranger who has let us out.
Batting first our innings focused around Andy’s 131*, support came from Angus (21) and Mike (23) a new PB, in stands of 59 and 76 respectively. Andy reached fifty with a six off a no ball, and his century off 118 balls with a six. Having reach 100 he then scored another 30 off 9 balls before retiring. Having retired once before and lost the game, he said he wouldn’t do it again! You can guess what is coming.
A total of 217 was not enough to defend as it turned out, with the opposition reaching 218 with a bye off the first ball of the last over. Andy will never retire again, well maybe!
Mount Edgcumbe 217 for 5
Andrew Ware 131*, Ben Hutson 16 (well he was top of the averages for a day and a bit), Wes Tunbridge 6, Angus Gourlay 21, Michael Payn 23, Graham Visick 1, Rob Lock 4 *, John Singlehurst 0*, DNB Josh Payn, Tom Payn and Tim Burke.

No Game next weekend, enjoy your bank holidays.
Contact Andrew if available for either of the two remaining games in September. 4th away to Ipplepen and the 11th home to Aldbourne. Note the earlier start times of these two games.
v Holbeton 14 August 2016
A good win against an under strength Holbeton side saw Ben score his second century of the season, and then promptly retire to protect his average! Contributions from Andy, Marc, and Steve, supporting Ben saw us reach 242 for eight and we then bowled out the opposition for sixty.
Ben’s century came off 95 balls in 121 minutes, with Steve scoring 42 off 40 balls. The bowlers enjoyed themselves, picking up cheap wickets, non cheaper than George’s 2 for nothing off 5 overs. A guest appearance from Adrian Stearnes, saw him giving the opposition half their runs off the bat in his five overs. More practice needed Adrian, see you next week?
An apology and thanks to Mike and Cecilia for last weeks teas, and the donation of a ball from Adrian. Richard and friends raised about £150 from the car boot sale last weekend, which is a great boost for the Roof fund. Thanks to those who donated, but there was sixty odd of you out there who need to try harder.
Contact Andy if you are available to play this Friday or Sunday, both games at home. Only two games remain after that away to Ipplepen and home to Aldbourne, claim your places.

v Old Sutts on Sun 7th August 2016
A drawn match thanks to the Payn’s and Angus holding on at the end. Good bowling restricted Old Sutts to 155 for 9, but we found batting as difficult. Ben scored another 50 off 67 balls including a third wicket stand of 72 with Andy.

