September 2005

August 2005

With one week of the League schedule to go, both the First and Second Saturday sides have secured promotion, to divisions one and four respectively.

The First team won by 5 wickets away to Olney, whilst the Second team won at home to Eaton Bray by 51 runs, in what were both 2nd vs 3rd place matches that both went Winslow's way.

Next week, the first team are at home to Edlesborough, whilst the Second team are away to Markyate, with the possibility still remaining of both Winslow sides being winners of their respective divisions.

July 2005

Winslow Town Cricket Club have won the George Blow Cup by beating Maids Moreton in a closely contested Final on Friday 8th July, at Marsh Gibbon. 

Set a total of 112 by Maids Moreton, Winslow reached their target on the first ball of the final over, with James Gaskins top scoring with an excellent 45.  A full match report can be found here.

A fine achievement by a youthful Winslow midweek side.

June 2005

The "A" team did very well and only lost two games, one of which was against Winslow "B", and the other being the first game of the day against Bledlow. 

The "B" team went one better and one all five of their league games and had already qualified for the final when they had to play Winslow "A" in the final pool game. Much then depended on the result between Westbury and Whitchurch as to whether Winslow "A" would qualify for the final. Winslow "A" had a run rate of 87 after their pool games and Westbury were on 54 before their game against Whitchurch, which meant Westbury needed in excess of 250 runs to qualify - a tall order! Westbury managed to push their run rate up to 70, but this was not enough and for the first time in the clubs junior section history, Winslow had two teams in the final.

The final was played in quite a relaxed manner and the players were able to express themselves with some excellent all-round performances, being that "Winslow" was going to win.

In the end Winslow "B" came out winners by some 30 runs.  Both teams and supporting parents (of which yet again we had the greatest support) were a credit to themselves and Winslow Town Cricket Club. This can only bode well for the future - well done to all.

May 2005

Following the AGM on 10th January, the Club Officials and Captains pages have been updated to reflect the new appointments.

Mike Callaghan has been elected as Club Captain, whilst Kevin Middleton joins the committee as an elected club member.

The position of Secretary has become vacant, as is the position of Sports Club Representative.  Please contact us if you are interested in filling either of the two vacant positions.  

**Update** Pete Arnold has stepped forward to fill the vacant position of Secretary.

All four team captains remain from last season, but new vice-captains for 2005 are Glyn Davies (Saturday 1st XI), Tim Treadwell (Saturday 2nd XI) and Paul Stolworthy (Sunday XI). 

October 2004

After a splendid meal, Chairman Dave Dale and President Dave Rowlands conducted the trophy presentations.  In the order of how they were presented...

Paul Stolworthy collected the 2nd XI Batting Cup (249 runs at an average of 35.57).  Marcus Sales was a close runner up with 301 runs at an average of 33.44.  Kevin Saving was the winner of the 2nd XI Bowling Cup (15 wickets at an average of 13.80), with Jamie Litherland (in his first season for the club) finishing runner up with 14 wickets at an average of 16.71.  The 2nd XI Fielding Cup was collected by Dave Marshall.

In a fairly unique double, Paul Stolworthy also collected the 1st XI Batting Cup (512 runs at an average of 39.38).  In close contention was Glyn Davies (556 runs at an average of 34.75, and finished 7th in the League Batting averages).  Kieran Price amassed a very grand total of 824 runs in Sunday games, but didn't quite have a sufficient number of innings to qualify.

Fenton Price was the winner of the 1st XI Bowling Cup, taking 36 wickets at an average of 15.53.  Pete Gibbard was runner up, taking 25 wickets at an average of 19.04.  Kevin McAndrew retained the 1st XI Fielding Cup.

The Trophy for the Performance of the Season went to Pete Gibbard who returned bowling figures of 10-5-10-6 against North Crawley on 15th May.  Marcus Sales collected the Colts Trophy, whilst the Presidents Trophy was once again presented to Dave Dale.

