Rain Plays Havoc With Club Cricket Programme

16 July 2012

With the bad weather showing no sign of relenting, club cricketers were again frustrated this weekend as several matches around England were cancelled.

In the Middlesex County Cricket League, only one match - that between Acton and Brentham - got underway, the match ending in a draw.

Brentham closed on 87 for nine after Acton were bowled out for 129.

It was an even worse situation in the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League, where no play was possible at all throughout the 14 leagues.

There was at least plenty of play in the John Smith's North Lancashire and Cumbria League, where Cockermouth's lead over Furness was cut to just three points.

Cockermouth could only manage a draw against Workington and Furness took advantage by beating Millom by six wickets.

Luis Reece The Early Leader Of Cricket World Club MVPs

Lancashire, Leeds/Bradford MCCU and Unicorns all-rounder Luis Reece is the early leader of the Cricket World Most Valuable Player Overall Ratings. With the early rounds of the 2013 club cricket season completed and most players, at least in the northern leagues, having played the minimum number of three matches to qualify for an appearance in the ratings, the 22 year-old has emerged as the stand-out player.

Manningham Mills Take Over Top Spot

Manningham Mills are the new leaders of the JCT 600 Bradford League First Division after gaining maximum points as they beat Baildon by 88 runs at Scotchman Road. Opener Adal Islam was top scorer against his old club with 80 not out in Mills' formidable total of 264-5.

Jonny Moxon Plays Starring Role For York

Jonny Moxon, son of Yorkshire's Director of Cricket, Martyn Moxon, played a key role with his pace bowling in York’s seven home win against Doncaster Town. Opener Simon Widdup and James Stuart put together a third wicket stand of 147 as Doncaster totalled 221-8 with Widdup hitting 11 fours and two sixes in his 101 while Stuart struck seven fours and two sixes in his innings of 71, Moxon taking 4-34.

Wet Weekend In North Lancs And Cumbria League

In scenes reminiscent of 2012, the entire programme in the North Lancashire and Cumbria Premier and First Divisions was washed out this weekend. The lack of action means that Haverigg (61), Furness (54) and Cleator (50) lead the way at the top of the Premier Division while in the First Division, Egremont are on top with 63 points, Cletaor II are six points behind and Cockermouth II have 54 points in third place.

Slow Start To Saracens Hertfordshire League

There were no positive results in the opening weekend of the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League but Totteridge Milhillians sit on top of the table with 17 points. Old Finchleians come next with 16 and St Albans are third with 11.

Finchley, Teddington Set Early Middlesex Pace

Teddington and Finchley top the early 2013 Middlesex ECB Premier League after winning their opening matches against Richmond and Eastcote. Eastcote were subsequently docked 10 points for fielding an understrength team, which nevertheless only went down by one wicket.
