THIRSK CC SPONSORED WALK - 22^nd AUGUST 2010

Over the last six years, Thirsk Cricket Club has undertaken various projects in an effort to improve our facilities, and also replaced an assortment of machinery required to maintain the cricket field.  However, as time progresses, other equipment needs replacing. It is very apparent that Grant Aid and subscriptions will not be sufficient to pay for the necessary improvements. 

We are now in a situation where our pitch covers are in need of major renovation at best, or more likely replacement.  The gang mowers used to cut the outfield are also well past their best, and in need of urgent replacement.  We are simply spending too much money bodging and botching old machinery, when we would be better off buying new.

Unfortunately, grant aid is not easily come by, and the club doesn’t have enough money to purchase the aforementioned requirements without any major fundraising activity.  With this in mind, the committee of TCC have decided to hold a sponsored walk in a bid to raise the monies required to buy new machinery.

The walk will commence from the clubhouse 10am prompt on Sunday 22^nd August All members young and old along with their families are encouraged to get involved and enjoy the day.   There will be a barbecue and other refreshments available on return to the club, and also some fun and games to follow.

The Chairman and committee of TCC would strongly urge every member to attend this sponsored walk, and raise as much money as you can.  The proposed new machinery will ensure better working conditions for our hard working ground’s  team and aid the preparation of both the outfield and the square.  If you can help the club to raise the money required, it will benefit us all by enhancing your cricket field.

WEEKLY CRICKET ROUND UP

FIRST TEAM Thirsk had the worst of a high scoring draw at Dunnington whose Collis King proved that he still had the ability to perform with the ball by taking 5-49.  However his performance was outshone by skipper Paul Miles who, just a few weeks after having a knee operation, hit 116.  With Dave Johnson making 31 and Simon Dwyer 29, Dunnington were able to take tea at 258-8.  When Thirsk replied, Des Wyrill hit 52 before again retiring through injury then Keiran Fenwick made 38, Ryan McKendry 35 and Stuart Christon 22 to help them reach a safe draw at 198-8.  Report courtesy of AV Pattison www.yorkercricket.co.uk

PILMOOR TEAM This week saw Thirsk entertain Acomb PEL.  After losing the toss and being asked to bat Thirsk made good progress making 24 from the first three overs before Ryan McKendry was the first man out, bowled for 21. Stu Christon and Keiren Fenwick moved the score on nicely before both fell in quick succession along with Ben England. This brought Anthony Elders to the crease and after a slow start he eventually got into his stride as he reached the boundary with increasing regularity.  Elders hit five sixes and six fours in a quick fire 72 not out.  Cameo innings from James Wilkinson and Jamie Howe took Thirsk score to 163 for 5 at the close.  In reply Acomb made a bad start with Stuart Christon striking the stumps twice in his first two overs.  Andrew Green and Chris Foster provided some resistance as they both made 20s.  However Anthony Elders with 2 for 3 from 4 overs and Ben Morgan 2-19 from 4 overs helped bowl the away side out for just 70.  Report by Mark Cook.