The 2nd XI Player of the Season Cup was awarded jointly to Marcus Sales and Dave Marshall, whilst Fenton Price completed his hat-trick by being awarded the 1st XI Player of the Season Trophy and the Players Player of the Year Trophy, an award voted for on the night by all players in attendance.

In addition, Graham Eccles made a special presentation to Dave Dale to thank him for his outstanding efforts on the ground this year, and a collection from all the players bought a selection of bottles of red wine for Dave.

Many thanks once again go to Pete Taylor and all for organising the event.

August 2004

July 2004

Unfortunately Amersham proved too good on the day, beating Winslow by 7 wickets [match report], but nevertheless this was an excellent achievement to reach a County Final.

July 2004

The full scorecard and match report can be viewed here.

Also, on the same evening (but a different match), Simon Myatt returned excellent match figures of 3-3-0-6 against Ivinghoe & Pitstone Under 13s.  

June 2004

Winslow Under 10's played in a very close and exciting 6-a-side tournament on the same day, eventually losing to Kimble by 1 run in the final. Everybody in the squad played their part, with everybody taking wickets, catches and batting magnificently. Squad members were James Barker, Alex O'Dell, Jonathon Piper, James Cook, Jake Derry, James Underwood and Ben Cheal.

June 2004

This beats the current record of 158, previously held by Fenton Price (we believe they're related).

June 2004

June 2004

Glyn Davies and Fenton Price have smashed the record 8th wicket partnership in the league game away to New Bradwell on 29th May, with a superb unbeaten stand of 137.

New Bradwell scored a total of 308, and at one stage it looked like being an early finish until Price joined Davies at the wicket, where they remained until the end of the drawn match, with Winslow finishing on a respectable 206, gaining maximum batting points.

The previous record was 74 held by Nigel Norman and Neil Harries (Away to Wendover), that has stood since June 1990.

Kieran Price, in his first year in the first team confirmed his outstanding season by collecting the 1st XI Batting Cup and 1st XI Player of the Season trophies.  Graham Eccles collected the first of his three trophies by collecting the 1st XI Bowling Cup.

The second eleven saw Ron Phillips and Ron Durrant rolling back the years taking the 2nd XI Batting and Bowling cups respectively.  The two ronnies proving that there is no substitute for experience.  Second team Skipper Dave Marshall collected the 2nd XI Player of the Season.

This year saw the addition of the 2nd XI Fielding Trophy, and Marcus Sales is the proud first recipient of this cup for his fine efforts in the field this season.  Kevin McAndrew receives the First XI Fielding Cup.

Graham Eccles received the award for the Performance of the Season for his magnificent display against Old Bradwell - with the innings wilting at 35-4, a typically hard-hit knock of 87 runs (including many sixes) was complemented by superb bowling figures of 6 wickets for 21 runs.

The Colts Trophy went to Jonathon Waugh who has performed excellently all season, and Graham Eccles rounded his night off by collecting the award for the Players Player of the Season, a trophy voted for on the night itself.

Hat-trick Weekend

July 2003

In the league game against Newport Pagnell, skipper Pete Gibbard took three in three balls, though no one (with the exception of our diligent scorer Corinne Price) noticed until the innings had finished, owing to the hat-trick being spread out over two overs.

Not to be outdone, on Sunday Kieran Price had already bagged a couple of wickets coming up to the end of Long Marston's innings, when he decided that tea was overdue and promptly took a hat-trick to finish the innings, all clean bowled, to take his tally to five wickets.

Dinner & Dance Trophy Presentations

October 2002

As well as taking away the 1st Team Batting Cup and Player of the Season, Glyn also picked up the award for performance of the season for his knock of 102 against Tring (Herbie was a close second for his bowling figures of 6-34 against Drayton Parslow) and finally he received the Players Player of the Season award, narrowly beating Kieran Price.

Kieran emulated Glyn's feat for the second team, taking the Batting Cup and Player of the Season for the two's. For good measure, Kieran also picked up the Colts Trophy, though young Adam Bone deserves a mention here for his fine efforts throughout the season.

