RAM PAYS TRIBUTE TO ALL-ROUNDER 'DOLLY'

Scunthorpe Town Cricket Club all-rounder Ramesh Chand had paid a very fitting tribute to former England and Worcestershire all-rounder Basil D’Oliveira, who has died, aged 80.
Writing on the Scunthorpe Town CC facebook page, Ramesh says: “R.I.P Basil D'Oliveira. A true role model throughout the world. A shining example of how racial barriers in South Africa did not prevent him from showcasing his immense talent. A true icon and his memory and respect should b an inspiration to us all. Legend.”
Older Lincs Cricket Latest followers may recall Basil speaking at one of the local cricket forums (late 1980s) organised by the Grimsby Telegraph.

CAPTAIN BEAKY CALLS THE TUNE AT BRIGG

Brigg Town Cricket Club has a new captain - Nigel Beacock (pictured).
He takes over from Phil Dewfall, who has stepped down after 10 years as skipper (initially of the 2nd X1, now Brigg Town's only X1).
Nigel was elected at last night's AGM, held at Brigg Town Football Club's Hawthorns HQ. His vice-captain will be Paul Harrison.
Brigg will again play in division three of the East Yorkshire Alliance - a competition dominated by teams drawn from Hull and the East Riding.
Gary Smith continues as chairman, Joe Hebblewhite as secretary and Jack Richards as treasurer.

CRICKET NIGHT OUT FOR A FIVER

Lancashire Cricket is the subject of the November meeting of the Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society.
The speaker is Bob Dearden, a former chairman of the Central Lancashire League. Now chairman of Keywood CC where he was 1st XI captain for many years, he is the club’s coach and still turns out for the 3rd XI when needed.
Bob is a recognised Cricket Society speaker and promises an informative and amusing talk when he addresses the Lincolnshire society at Cleethorpes Cricket Club on Thursday, November 24 at 7.30pm.
The evening is free for members and £5 for guests.

QUITE A CRICKETING DAY ALL ROUND!

From Ciaron Deegan, Owmby CC


Further to the post on your blog about seeing Umpire Sally Deegan (Newton) in the recent ACO newsletter...

Saturday 13th August will live long in the memory for some cricketers within the Lincolnshire area, one in particular being Ciaron Deegan who committed himself to marrying Lincolnshire's premier female umpire, Sally Newton. The service took place on a hot Saturday afternoon (Owmby, Ciaron's club didnt have a fixture) at 3pm and he and Sally were joined by cricketing and umpiring friends at Bishop Grosseteste chapel, Lincoln, and the reception after took place at Lindum Sports Association.
In the picture attached: Extreme Left is Scunthorpe Town's Jamie Brumby (Usher), Next is Owmby's Sam Atkin (Usher) followed by Scunthorpe Town's Ben Brumby (Best Man), me (Owmby) and then Sally (Umpire).
So, as you can see, quite a cricketing day all round!

LINCS GROUNDSMEN INVITED TO MEET DERBY EXPERT

From Ann Boulton

Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s groundsman is the first speaker of the Lincolnshire Cricket Groundsmen’s Association’s season of winter meetings.
Neil Goodrich will be at Lindum CC in Lincoln on Wednesday, November 23 when he will be speaking about the recent re-development of Derbyshire’s square and construction of the new pitch and will be answering members’ questions.
The evening begins at 7.30pm and is open to all groundsmen throughout the county, whatever the size of their club and also to anyone interested in learning more about ground preparation.
Membership costs £10 a year and gives priority on trips to Trent Bridge and the KC Stadium and also on the Allet Mower Factory tour. Members also received a discount on the pitch advisory service run by the ECB and operated by Lincolnshire Pitch Adviser Martin Deans.
This service includes a series of measurements carried out across the square to troubleshoot any deficiencies and to advice where improvements can be made.
At the recent Association AGM, long-serving chairman Howard Swain (PICTURED ABOVE) called time on his position and was warmly congratulated and thanked by a large audience of members on helping the Lincs CGA become one of the most well-established and well-run associations in the country.
Martin Deans was unanimously elected as chairman and secretary with Mike Savage as treasurer.
For further information contact Martin Deans on 07971087891 or email martindeans@btinternet.com

THREE MORE JOIN S LINCS & BORDER

AGM report From Ann Boulton

Three new teams will join the South Lincolnshire & Border League in 2012, bringing the numbers up to 35. And the league also has a new chairman in David Morris who takes over from Trevor Ginn, following Trevor’s many years of sterling service to the SLBL.
At the recent AGM, Friskney were voted into the league following an inspection of facilities while Welby are entering a 2nd XI and Lindum will play an Academy side in Division Three with fixtures taking place at the new ground at Sobraon Barracks in Lincoln.
Sleaford Sunday have withdrawn from the SLBL to play in the Lincoln League and it was agreed that the make-up of the league for 2012 would be 12 teams each in Divisions One and Two and 11 in Division Three.
Blankney, Baston and Moulton Harrox are promoted to Division Two while, following Sleaford’s resignation, bottom side Ropsley avoided relegation and live to fight again in this division. Skegness 2nd are promoted to Division One.
Next season, the league will reduce paperwork by abandoning submitted scoresheets and using the play-cricket website exclusively for recording match details.
Following the meeting, trophy presentations took place with two 14 year olds stealing the limelight. Will Wright of Lindum Ramblers won the Division One junior batting award while the junior bowling trophy for Division Two went to Alex Birch of Stamford 2nd who is a month younger that Wright.
Another junior to catch the eye was 16 year old Joseph Broomfield of Moulton Harrox who won the Division Three junior batting award and also carried off the senior wicketkeeping award for that division.
Trophies were presented by league president Mike Marsh.
