The sun shone throughout the OC Cricket Week and despite the now usual cry-offs and inability of some to manage their lives we managed five wins, one draw and one loss.
Eds Copleton, not able to hide his pleasure that the week was over, said: “Lulu made some fantastic lunches and we drew in some big crowds as the weather warmed up. In all 38 players appeared, ranging from 13 years old through to 49.
The cricket week batting award went to Chris Pyle, who fell 60 short of Iain Wilkie’s famous cricket week run record of 433 set in 1990. The bowling award went to Zan Copleston, who took 6 for 50 on debut against a strong Hurst batting line up at the ripe old age of 13. The all rounder award went to our new social sec, Hugo Puddle, who was effervescent both on and off the field.
Eds deserves a special thank you for the hundreds (literally) of phone calls he made to get XIs out.