Match Report v Cheesewring Sun 31 July 2016
A good win against Cheesewring, with what on paper looked a strong batting line up. However a steady 30 from Rob W and 17 from Barry J, a lively 42 from Jon C and an explosive 28 off 12 balls near the end from Fiz, saw us reach 170 off the 40 overs. Wickets were shared and fell early and regularly as Cheesewring were all out for 60, giving a 110 run victory. Angus G picked up 3 wickets but 3 for 3 from Fiz was the best return.
Mount Edgcumbe 170 for 8
A Ware 13, Rob Way 30, Marc Wright 8, Jon Cummings 42, Ben Hutson 0, Dan Picarieloo 2, Barry James 17, Firzan Abdullah 28*, Angus Gourley 2, Ali Bukhsh 1*, Dave Shattock DNB.
Cheesewring 60 all out
Angus Gourlay 8o 3m 22r 3w, Ali Bukhsh 8o 1m 22r 2w, Firzan Abdullah 4o 1m 3r 3w, Dan Picarieloo 3.3o 1m 7r 2w
Oh, Dave Shattock wanted a good write up! But I didn’t receive the backhander. So, I can’t remember what he did apart from a long stint of umpiring, during which we lost a wicket off the seventh ball of and over! Its team game.
Let Andy know your availability for the remaining games, the first of which sees us at home to Old Suttonians on Sunday. If playing or coming to support us, allow more time for travelling as the Classic Car Show is in the park.
Tour 2016
Cricket Tour 2016
Expect you are wondering where I was, well apologies, but I have been busy. Another glorious 4 days around Bath, playing cricket and basking in the beautiful sunny weather, I wish. Friday was particularly chilly and we were all wrapped up as though it was April not the Middle of July!
I am also disappointed with my trainee scorer, having taught him all I knew over two and a half games. I left him to complete the last 3 overs of our final innings, as I had to go out and bat, only to return to the minimal amount of info having been recorded. How long was my innings, how many balls did I face, did I run on a bye or a leg bye, what were the stands of the 9th and 10th wicket partnerships? But thanks for volunteering Steve, I see I still have a lot of training to do!
A defeat against Box, losing 2 wickets in the first over and 2 more in the 5th, we recovered to 118 for 5, thanks to Gary’s 75 and Steve’s 32, however another collapse saw us trying to defend 144. Two quick wickets gave us hope and although we got another, by sending him to hospital with a top edge into the face, an undefeated ton brought the game to an early finish.
A cold day at Westerleigh saw me wearing a fluorescent yellow boiler suit to try and stay warm, cheers Ken. An opening partnership of 90 saw Ken completing a 50, ably supported by Ben 37 and Dave 38 and although George hit 31, we lost our way over the latter overs finishing on 196. Well we shouldn’t have worried, our Westerleigh guesting player came to the rescue, taking a catch to dismiss the opener and picking up 4 wickets when he came on to bowl. Thanks Matt.
The final game saw us travel east to Ramsbury to play Aldbourne, and the sun came out for the first time to remind us what tours have previously been like. Fifty from Andy, scores of 37 from Tom, 27 Gary and 44 from Ben, got us off to a good start, but a final total of 207 was never going to be enough when some of their batsmen started hitting out. Andy had three catches and Rob three wickets, but they would have probably traded them for another bowler or two and younger fielders to chase the ball around. Peter performed admirably behind the stumps only conceding 1 bye and Ken finished a good spell with 2 for 35 off his 10 overs. Although the game was close, they hit the winning runs with 6 balls to spare.
As per usual a good time was had by all with Steve retaining the golf trophy and the unheard of! The New Inn had a makeover, with first floor dining and a roof terrace. Rose asked after and passes on her regards to Steve Ware and John Dalton, and if you took photos let me have them so I can create a new album on the website.
Match Report v Yelverton 10 July 2016
Thanks to Richard for organising the car boot in the near future, don’t forget to contact him asap if you have any items for collection for the sale. Thanks also for Richard securing a new three gang mower for the club, unfortunately Andrew has snapped the cutter drive chain, so a slight setback. It has also wiped out our contingency fund.
The Roof fund has crept over £300 thanks again to all who has contributed, If anyone wants to organise a Roof Fund raising event, let me know and I will advertise it, or all donations will still be accecpted.
Thanks to our match ball sponsor, John Fearon, Vice President and Wes, his wife and their neighbour for the generous tea on Sunday.
All this preamble to the match report unsurprisingly means there is not a lot to report. Andy failed with his batting, with a mere 15 runs and surprise, surprise we were all out for 101. Chasing 207 to win Rob Way top scored with 26 and Chris and Josh improved their personnel best, but were unable to play out the remaining overs to earn a draw.

v Menheniot 3 July 2016
Rob Lock claims he scored the winning run and the scorecard seems dominated by the names Payn and Ware.
Thanks to John Stainfield, Vice President, for sponsoring the match ball and Ben, Vicky and Ben’s Mum for the tea.
Four catches by Rich, two stumpings by Andy, a catch apiece by Josh and Michael, four wickets for Rich and two for Josh. give the Payn’s and Ware’s 14 of the twenty entries on the scorecard. others did play honestly.
With Menheniot bowled out for 120, Andy and Rob Way opened the batting and Andy was dropped off the first ball and a later one but survived for an opening partnership of 56 before Rob departed for 25. Cruising at 93 for 3 the famous Mt Edgcumbe collapse occurred and on 112 for 7 Rob Lock came to the crease. Lucky to survive the first four balls, he really did score 6 off two balls to win the game, long may it continue.

v Cheesewring 19 July 2016
A day away from the summer solstice and two days away from the longest day, the only winner on Sunday was the wet weather.
No game next week, so contact Andrew with your availability for July. First game at home to Menheniot on Sun 3 July.
Chris if you can arrange for the July fixture to go on the House Facebook page and anything else, that would be great, thanks.
The Roof Fund is still a way short of its target and the generous donations have started to dry up. So over to the fund raising events organisers. It can be anything; car boot, BBQ, sponsorship (get your family to sponsor the runs and wickets you get), draws or raffles.
The outfield cutter is not behaving this year as well and our mechanic has run out of ideas, temporarily of course. so more expense expected.
v Entertainers 12 May 2016
Wickets for all bowlers except, Mike, limited the opposition to 142, but openers Andrew and Ben both got fifties to see us win the game by ten wickets. Although Andrew did have to play out a maiden with the score on 140 to allow Ben to get his. Their fifties came off 44 balls for Andrew and 68 balls for Ben, and their averages are pretty impressive as well Ben 174 and Andrew 148.67. Will they let anyone else bat? lets hope not.

