| STUDLEY ROYAL CRICKET CLUB 2009 ANNUAL REPORT - Mon 16th November 2009 by the CHAIRMAN and TRUSTEES To confirm the date that is in the Club Handbook, The Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 18th November 2009 at 8.00pm in the Clubhouse. It is obviously in the best interest of the Club for as many members as possible to attend, however for those not able to be there, below is a summary of the year along with proposals received to date and the officials to be elected. Playing The best season in the history of the Club. The 1st Team won Division 1 of The Hunters York and District Senior League, going unbeaten for the whole season. The Under 15’s won The Yorkshire Cup, and progressed to the ECB North of England Final, finishing as Runners Up. The Seniors again fielded 4 Saturday sides, with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams playing in The Nidderdale and District League Divisions 3, 5 and 8. All three sides were in contention for promotion during the season, with the 2nd team only finally being destined to another season in Division 3 on the last day of the season. The Evening League side retained their Division One status. Season 2010 will see the exciting and challenging introduction of the Studley Royal 5th Team playing in Division 9 of The Nidderdale League. This is further proof of the club development, and of the tremendous depth of talent which keeps coming through the junior section. The 1st Team must however take all the senior accolades. The Championship was won with a completely home grown side, led by tremendous example by Steve ‘Cat’ Walmsley. Robert ‘Pup’ Nicholson had a fantastic season just missing out on 1000 runs for the season, but all the players can feel very proud of achieving the highest position in the Club history, and getting us into The Premiership League which is arguably one of the top three cricket leagues in Yorkshire. The Junior section continues to strengthen and again Club history was made by the Under 15’s winning the Yorkshire Cup. They also won the League being unbeaten all season, and were Runners Up in The Bob Mellor Cup. The Under 13 and Under 9 teams also got to the Divisional Play-Off Finals but both were Runners Up. As with the exciting development of a 5th Team for the Seniors, the Junior Section also has an exciting development with a new Under 18 side being entered into The York & District Intermediate League. Indoor cricket continues to help the players during the winter months, and we again dominated the 2008/09 season winning 3 of the 4 Age Groups. Many juniors again played representative Nidderdale League matches, qualified for Yorkshire Pathway School of Excellence coaching and represented North Yorkshire and Yorkshire at various levels. George and Harry Lamb, George Foster and Ben Coad also played at Yorkshire County levels, with Ben Coad helping Yorkshire to win the ECB National Under 15 Cup beating Lancashire in the Final at Oakham. The second Studley Royal Academy was held over the 2008/09 winter. This was again a great success and will continue during the 2009/10 winter under the guidance of Andy Mackle and Steve Walmsley, assisted by other young promising coaches within the Club. Clubmark David Harlock continues to manage our Clubmark status, and the three year review is now due for preparation. Our Chairman, Ken Coad, has during 2008/09 been elected as Chairman and Secretary of The Nidderdale Junior Cricket League, and elected onto the Nidderdale League Management Committee. Finance Quarterly accounts are submitted to the Management Committee. The work put in by David Gee proved very valuable when we requested an extension to the Club Loan. An EGM was held on 14th October to approve the loan extension which retains the current monthly outgoings, while extending the loan period, but importantly granting an additional £15k, which is largely required to ease the continuing drainage problem which has cursed the Club in recent years. The accounts will be presented at the AGM, but in summary we made around £7k operating profit which funded the loan repayments of £5k and the acquisition of a bowling machine costing £2k so we have had another financially successful year. David Gee and Sue Coad have performed a very professional and detailed set of accounts, and they have been assisted by Robin Godden and Sarah Egan supplying income information. The Subscriptions and Match Fees were amended in 2009, and it is proposed that they remain the same in 2010. Events 2009 proved a difficult year with the Sportsmens Dinner and Race Night being cancelled this year due to the recessionary times we are in, and the Twenty20 was played with only three teams when Collingham were forced to call off at the eleventh hour. All five of The Nidderdale Junior Finals were however played to schedule on Sunday 6th September. An Abba night raised £350 for Club Funds while also helping other local charities and other events were still held, and we thank everyone who supports our many and varied events, and please continue to support them as this certainly encourages the organisers to continue organising. 