This page provides immediate access to the latest results for season 2010. The above links, and the navigation bar to the left of the screen, also make it possible to get at the running results and match reports for the other seasons since this web site has been in existence, as well as the results for the seasons back to 1959. Seasons prior to 1988 do not include information about individual performances since full scorebook details have not (yet??) been input to the database for those years.

The match reports page makes it possible to see the reports from all games in the current season, not just the current one in the section below. To get at the reports you can either select the link in the menu to the left, or indeed in the text above, or click on the date and opponent details in the results table below, which should be a hyperlink directly to the report for that game.

[It remains my intention to post a one or two paragraph summary of each game when I enter the scorecard data especially since it seems that only a select few are interested in writing full match reports because most consider my summaries to be detailed enough to be sufficient]

Summary: A blustery day saw the spectators huddling amongst the trees for shelter and the scoreboard doing an impression of a sail until the home side’s grammar school educations came to the rescue and it was propped up against a couple of trees. We were denied the opportunity to play on the main square but the back pitch played well enough and a fast outfield contributed to a high scoring contest. Wardy (2-42), bowling as first change, broke the opening partnership at 52 in the tenth over but that didn’t slow the scoring rate any and when the second wicket fell another 49 runs had been added in the same number of overs. Graham and Darrell (3-67) did manage to apply the brakes for a short while, especially when opener Peter O’Toole was stumped for 70, but Tom Broughton (51 no.) reapplied the throttle and the home side were able to declare about fifteen minutes earlier than the scheduled tea interval having amassed 230 from 38 overs.

Upon the resumption the Badgers’ innings got off to a terrible start, with Patrick, batting at number four, striding to the wicket to face the third ball. He and Richard Ward (46) did a more than effective job of recovering the situation and the pair added 110 for the third wicket at above five an over. The last twenty started with 117 still required and Pat then nursed the middle order through the next twelve overs, at which point fifty runs were needed. Graham Ward (16) helped Pat add 37 of those runs but he was run out with less than three overs remaining and Pat fell for 119 from the next ball. This left Mark in the not unfamiliar position of needing to shepherd the lower order but with twelve runs required from the same number of balls he calmed Badger nerves by thumping two big sixes to take the visitors to victory in a hurry. Whilst the home side might argue that they were too generous in their declaration, I would disagree and feel that skipper Phil Smith got it absolutely spot on. Only a superb innings by Pat and a couple of key dropped catches – a fairly straightforward chance at mid on when he was in the 70s and a sharp chance at the wicket on 99 – stood between them and a win. Kudos all round for a great game played in the right spirit.

Statistical Notes: Pat’s impressive knock took him past 4000 runs for the club and is the eighth century that he has made, in just 92 innings, three more than anyone else in club history.
