1sts beat Saffron Walden but 2nds lose to Elsworth

The 1st Team did the double over struggling Saffron Walden III going four runs better than their 112 run victory over them earlier in the season. Craig Driver led the batting for Bar Hill hitting 70 as Bar Hill managed to post 201. He was supported by Phil Pelling (37) and Adam Dean (24) to set Saffron Walden a challenging target. In response, two wickets from Martin Cullum and three from Priyal Perera effectively ended the game as a contest as Saffron Walden slumped to 39 for 6. Scott Stanford then chipped in with a couple of quick wickets to bring the score to 44 for 8. Saffron Walden rallied but could only manage 85 before they were all out.

The 2nd team went to Elsworth II and came back defeated by 45 runs. Bar Hill started well enough reducing the home side to 43 for 4 thanks to three wickets from Martin Haslop. However, this seemed to spur Elsworth into a run spree as they put on another 135 for the loss of only two further wickets. Barry Driver took 3-49 to curtail the Elsworth scoring but Elsworth still managed to post 209. The Bar Hill run chase could not have started any worse as they lost both openers with only one run on the board. Good knocks from Paul Stimpson (55), Paul Sistig (40) and Martin Haslop (31) gave Bar Hill hope of chasing down the total but once those three were gone Bar Hill could not sustain the rate required and run out of wickets just before they ran out of overs with the score on 164.

2010 Presentation Evening

The 2010 Presentation evening will be held on 18th September at the Village Hall. Starfish will again be providing the music. Tickets will be £5 for adults and £2.50 for juniors and are on sale now.

Squad numbers

The full list of squad numbers is here. Any new members (and any existing members that have not got a squad number) that request one, will be allocated their choice of number on a first come, first served basis. Remember once a squad number has been allocated it will stay with that player until 12 months after they cease membership of the Club. To ensure uniformity of names/numbers on Club shirts the Club has negotiated a deal with Talking T's in Cambridge. The printing will cost £13.75 per shirt (reducing to £9.50 a shirt for three or more at the same time). All you need to do is go into Talking T's and ask for your name and number on your shirt with the Bar Hill Cricket Club template. The best thing to do is write your name and number (legibly!) on a piece of paper and pin it to your shirt to avoid any mix ups. Please note that you may only have your surname (and first initial, if wanted) on the back of your shirt (i.e. no nicknames).