2010 will see The Nidderdale Cricket League hosting the International Golden Oldies Event. Teams, of players over 40 years of age, from all over the world will play a week of cricket around the Nidderdale area, and we are delighted to be hosting 3 matches at Studley Royal in August 2010. Communications and Sponsorship You will have again received this Annual Report via the Club Website and E-Mail System. We still do not use this to the extent that we could, but our thanks go to Iain Shaw and Par Conception for their continuing outstanding involvement in this development. Sponsorship has never been more important to the Club than it is today. We have made tremendous progress both on and off the field of play, but as we continue to progress the financial demands to improve facilities increases. Robert Sowray, assisted by Sarah Egan, will continue to encourage sponsorship but it is down to all members to encourage more sponsorship whereever possible as we strive to provide facilities for all our local home grown players to continue their development. We are delighted to again retain our three main sponsors, AMG Leisure,Ripon Timber and Ripon Interiors, but to all our sponsors we say a very big thank you for all your support. Ground and Facilities Chris Newton and Steve Harris, at the main ground and the Deer Park respectively, have performed sterling work all season. Many other players have also provided excellent support, however special mention must go to Bob Sheldon and David Craven for all of their help on the outfield during the season. Chris Newton has worked closely with Masham Golf Club groundsmen to install the new drainage system. This should provide immediate drainage relief but their close season work on the square will also, over the next two years, bring the ground up to the required standard for The Premier Division of The York Senior League. The ground expenditure is high, but to continue our development and retain our better players while ensuring more availability to play as much cricket as possible, it is essential. The Clubhouse management under Robin and Trudie continues to generate the income which is so much needed for the progression of the Club. They have continued to expand the function room usage and have a very full diary of events. Officers, and to Date any Proposals Received. Position 2009 2010 Proposal Received Trustees R Sowray, A.

The 1st Team in The York Senior League Premier League, our 2nd,3rd and 4th teams again fighting for expected promotion and a new 5th team in the Nidderdale League. Add to this a new Under 18 team, plus exciting youngsters coming through and keeping Studley Royal at the forefront of junior cricket in Yorkshire. We can assure you that Studley Royal are becoming very well known in the Yorkshire cricket world. The performance of the Club off the field continues to improve, and as always thank you to the large number of dedicated volunteers who continue to make this Club such a success. Thank you for reading this Annual Report, and for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the A.G.M. |

| U-15s Reach Last Eight Nationally - Wed 5th August 2009 Wednesday the 5th of August saw the ECB U15 National Club Cricket Championship North Regional Semis and Final. The four teams who had qualified were Warrington (Cheshire), Studley Royal (Yorkshire), Apperknowle (Derbyshire) and Tynemouth (Northumberland). The Semis were played at York CC and Clifton Alliance CC. Apperknowle played Warrington and Tynemouth played Studley Royal. Studley skipper George Lamb won the toss and opted to bat. Nick Kimber and Ed Robinson went in and put on 22 before Kimber was run out on 16. Robinson went on to 20 before being caught off Lonnberg. The Lamb brother contributed another 11 runs before Angus Shaw looked to be getting established hitting 18 off 13 balls before running himself out. Rob Lowe fell cheaply and Elliot Oates went on 9 caught off Clark. Big Joe Ainscough then contributed 16 off 14 balls and Simon Evans was left with him not out for 4. The innings total of 102 off the 20 overs looked to be on the low side. Ainscough opened the blowing for Studley with Evans and they restricted Tynemouth to 24 off their 8 overs. Stenhouse fell to a trade mark close catch by Kimber in Ainscough’s third over. Evans bowled 2 maidens going for only 10 runs off his 4 overs. Ainscough took 1 for 11 off his 4 overs with 1 wicket maiden. Shaw and George Lamb then came on with Shaw removing Straughan for 13 caught by George Lamb and returning figures of 1 for 20 off his 4 overs. George Lamb took no wickets for 17 off 3 overs. Lowe and Kimber then entered the attack with Tynemouth on 65 off 15 overs. Lowe took 2 for 19 off 3 and Kimber 1 for 16 off 2. The leadership shown by George Lamb and Shaw with Tynemouth needing only 6 runs to