Colts 2021 Review & Even More Summer Cricket!

-

Thank you!
With today being the last day of the NECC 2021 Colts Summer Programme, we must take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who has made it such a great success. Notable mentions must go to our Colts' parents and guardians; our coaches, Matt and Iain; our Chairman and Safeguarding Officer, Mark and our assistant coaches, Nico and Josh. However, most importantly, the biggest thanks must go to the Colts themselves who have been the heart and soul of the endeavour.

We have hosted a total of 38 Colts through the 9 weeks with an average of 25 turning up to every session; it has been a great and fun summer of Cricket.
We hope everyone has enjoyed themselves and we look forward to seeing you again next year when we will hopefully have a full calendar of both soft and hardball sessions.

But that does not mean there are not some fantastic opportunities to continue to play cricket through August and beyond! We will leave you with a selection below along with our best wishes from NECC.

As part of our commitment to ensuring that our Colts have the ability to continue playing and enjoying cricket beyond our summer programme, we have been developing our relationships with two excellent clubs in the area. Both are running great camps over the coming weeks and the details are as follows:

Match report: Trinity Oxley

-
It was time for our last away game of the season, travelling to Trinity Oxley. On a very hot day, it was very welcome news that when Trinity won the toss and elected to bowl first. We opened the batting with Josh Pizey and Gideon getting us off to a good start. Paul came in at three and started to score to put us at a good position at drinks. While we started to lose wickets, Paul was staying there and eventually made another 50 to add to his season runs. Paul was then joined by Lee and together they had a great partnership to get us to a good position. Paul eventually being run out. With the Exiles on a competitive score, Lee was joined by Charlie with three overs to go. Lee finished on a fine 48, bring the exiles to 190. Charlie and Leon opened the bowling and after two overs the exiles had Trinity Oxley 0-2 and we were off to a great start. The opening spell got us into the game and with good bowling from Aaron and Gideon meant that the game was always competitive. As the ga...

Match report: SW United

It was another home game, this time we welcomed SW United to the lakes, where there was one boundary you could defend for 6, the other boundary was a massive 6. Classic Sunday Cricket! The Exiles batted first and there was a few quick wickets, while at the other end, Paul stuck in and a mixture of some good shots and some impressive drops, meant he stayed in and made some vital runs. He was then joined at the crease by Luke who was due a big score and did not disappoint, playing beautifully and with some lovely shots, moving to his second 50 of the year! Some contributions by Josh Pizey,Charlie, and a fine innings late by Leon meant that we reached he total score of 179. While this was not an ideal score, it gave the bowlers a chance. We started our innings with the two Joshes getting us off to a good start bowling very tightly and with Josh Pizey picking up two fine wickets. Another day, it could have been Josh Smith getting multiple wickets. After the two Joshes it was tim...

Match report: Paddintgton Rabbits

Sunday brought Plastics XI to the Lakes for an Exiles home game. On a week where the forecast was terrible for Sunday all week, it was a pleasant surprise to see most of the day looking clear.  After a quick roll of the wicket from part time groundsman Aidan, Charlie won the toss and elected to bat first taking in to account the thought of the wicket getting worse as the game went on and helped along by the Ed having to leave at 5pm... It was back to the lakes for the Visit of Paddington Rabbits, It was a first game for the rabbits at the lakes after playing them at Paddington last year. With Charlie out for this week, Luke was captain for the game and as he walked out for the toss there was an Exiles first. With the Opposition Captain Jack Cooper also being our newly crowned Player of the Year for 2021! Sunday cricket at its finest! Luke won the toss and elected to Bat and opened with Paul and got of to a good start until Luke got a ball that didn’t want to bounce and was unlucky...
