Earlestown Cricket Club
Gave the new Village Cricket Bat a really good go tonight (22/04/2025).
New high score! 67 off 47 balls.
Then caught behind from a big fat edge. 🤣
Bloxwich CC
Joined in the Village cricket birthday celebrations (16/7/22) by scoring 112 for Bloxwich CC (3rds) v Cannock CC (4ths). SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY LEAGUE Division 7
Uppingham Town CC
I haven’t played cricket for years apart from the odd game but as my son is now 14 and able to play league cricket I decided to get back involved this year. My first action was to buy one of your bats and I scored 51 the first time I used it! Absolutely over the moon.
RAM CC
Scored 63, 46 and 105* in 3 league matches so far this year with the Village Cricket Bat.
17/05/2025 - batted full 40 overs batting first and kept as wicket keeper for 40 overs. So it was 80 overs on the field on a nice sunny day
Exwick CC
Been playing for many years but had a high score of 49. Played last sunday in the same team as my 13 year old son and he scored a stirling 8 on debut. I managed to finally achieve a 50+ score of 55no whilst out in the middle with him, the shock was so much I didn't know how to celebrate!
Belgian Cricket League
I scored 81 runs from 79 balls with the Village Cricket Bat. 81 runs is my best score ever!
Iwerne Minster CC
We had our first match of the season on Sunday and whilst we only played 7 balls, we saved the life of our opening batsman when he had a cardiac arrest at the crease. CPR, a defibrillator, teamwork and the Dorset and Somerset air ambulance all saved him! Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Backworth CC
Started playing cricket again three weeks ago, after a twenty year break, first innings for the midweek team, in number 10, first ball bowled, two days later after some nets, 27* for a 65-run 9th wicket stand off the last five overs of a 40-over match. 200 was our aim, we got to 241 and won by 36 runs
Solihull United CC
Maiden knock with the VCC bat on a challenging surface - grafted 26 off 43 deliveries, finding the boundary five times. Encouraging signs from the willow; looking forward to building on this start.
Plymstock CC
Managed to play 2 games on a weekend for firs time in 10 years.
The Saturday Devon League game, scored 28 (after retiring injured for 1 wicket after a top edge to the nose!)
The Sunday South Devon League game, scored 53* to help win our first game in this league
The Passage CC
After 25 years away I asked about training with The Passage; captain Tom Higginson instead threw me straight into a friendly against strong Bloomsbury CC. Wanting to leave my comfort zone, I agreed. As everyone would bat and bowl, I opened my account: three overs faced, including one from “Full-Toss Shahin”. Bish—single, Bash—two more, Bosh—clean-bowled; three runs isn’t tragic.
Bowling next, a net session had tweaked my shoulder, but I still ambled in with medium-pace seamers, searching for swing. They nicked a couple, then POW! off-stump cartwheeling, bails flying—my wicket, the side’s only breakthrough. I was absurdly proud: after a quarter-century I’d dived back into a match, scored runs and taken a wicket. The price was a pulled pec, yet that’s a decent return for a 40-year-old.