win off the last over was fantastic. Lowe, holding his nerve very well, bowled a cracking last over which went for only 4 runs and contained a brilliant stumping by U-12 wicket keeper George Foster. Studley won by 1 run and were into the ECB U15 National Club Cricket Championship North Regional Final against Warrington who had beaten Apperknowle convincingly. The achievement of this Studley side to win through from nearly 1800 teams nationally to the last 8 must be stressed. No Nidderdale league side has ever gone this far in the competition and now Studley were faced with a Warrington side that had won the Cheshire Cup and had already beaten the Lancashire Cup holders in the County Playoff Round. Warrington with a population of 194,000 vs. Studley Royal, Ripon with a population of 15,922! After only a half hour break Studley skipper George Lamb went out for the toss and won opting again to bat. In went Kimber and Robinson. Robinson fell to a brilliant Yorker from Chadderton for 5 in the third over and George Lamb fell for a duck in the fourth. Elliott Oates went in and steadied the innings. Kimber retired with a fine 50 off 52 balls. Shaw contributed 4 before being out LBW and Ainscough was forced to retire hurt on 7 off 5 balls. Rob Lowe contributed 5 and was not out with Oates who made 29 off 45 balls. The Studley total of 111 fell short of the 125 that the coach, manager and supporters had hoped for on what was obviously a good batting wicket. The sides turned round and things could not have started better for Studley with Ainscough, bowling at half pace due to a muscle strain, removing opener Corcoran for nothing in the first over. Evans and Ainscough restricted Warrington to 25 for 1 off 5 overs before the Studley spinners came on. It was not to be their day with George Lamb going for 23 off his 4 overs. Rob Lowe took 1 for 14 off 3 and Evans coming back on took 1 for 26 off 4. With two overs to go Warrington needed 2 to win and a miracle was needed when Shaw took the ball for his fourth over. Things started well with two dot balls but the dream was dashed and with a huge 6 from Regan the game was lost and Warrington were the ECB U15 Northern Champions for 2009. Robert Sowray who introduced most of this years Studley U15s to cricket when they started off in his Tykes was at York to watch and spoke to them in the changing room after the Final. He spoke for all those who have managed, coached, scored, supported and generally been involved with this years U15s in saying how proud everyone was of this side and our junior section generally. This side was chosen from a squad of great depth and character whom those that have watched hope to see go on and develop their game as U17s and as Seniors over the coming years. The younger members of the team I am sure will be back and will want to emulate the success of George Lambs 2009 U15s over the next few years. It is tantalizing to think that Josh Crewe has two more years at this age level and that Harry Lamb, George Foster, Will Shaw and Tom Bailey will still be playing at this age level in three years time. Our Junior club sponsor Geoff Holroyd of Ripon Timber who watched both matches was also full of praise for the lads and we are lucky as a club to have such a generous supporter. Hopefully Geoff will have plenty more opportunities to watch Ripon Timber sponsored Studley junior teams progressing in national competitions over the coming years. Those that have played for Studley in the 2009 ECB U15 National Club Cricket Championship are as follows: George Lamb (Captain) U15 Angus Shaw (Vice Captain) U15 Ben Coad U15 Nick Kimber U15 Ed Robinson U15 Joe Ainscough U15 Rob Lowe U15 Nick Stuart U15 Elliott Oates U14 Simon Evans U14 Ben Nabarro U14 Scott Thompson (Keeper) U14 Josh Crewe U13 Harry Lamb U12 George Foster (Keeper) U12 Will Shaw U12 Tom Bailey U12 The U15s have two more matches this season both of which will be played on the 6th of September. 10.00am sees the Final of the Bob Mellor Cup at Knaresborough Forrest CC and then the afternoon the North section vs South section Nidderdale League U-15 Playoff Final which will be played at Studley Royal. Both matches are against Pannal A who like Studley have more than one side at this age group. |
| ECB U-15 Northern Club Championship - Sun 2nd August 2009 Wednesday the 5th of August is a big day for the Ripon Timber sponsored Studley Royal U-15 squad who are already Yorkshire Champions and have beaten the County Durham Cup holders in the first county playoff round. George Lamb’s team will now be playing for the ECB U-15 Northern Club Championship at York Cricket Club, Clifton Park, Shipton Road, York YO30 5RE. The Semi Final starts at 10.30am and the Final and Third/Fourth place playoff is then played in the afternoon. If the U-15s win the Northern Championship they would reach the last four nationally and contest the Finals day at Kibworth in Leicestershire on the 27th of August. Please come and support the lads.

