Boxing Day Football
The challenge match
between the cricketers and football sides took
place again this year. Average age of cricketers
was about 102. Both teams couldn't manage a full
squad. Some inspired saves from Paul Binnersley
together with the normal finishing from the
footballers kept the score fairly close ending 5
- 3 in footballers favour.
Is Loll preparing to catch a large beach ball, or is that the size of the one that got away!
16th Sept. Madeley fielded just two players from the team that started the season, in their last home fixture v Broseley. It came as no surprise that they had to fight a rearguard action to come away with a draw. Earlier in the day Broseley totalled 176 - 5 thanks in the main to a knock of 75 from R.Firmstone. Jamie Lloyd was Madeley's most successful bowler with 3 - 29. In reply Madeley were never in the hunt and finished on 87 - 8. Chris Hodson remained unbeaten on 37.