Confirmation of a fine season for the club was backed up by the presentation of plates to both Glyn and Kieran for scoring over a 1,000 runs each for the club this season, Glyn amassing a remarkable 1,323 runs and Kieran notching up a grand total of 1,061 runs. It's always nice to see the opposition chasing the ball round the park, and this year they did a lot of chasing.

The 1st Team and 2nd Team Bowling Cups were won by Pete Gibbard and Fenton Price respectively, both bowlers never giving much away and always picking up wickets along the way.

The Fielding Cup was retained by Kevin McAndrew, and the Presidents Trophy was presented by Graham Eccles to Dave Dale, for all his efforts this year as Chairman, in addition to the fine work with the various Colts sides.

Thanks should go to Glyn Davies and Graham Eccles who did a marvellous job of organising another successful Dinner and Dance, pictures of which can be viewed by clicking here.

On a slightly different subject, the Club Honours page has been updated to reflect the seasons achievements, as has the Trophy Holders page.

Final League Standings 2002

August 2002

After 3rd placed promotion contenders Walton & Simpson somehow managed to succeed in their appeal over a cancelled game earlier in the season, Winslow found themselves moving down a place to third place, meaning that in order to gain promotion, a win was required, whilst hoping that our rivals didn't do the same.

Winslow went on to a comfortable win against Drayton Parslow, and then it was all down to hoping that league winners North Crawley held out against Walton and Simpson.  Thanks go to Dave Dale who provided a regular update of the other game throughout the day - it all came down to Walton and Simpson needing 1 more wicket with 1 over to go, and North Crawley held out!  Confirmation of this was greeted with scenes of grown men hugging, followed later on by much drinking.

Meanwhile, the second eleven made light work of their opponents Stewkley, with a fine 96 wicket win to finish the season in 5th place.  A full scorecard and match report can be found on the fixtures pages.

From being in a position where relegation was a real possibility, the second half of the season has seen a positive run of results, and in the end 5th place was comfortable, narrowly missing out by a few points on 4th spot.

The final league tables are as follows:

Winslow lose out in Midweek League Shield Final

July 2002

But on the same night, Winslow were presented with the Buckingham and District Midweek League Division 1 Trophy - click here to see some pictures.

Thanks to all those who came to Great Horwood and cheered us on. 

Midweek Success

July 2002

Skipper Glyn Davies will now lead Winslow into the final of the League Shield competition, after beating Fringford by 57 runs on Monday (15th July).  Winslow will play Thornborough again in the Final, to be played at Great Horwood on Monday 22nd July.

These wins follow the disappointment a few weeks ago where Winslow lost out to Buckingham Twyford in the final of the Advertiser Cup.  The treble was not to be, but the chance of the double still stands.

Winslow reach Advertiser Cup Final

June 2002

The final, against Twyford, takes place at Buckingham's ground on Monday 1st July - please come along and support us if you can.

Results

May 2002

The following day, stand-in captain Dermot 'Dodge' Callaghan led the Sunday side to it's 4th consecutive victory, away to Stokenchurch, chasing a target of 245, Winslow reached the target with the loss of 4 wickets.

Details of these results can be found in the fixtures pages, where you can also see details of some matches played by our various youth sides, the most recent of which was a fine 8 wicket win by the Under 15's against MK City last Thursday (16th May).  

We hope to provide as many results, scorecards and match reports as we can throughout the season, though many of these will not appear in the news pages - please regularly check the fixtures pages for the latest results.

Pictures Page Updated

May 2002

The pictures page has been updated with some pictures taken at our game at home against North Crawley.  Thanks to Mike Ellis for these.

Flying Start to the Season!

May 2002

Batting first, Winslow scored 172 for 9, with Glyn hitting 96 of these.  Buckingham replied with 133 all out, resulting in victory for Winslow by 39 runs.

Click here for a match report, written by some bloke going by the name of Elliot Marsh. Very poetic.
