Rascals vs. Northiam - 12th Sept 2010
A welcome sunny day greeted those who sank a few at the Rose and Crown prior to the game. Northiam¹s pitch looked its usual lovely self and was host to a timed game, with 20 overs after 5.30. They won the toss and put us in to bat. Generally this was agreed as a poor start!
Sadly Eddie was to be caught at gully ‘early doors’ for 6, but PK and George Berthon (welcome home George) soon got the ball rolling. George hit the six of the day into West Sussex, but was out soon after having knocked up 23. PK was looking set for his fifty, but was caught on 37. Both the Skipper and debutant James Collier also looked in good touch but failed to crack on to their half centuries. Therefore, when our last wicket fell in the 37th over, we were probably 40 odd runs light with a total of only 140. We also had to accept a fair amount of luck with a handful of dropped catches helping us even that far.
From the outset Northiam looked solid. The top three batsman made good totals with Duffield going to carry his bat on 46. Our score was surpassed after 30 overs and the loss of just three wickets. We too were guilty of dropping catches but credit must go to Robin Todd and Eddie Skilbeck who both bowled extremely well and delayed the Northiam victory by some margin. Robin bowled 9 overs, picking up 2 wickets for 36 runs and Eddie bowled an excellent 5 overs, with two maidens, one wicket for the loss of only ten runs!
Northiam showed their customary generosity in the Rose and Crown after the game and despite a small debacle involving Robin’s wilful Audi A4 (aka KIT), a grand time was had by all.
God Bless,
The Chairman

Rascals V's The Chelsea Arts Club (Score Book & Match Report)
There was a delayed start due to, unusually, the opposition being waylaid in the pub; much to the delight of the Rascals members who found themselves with an excuse for the third pint. CAC won the toss and elected to bat.
After four overs they were 37 without loss and moving well. However, all seven bowlers who were given the opportunity for the Rascals did well and combined with some excellent fielding, notably Jamie Flint's outrageous catch to dismiss the eminently handy Alex Chamberlain,CAC were restricted to 137 runs at the end of their 32nd (yes an odd one) overs.
Tea requires little comment further than the ubiquitous superlatives,thanks to all involved. It was then up to Will Drew and Eddie Skilbeck to commence the chase and by golly did they do just that. When Eddie was bowled by Wighting, well into the innings, the opening partnership had soared to 95, with Eddie having made a commendable 54. Although Tarquin, at number 3, was somewhat less than successful, it was great to see Geoff Knight score some useful runs after his customary initial period of 'virtual cricket'.
We reached their total for the loss of only two wickets and with Will carrying his bat after a superb 52.
Eddie thinks it is possibly as long as ten years ago since we last beat CAC.
I shall confirm that with the post season debrief. Any road, well done you Rascals.