| U-15 side are ECB Yorkshire County Club Champions 2009 - Sun 28th June 2009 Expectations amongst players, management and supporters were running high when Studley Royal arrived at Hartshead Moor Cricket Club in West Yorkshire for the Semis and Final Day of the ECB U-15 County Club Champions (Yorkshire Region) on Sunday. The squad of twelve all arrived early so as to watch Guiseley play Darton in the first Semi of the day. What a match, tied on the last ball, with Guiseley through on the basis of having lost fewer wickets. So Studley then knew who they would face if they could win their Semi which to great surprise was not to be against North Leeds who had failed to get through but against Whitely Hall from South Yorkshire, like Studley unbeaten in their league this year. So Studley skipper George Lamb went out for the toss and won opting to bat. With both the usual Studley openers Ed Robinson and Nick Kimber away on school trips in went Nick Stuart and Lamb. Stuart did the job asked of him and together with Lamb put on 22 and 26 respectively off 47 balls. Stuart fell to an excellent bit of fielding, run out, and Lamb was caught right on the boundary line by Stringer while attempting a second six back over the bowlers head! What Studley did not realise straight away was that Stuart had twisted his back which would result in 12th man U-12 Tom Bailey fielding with implications later in the day. U-14 Elliott Oates was the Studley number three and was off the mark quickly with a number of quick singles before being caught by Chadderton for 8 while Angus Shaw also fell cheaply for 5. Having got off to a good start Studley now looked a little shaky when Ben Coad walk purposefully to the wicket with the air of a man meaning business. Well what business, 29 off 17 balls including three straight sixes and suddenly the total looked much more respectable! U-14 Rob Lowe, U-12 Harry Lamb, U-14 Simon Evans, U-13 Josh Crewe and U-14 Ben Nabarro all paid brief visits to the crease and added another 21 runs between them putting Studley on a final total of 132 for 8 off their 20 overs. After taking on fluids Studley turned round and the Whitely Hall openers Pickering and Martin came out to be faced by Ben Coad and U-14 Rob Lowe on blistering form. With two of the three older Studley seamers away much was on the shoulders of Coad and Lowe. They did not disappoint Coad bowled 4 overs for 14 runs and Lowe 3 overs for 18 runs. After seven overs Whitely Hall were very much contained by the Studley opening attack and now came the two older spinners who did what was expected of them. Lamb took the wickets of both openers returning figures of 2 for 22 off 4 overs and Shaw took out the number 3 returning figures of 1 for 22 off 4. Simon Evans and Josh Crewe then entered the attack returning excellent figures of 11 off 2 overs and 7 off 2 overs respectively. Mention here must be made of Studley wicketkeeper U-14 Scott Thompson who did not let anything past him. The last over fell to Harry Lamb and victory was Studley’s having restricted Whitely Hall to 109 runs off their 20 overs in an excellent game that was played in the best spirit of Yorkshire junior cricket. So after a forty five minute break for the excellent refreshments kindly laid on by the hosts Hartshead Moor Cricket Club it was time for the Final against Guiseley. Once again the toss was won and Studley padded up with the officials hurriedly marking out the extra lines needed for Studley to deploy a runner for the injured Stuart. Studley skipper Lamb and Stuart organised themselves with Nabarro acting as the runner. Stuart did a brave job at one hitting 13 runs off 7 balls before being run out. Oates then joined Lamb at the wicket but had a rare off day being bowled for 2. The great Studley experiment of the day was then instigated with Harry Lamb walking out to the crease to join his brother. The Lamb brothers then dazzled everyone running up 45 and 44 runs respectively. George fell caught by Newark off Mountain. Angus Shaw joined Lamb junior in a supporting role hitting 13 off 13 balls before being caught by Chippendale off Reeve. Rob Lowe then batted out carrying his bat with young Lamb for 4 runs off 3 balls. The target set by Studley for Guiseley was 149 runs. So Coad and Lowe again the Studley opening attack recoding figures of 7 runs with 1 maiden off 3 overs and 11 runs with 1 maiden off 3 overs respectively. Guiseley like Whitely Hall were well contained and it was time for the dynamic due of Lamb and Shaw to cast their leg and off spin spells once again. The wickets came with Lamb taking the wicket of Guiseley opener Pratt for 12 and Shaw bowling Mountain for 8, Walker for 14 and taking an excellent caught and bowled of Thompson for 2. Lamb’s figures were 1 wicket for 