TESTIMONIALS
MATCH REPORTS
On Thursday 6th May 2010, the new Captain, Robert Gurney, and his wife, Samantha, kindly invited the membership of WNCC to a pre-season drinks party at Bawdeswell Hall. The aim was to start the season with a Club get together for young and old. We have a new influx of talented young cricketers.
With 9 players on the morning of the match, I was consolled by the knowledge that WNCC perform well with a reduced number of players. When the side was boosted by Hugh “threequarters” Waters half way through their innings, things looked up.
Rolled over by Greshams
On paper the side was so strong that the the match manager retired from duty (after a vote of no confidence in his keeping from the club captain).
A day when the record books were broken, with the aggregate score of 389 being the highest ever recorded at Salle.
Marcus Seaman managed to assemble 13 players – with the half being under 25 years old* (and also old Uppinghamians OU’s).
