THE TAYLOR CLAN

From Jon Taylor, Hibaldstow CC

A team photo from the recent Taylor clan match. The Taylor team was composed entirely of our in-laws and nephews. The game was played on what was the first occasion that our combined family was old enough to put out a team.
The photo shows: Back row: Wilf Taylor (Gramps), wrong side of 70 and umpire for the day, still thinking no-balls were judged on the back foot. Richard Treloar (Jane’s brother and father of the other Treloars), Jon Taylor, Dafydd Taylor (my sister Catherine’s son), Pete Taylor, Ben Taylor (my sister Catherine’s 2nd son), Jack Treloar
Front row: Will Treloar, Joe Taylor, Tom Taylor, Edward Treloar, Michael Treloar.
The opposition was a mixture of Hibaldstow and the Scunthorpe Academy, selected as best as possible to get similar age ranges. It included brothers Sunny and Ronny Sen and father and son Dave and Jacob Sweeting. Pete Hanson had to borrow a son (Kane Brown) as his own son had gone on a school trip to France.
We played a 30 over a side game, with retirement at 25. The Taylors scored 145-8 and took the tenth wicket for the opposition at 125, although they went on to score 150-15 off the 30 overs. Leading wicket takers for the Taylor clan were Joe Taylor and Will Treloar. Leading batsman for the Hibaldstow_Scunthorpe Select 11 was Pete Hanson – manager of the Scunthorpe U11 team.
Three current and former County juniors played – Kane Brown (Lincolnshire), Will Treloar (Herefordshire) and Ben Taylor (Glamorgan)