18 runs off 3 overs and Shaw’s 3 wickets for 10 runs off 3 overs. Lamb and Shaw showed once again just how dangerous they are when bowling together in tandem. Evans, Nabarro and Crewe all then were bowled returning figures of 7 runs for 1 wicket off 2 overs, 10 runs for 0 wickets off 2 overs and 9 runs for 1 wicket off 2 overs. Finally Elliott Oates was unleashed demonstrating the incredibly spin he can put on the ball going for only 3 runs off 2 overs including 1 maiden. At the close of their 20 overs Guiseley had scored 80 runs and Studley were the 2009 ECB U-15 County Club Champions (Yorkshire region) by 69 runs. There was then a fifteen minute break while the presentation table was set up before Stephen Pickles the ECB county organiser for Yorkshire spoke to the two sides, management and supporters. The achievement of both sides to reach the final was made clear when Mr. Pickles told everyone that 180 teams from Yorkshire had entered the competition this year and that the Yorkshire Region was the largest county club competition in the United Kingdom. Guiseley were presented with their runners up mementos and then the winner’s medals were presented to all twelve of the Studley squad for the day before George Lamb came up again to be presented with the ECB U-15 Club Championship County Winners Trophy for 2009. Pictures were then taken and congratulations given all round. Studley now progress to the national stages of the competitions playing the County Durham champions at Studley’s Galphay Road ground on the 19th of July at 2.30pm. (See Gallery for pictures) |
| U-15 Bob Mellor Cup defence moves on to final - Fri 26th June 2009 The Studley Royal U-15 A side are through to the final of the Bob Mellor Cup for the second year running and will defend the trophy won last year by Ben Crewe’s side at Knaresborough Forest Cricket Club on the 17th July at 6.15pm. The Semi Final was an excellent match played against Harrogate A on the old county ground at St. George’s Road, Harrogate. Harrogate won the toss and opted to bat. Studley got off to a good start with Joe Ainscough dismissing Harrogate openers Griffin and Halliday for 3 and 8 respectively and then Hammond for 2. Kempley and Roberts steadied the Harrogate innings both retiring on 35. Angus Shaw took the wicket of Edmundson for 1 and Rob Lowe that of Davidson for 3. Wetherald and Walsh were not out on 16 and 3 at the end of Harrogate’s 22 overs. Ainscough recorded the best bowling figures with 3 wickets for 22 runs off his 5 overs and skipper George Lamb looked on excellent form just when his team need him to be. So with the target of 123 to win and the light failing fast Studley went into bat with an experimental opening partnership of Ed Robinson and Nick Stuart. Harrogate opening bowlers Griffin and Wetherald pegged them back in their spells although runs came slowly. Stuart was the first wicket to fall to Roberts for 19 off 25 balls. Robinson then was run out through an excellent direct hit for 28 off 37 balls. Lamb was then joined at the crease by Shaw and both skipper and his assistant quickly ran up the runs before Shaw went for 11. Ainscough made a brief appearance before Kempley added his scalp giving him 3 wickets for 19 runs off his 5 overs. Lowe went cheaply for 3 caught Roberts and then Evans and U-12 Harry Lamb both ran themselves out in the scramble for the final runs needed off the remaining three overs. Evans recorded 10 off the 8 balls he faced which made the difference. So as in the early clash between these two sides in the ECB National U-15 Club Cup it all came down to the last over with U-12 Will Shaw having joined Lamb at the crease and finding himself with one run and facing. Following instructions Shaw junior nudged a single and put Lamb back on strike. Lamb then hit a nice shot that was well fielded adding another single and putting Shaw back on strike with 2 runs needed off three balls. Halliday bowled a swift ball with excellent line and length but Shaw with that impetuosity of an U-12 placed it neatly between the keeper and the slip and as it raced away he and Lamb ran the two needed. Shaw junior not out for 4 and the match won with three balls to spare! This was a match played in a highly competitive manner between two teams of young men that all want to win and many of whom play representative cricket with each other at various levels. Both sides can be quite vocal at times however they play very much in the spirit of cricket. Being on opposite sides of the Nidderdale U-15 league leaves open the tantalising possibility that they could meet again in September if they both reach the playoff finals day. Studley U-15 1st XI now move on to the ECB National U-15 Club Cup Semi Finals at Hartshead Moor Cricket Club at 12.30pm this Sunday.