Reports Wombats and Newton Poppleford
WOMBATS
Some good bowling, two fifties, a lovely warm sunny afternoon and a victory, what more could you ask for.
Batting first Wombats were all out for 144, even though several chances were put down, my fault. Angus picked up two, it could have been three, John, three, Adam three, it could have been four, and Ali two.
Andrew got his fifty in 57 balls (70 mins), bringing up his fifty with a six, but was out next ball when he tried to repeat the shot, Adam’s fifty came in 59 balls ( 71 mins), and were the backbone of the innings. Angus tried to hit all the balls he faced over square leg, succeeding for the first two to pick up singles, but was bowled off the third attempt.
Welcome to Barry and John, and todays match sponsor was Rob De Viell.

NEWTON POPPLEFORD
A late switch of opposition and venue saw us travelling to Newton Poppleford for yesterday’s match. A game containing 445 runs, with the winning run being scored in the eightieth over, unfortunately it wasn’t us scoring that run. Batting first we steadily scored runs putting on 156 for the first wicket, before Andrew retired after reaching his first century of the season. He was ably supported by Rob Way who was finally out for 40. The middle order, with the exception of Mike, 24, failed to boost the total as much as we hoped.
A target of 223 to win was set, and when Rob Lock took a wicket with the first ball we hoped for more to follow, but the opposition had other ideas and attacked the bowling and kept the target in reach all the way through their innings. The only bowler to return decent figures was Luke Dennis, who finished his eight overs with two maidens, two wickets for 14 runs. The winning run came in the last over from the last man to come to the crease who scored 25 runs off 10 balls to win the game for Newton Poppleford.
Mount Edgcumbe 222 for 6

v Philanthropists 22 May 2016
A tricky day for batting, but two batsmen one from each side dominated the scoring for their respective teams. Batting first we struggled to 166 for 4 at tea, Andrew carrying his bat to finish on 88* in 148 minutes.
Good bowling initially from Angus, Chris and Josh, put the batting side under pressure, but a fine knock of 89 always kept the outcome in doubt, but 4 wickets from George at the end, cumulating in the final wicket of M Charlick for a 26 run victory. Welcome to Oli and David, who didn’t get an opportunity, this time, to show us what they could do, your chances will come.

v Fortescue on Sunday 15 May 2016
On a sunny afternoon at Barrow Park it was good to see some faces for the first time this year, just hope their muscles and injuries are not too bad as we want them to play again soon.
Four wickets apiece for George and Tim, restricted Fortescue to 90 all out. Chris with only one wicket, persevered after being hit for 20 runs off one over to claim the wicket.
Batting was easy, except for Steve who had to retire injured after the first ball without facing. Richard scored fifty off 84 balls and 79 mins, possibly a record itself.
A nine wicket win, with Pete keeping tidily with only one bye and a smart catch behind.

Match Reports
v Cavendish Cavaliers 24 April 2016
A good win this weekend, a few records probably made or beaten, but they still need verification.
Batting first the openers put on 171 for the first wicket, Andy reaching 50 off 59 balls and Ben reaching 100 off 102 balls. Although a steady start, acceleration came between overs 22 and 30 with the score racing from 117 to 206. Matt missed the opportunity only scoring 12, as did batsmen no. 6 and lower. We declared at tea with a target set of 271 for the opposition to win.
They didn’t get off to the best of starts, the first three batsmen dismissed for nought, without a run coming off the bat. They didn’t really recover and were all out for 54, with almost half the runs, 25, coming in extras. Definitely room for improvement there. Chris had the best bowling return of 3 for 6
A victory by 216 runs.

v PCS Roborough 17 April 2016
After last weeks false start the season got under way this week with a match against PCS Roborough. On a typical damp early season wicket, batting was difficult, only Andy and George making double figures. We eventually declared at tea on 111 for 9, not nearly enough runs you would think!
In reply their striking of the ball was crisper and although we took wickets steadily, they ran out winners by 6 wickets. George best of the bowlers, returning 3 for 23, man of the match perhaps?
Welcome to Chris, the new man and Angus got himself out, literally, by hitting his own wicket. We can only hope for better fortune next week.
Andrew Ware (Electrical Services) sponsored the match this week with the donation of a ball, if anyone else would be interested in doing something similar, let me know.
