Fillongley Cricket Club

Fillongley 207-8, Atherstone 197 all out

 We came out on top in another see-saw game with Atherstone this afternoon. As far as I can remember it’s the first time we’ve beaten them, but for much of the day it didn’t look like it was going to happen. Continue reading Adders Azzered

The start time for the match at Bretforton on Sunday is 1pm.

Handsworth shedloads, Fillongley 209 all out

A report with a difference today because I wasn’t there most of the time. That doesn’t stop anyone else though. We have some excuse because the sicknotes came in thick and fast over the week. Not much bowling really. Dave Slade and Junior have 57 between them compared to our bowlers today who shared ten before the game.

This meant the toss mattered and it was Handsworth who won it and started hitting to all parts. Dawkins made 175 with 22 fours and eight sixes and Anton Johnson, who batted very well against us last year, made 65. They have a crop of useful young players and must be contenders this season. For us JC and Reg took the score to 42 in 4 overs but then wickets fell regularly and it became a scramble for bonus points. Kyle Taylor and Phil put on 63 for the sixth wicket, with Kyle making 19. It was all over though with 4 overs remaining. Seven points wasn’t too bad all considered!

Thanks to Louise Barber for scoring. An excellent job despite there not being enough space in the runs column for more than 400!