| Studley U-15s Defeat Upper Haugh in ECB National Cup - Sun 21st June 2009 Batting first, against Barnsley U-15 league leaders Upper Haugh, Studley Royal had an off day hitting only 113 runs for 9 wickets off 20 overs. The Studley innings was steadied by an excellent workman like 30 from U-14 Elliott Oates coming in at number 5. Words of encouragement were spoken by Studley Captain George Lamb and reinforced vocally by Vice Captain Angus Shaw in the changing room between innings. Yorkshire U-15 opening bowler Ben Coad then came steaming in and showed the large crowd of supporters that had gathered his class with a withering display of fast bowling returning figures of 2 wickets for 3 runs off 4 overs including 2 maidens. U-14 Rob Lowe supported Coad from the other end with figures of 1 wicket for 4 runs off 4 overs again including 2 maidens. Nick Kimber was rested from the attack but his presence was felt taking 2 first class close catches. The spinning duo of Lamb and Shaw then entered the attack returning figures of 4 wickets for 6 runs off 3 overs and 3 wickets for 3 runs off 2.3 overs respectively. Upper Haugh were all out for 19 runs off 13.3 overs and left Studley for the safety of South Yorkshire in a state of shocked bewilderment after the withering assault from Coad and Lowe followed by the spinning wizardry of the dynamic duo of Lamb and Shaw. Studley now progress to the Semis and Final day of the Yorkshire Region at Hartshead Moor Cricket Club in West Yorkshire on Sunday the 28th June. Studley now face North Leeds in the Semi Final at Hartshead Moor Cricket Club on Sunday the 28th of June and if successful would contest the Yorkshire Region Final later in the day. |
| U-15s through to fourth round of ECB National Cup (Yorkshire Reg - Sun 14th June 2009 The Studley Royal U-15 1st XI secured their fourth round place in the ECB National Cup (Yorkshire Region) with a solid win over West Yorkshire side Northowram Hedge Top at the Deer Park on Friday night. Studley won the toss and opted to bat putting on 139 for 3 off 20 overs. Kimber was the pick of the Studley batsman retiring on 50 off 41 balls. For Northowram Hedge Top Cole and Mellor produced a wicket a piece. In reply Northowram Hedge Top managed 120 for 8 off 20 overs with Mellor and Cole top scoring with 22 and 29 out respectively. Ainscough produced an excellent bowling display with 3 for 15 off 4 overs with Coad and Kimber also in the wickets. Studley now face South Yorkshire side Upper Haugh in the fourth round at home this coming Sunday at 2.30pm (to be confirmed). |
| Studley U-15s leave it late in ECB U-15 National Cup win over Ha - Thu 4th June 2009 On a cold evening at Galphay Road Studley Royal defeated Harrogate in a finish that went down to the penultimate ball of the match. Winning the toss Harrogate opted to bat and knocked off 117 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs. Griffin was the pick of the Harrogate batsman with 50 retired with Singh and Hammond hitting 18 and 19 respectively. For Studley Kimber was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 22 off 4, Ainscough 1 for 17 off 4, Shaw 1 for 22 off 4 and U-12 Harry Lamb a creditable 1 for 19 off 3. Studley keeper Thompson only had three runs recorded against him in a fine display. Turning round Studley went into bat and proceeded to unsettle their loyal supporters when Kimber fell cheaply to an excellent delivery from Wetherald and then Shaw attempting to come back for 4 off an over throw was run out. George Lamb proceeded to steady the ship building an excellent partnership with opener Robinson who again showed what excellent form he is in with bat retiring on 51. Lamb eventually was run out while pushing the runs along with some very quick singles. Oates then came to the wicket and proved his place in the side with an excellent fast 16 not out and was supported in the last two overs by Ainscough who showed his immense strength hitting the winning 4 off the penultimate ball of the twentieth over. Mention should also be made of Nabarro who saved atleast 10 runs in the field for Studley with his speed and arm. Nabarro and Evans also bowled economically and Stuart was his usual tower of strength in the field. The next round of the ECB National U-15 Cup (Yorkshire Region) sees Studley playing either Northowram Hedge Top or Scholes from West Yorkshire. This match will see the return to the side of Studley’s Yorkshire U-15 seamer Ben Coad who was absent from the Harrogate match on county duty. |

