News & Information

PEGS ARE SUNDAY INDOOR CRICKET CHAMPIONS  Pegasus and Corringham are the South Essex District Cricket Board's Sunday league champions with a 100% record after a six-wicket victory over last year's winners Stanford le Hope.  Stanford looked in good shape as Ian Sanderson and Duncan Page both rattled up fine undefeated half centuries with 53 and 50 respectively - only for Pegasus and Corringham to casually pass the Stanford target of 110-4, through Hymas, 25 not out, Bennett, 30 not out, Sayer, 25 not out and Turnbull, 21 not out.  Pegs finished on 113 without loss and achieved victory with 3.5 overs to spare.  They now go on to face the winners of the Southend area competition in a play-off ahead of the county finals, but that will not take place until November.

 

One of the best individual performances from our indoor six a side programme occurred on Friday 19th February 2010 when Declan Rydings took five wickets without conceding a single run for Orsett CC in their U14 youth fixture with Grays and Chadwell CC at Grays School. In his first over, the young leg-spinner claimed three wickets in four balls - all stumped. In his second over, two further wickets were taken, one bowled and one caught.  The catch was taken by the wicketkeeper Connor Hammond - giving him five victims in all.

Indoor Cricket Report - Play-off Final - from the South Essex District Cricket Board Stanford le Hope 79 all out Hadleigh and Thundersley 81-4   Hadleigh and Thundersley CC will represent the South Essex District Cricket Board in the Essex Indoor six-a-side cricket finals after an impressive display against Stanford le Hope CC in a play-off final at the Ashwells Graham Gooch Indoor cricket centre at Essex County Cricket Club on Tuesday evening (3rd November 2009).   Stanford batted first and were soon in trouble against a lively opening attack from Hadleigh's Adam Sollieux and Tim Lowes.  After three overs, Stanford had half their team back in the dressing room as they stuttered to 11 for 3, but then Matthew Page and Ross Poulton staged a dramatic recovery. Page was eventually run out for 25, while Ross Poulton struck a fine 27, until he was stumped in the final over with the team score on 79.  Sollieux finished with 1-11 from three overs while Lowes finished on 1-14, also from three overs.   Brothers Michael and Paul Tibbenham started confidently for Hadleigh, as these two put on 39, but with the final ball of the fifth over, Michael Tibbenham was bowled by Ian Sanderson for 14.  Sibling Paul continued the scoring by reaching the compulsory retirement score with 26 not out, while Joe Robbins contributed a further dozen runs.  With Hadleigh requiring just six runs to win from the three remaining overs, Lee Knight conceded just two runs from a vital tenth over, the game almost turned on its head as Page achieved a wicket maiden, dismissing Adam Fleming courtesy of a Robert Page stumping. However, Lowes and Sollieux completed the job in the final over by scoring the required runs.   The South Essex District Cricket Board would like to congratulate Hadleigh and Thundersley for reaching the finals and would also like to acknowledge the excellent work of the scorers provided by each club as well as the two umpires, Charles Osbourn and John Owen.