| 2nds defeat local rivals Ripon - Sat 18th April 2009 Ripon 2 208-9 (45 overs) SRCC 2 210-5 (44.5 overs) SRCC 2 (5pts) bt Ripon 2 (1pt) by 5 wickets This was a fabulous start to the season for the 2s – a hard fought victory in a very close match. Skipper won the toss and put them in on a good track. Simon Bulmer made a great start to his Studley career bowling their opener with an absolute jaffer in the first over that hit the top of off. Their no 3 (Nel) proceeded to hit the ball in the air and managed to just put it out of the reach of the fielders. Once he got going, he was in good nick, and by the time he was out for 79, Ripon were on 101 in the 22nd over. We pegged things back well and picked up wickets throughout the second half of the innings. Ben Crewe (2), Choppy (3), Coady B (1) and Marsie (2) picked up more wickets. The two Bens showed they had put on a foot in height and a yard in pace over the winter, while Marsie showed no sign of his advancing years as he came on and bowled 6 good overs at the death. Special mention to Simon Bulmer (Bully is a possible nick name – we need more suggestions) who bowled with aggression and accuracy on debut. We did not finish bowling until 4.50 – two main reasons: (1) bowlers must get back to their marks quicker – we meander back! and (2) the umpires wasted a lot of time (but it was great to have them, even if I did have to keep explaining the rules about junior bowlers to them!). We can do something about (1) and need to! Mark L and Coady D put on 44 in 14 overs before Mark went for 19, showing for the 10th year running, he has one more season in him. Choppy Lamb played well for 18 off 22 balls before Ben Crewe joined Dan, putting on 71 together picking up the rate nicely. We had been on 67 after 20, 112 after 30, and when Ben went for 36, we were on 142 after 36. Skipper did not last too long, bringing in Simon Bulmer who had recovered from cramp. Ripon set the whole field deep and gave too many singles away, while Dan was stepping things up and batting beautifully (unless you’re Cat reading this, when he was very sketchy and lucky). Dan fell for a superb 90 with a couple of overs left. Josh (aka “the finisher”) came in as tension mounted. 8 were needed at the start of the last over, and then 5 off 3 balls. At that point, Josh played the shot of the day, stepping across his stumps to flick a ball from off stump down the leg side between 2 fielders for 4. Josh then hit the winning runs off the penultimate ball in the gloom. Matt Coady and Pup joined us in the dressing room for a little sing song (how many Fosters had they drunk? £1 a can may explain it) at the end of a very enjoyable match. Next week, West Tanfield (who beat Newby 2 today) at home. No Simon Bulmer, but Mark Sim will be back. Elsewhere – good victory for the 3s (Ed Harlock 80) but defeat for the 4s (rarely does it take longer to drive to a game than the game lasts – but Spennymore are new to the league and should be several divisions higher – Kenneth proudly told us how he batted for a third of the innings, for 0). |
| U15's beat Patley Bridge by 9 wickets - Tue 22nd July 2008 The U15's this evening comfortably beat Patley Bridge. Patley batted first scoring a below par score of 80 (Harris- 2 for 4 and Shaw- 2 for 21). In reply The U15's knocked off the runs with ease (Crewe 29 not out and Gilliatt 31 not out). |
| U-15's Win Bob Mellor Cup - Fri 18th July 2008 The 40th Final of the Bob Mellor Cup was played on Friday the 18th July at Knaresborough Forest CC between Studley Royal CC U-15s and Knaresborough CC U-15s. Studley Captain Ben Crewe won the toss and elected to bat. Knaresborough Captain Peter Barnes turned this decision on Studley with his opening bowlers Graham Whiles and Alex Gates dismissing Studley openers Crewe, Edward Robinson and then George Lamb very cheapy. Whiles recorded figures of 5 overs for 17 runs and 2 wickets and Gates 4 overs for 18 runs and 2 wickets. Crewe showed his mettle as an excellent captain with a few well chosen words to Nick Kimber and Tim Gilliatt who were able to steady the Studley innings putting on 35 retired and 24 out respectively. Barnes with 5 overs for 20 runs and 2 wickets together with James Webster 4 overs for 17 runs and 2 wickets brought some control back with the dismissal of big hitter Angus Shaw, Ben Coad, Jonathan Coates and Nick Stuart fairly cheaply. At the end of the Studley 22 overs Knaresborough had contained Studley to 92 runs for 8 wickets. Barnes and Webster got the Knaresborough innings off to a fine start and were well on target with 31 runs off the first 6 overs for the loss of no wickets. Crewe then brought on the tried and tested Studley off and leg spinning partnership of Shaw and Lamb. Shaw bowled 5 overs with 1 maiden for 17 runs and 1 wicket. Lamb produced figures of 5 overs for 10 runs and 2 wickets. Barnes went for 22 and Webster 11. With Knaresborough on 56 runs for 3 Studley were forced into a bowling change and turned to Nick Kimber who was faced with George Hobson on big hitting form. This proved to be an epic dual between bowler and batsman with Kimber finally dismissing Hobson with a fantastic leg stump yorker. Hobson had amassed 23 runs off only 20 balls including one massive 6. With Knaresborough needing 10 runs to win off the last over it was always possible but Coad bowled very tightly and Knaresborough finished 5 runs short. Coad finished with figures of 4 overs for 19 runs. Studley wicket-keeper Coates deserve special mention for conceding only one bye in the entire Knaresborough innings as does the fielding of Cameron Leader and Joe Harris which was excellent. This was only the forth win in the Bob Mellor Cup for Studley in its 40 year history and with a young side Studley look forward to defending the Cup it in 2009! It should also be remembered that Studley have actually only had a Junior Section for 14 years! |
| U15's defeat the South Africans! - Mon 30th June 2008 In the lovely evening sunshine the U15's produced a fantastic display to beat Reddham School, Capetown by 27 runs. After the U15's starting poorly from some excellent bowling, George lamb (52) and Ed Robinson (18) got Studley back on track and with Nick Kimber (20) hitting some quick runs to produce a good total of 116. Some very tight bowling kept Reddham's run rate down and they never really got going, the U15's bowled very tightly with Angus Shaw (3-17), George Lamb (3-1) and Joe Ainscough (3-15). A very good performance from the U15's. |
| U15's vs. South African Touring Team from Cape Town - Mon 23rd June 2008 Monday 30th June sees Ben Crewe’s Studley Under 15 side playing a touring School team, from Cape Town at the New Ground. This will show off Ripon’s finest against some of Cape Town’s and promises 30 overs of fireworks! The match starts at 6pm sharp and the club house will be open with a small presentation being made to our South Africans tourists at the close of play. Tykes will be run on the out field but without the usual U-15 helpers and we hope as many Tykes, other juniors and senior players will be able to cheer on the bigger lads out in the middle! The bar will be open throughout the evening for light refreshment! |
| U15's smash Pannal B - Sun 22nd June 2008 The U15's arrived at Pannal on a very windy day and won the toss and elected to bat, Ben Crewe and Ed Robinson again got us off to a great start both of whom retired at 35, Tim Gilliatt added impertous to the innings retiring quickly and George Lamb making a quick 22, we finished on 175 and this was always going to be a too bigger target for Pannal B. The boys ended up comftable winners and this result takes them top at least for the time being. |
