U11's match report .....
Marden U11's completed the League and Cup double on Monday
morning beating LBH by 10 runs in a hard fought, high
scoring encounter . Having won the toss and electing to
bat first Marden openers Henry Taggart and Jacob Smith
put on 20 in their 4 overs against some quick , hostile
bowling .
Wilf Andrews and Callum O'Brien added a solid partnership
of 10 to keep things ticking over . The next pairing of
Henry Young and Elliot Aitken set about destroying the
bowling scoring 45 runs in their 4 overs ( however they
lost 15 of these with each batsman getting out once and
one run out ).
Henry Spain-Warner and Jack Sunnucks were next and put
together another solid partnership of 29 . Finally Theo
Kinnersley and Alex Moen saw the score pass 300 as they
put on another 29 runs in the last 4 overs ( after being
docked 12 runs for Theo losing his wicket twice).
Marden finished on a very good total of 308-5 off their
20 overs ( Starting at 200 ) with all players contributing
extremely well . Top scorers Theo Kinnersley 26 ( 14 nett
) , Henry Young 22 (16 nett) and Henry Spain-Warner 15
.
The LBH innings started cautiously but with the Marden
bowlers failing to take wickets early on ( except 2 run
outs worth -3 each) pressure soon mounted and after 12
overs things were looking tight with LBH needing a run
a bowl for victory and their batsmen seeming to be on
top . However the tables turned on the introduction of
Henry Taggart and Henry Spain-Warner into the attack when
both bowlers got 2 wickets each ( providing -24 runs )
.
This seemed to establish panic in LBH's ranks and there
where then 2 decisive run outs . The first a brilliant
4 man effort with Henry Taggart making a diving stop on
the boundary , the alert Callum O'Brien ( having given
chase ) throwing the ball into the keeper ( Jack Sunnucks
) who in turn threw the ball to the bowlers end for Henry
Spain-Warner to run out the batsman. The second a brilliant
throw by Wilf Andrews straight over the bowlers end stumps
for Elliot Aitken to take and run the batsman out . With
the amount of damage done by these lost wickets it came
down to LBH needing 24 off the last over . Henry Young
then got the wobbles bowling a stream of wides , before
composing himself and Marden eventually ran out winners
by 10 runs .
Pick of the bowlers Henry Spain-Warner 2 overs 2 for 7
, Wilf Andrews 3 overs 0 for just 7 runs .
Well done to the whole team as it was a fantastic effort
. A special thank you to Alex Walker for being our 11th
man and to all the supporters who turned up to cheer our
boys on.
Can i also congratulate the whole squad this year for
their efforts at training and in all matches . We couldn't
have had the success this year without the constant support
from all players, parents , groundsmen , barstaff , admin
and everyone else for all their input too .
And finally a special mention to my fellow coaches who
have help out this year , we are a very lucky club to
have the talent of these individuals and it has been a
pleasure for me as i am sure for all the coaches to help
bring up , what i am sure will be , a fine group of cricketers
for the future. Teaching these 9, 10 and 11 year olds
is a far better cure for a hangover than neurofen ( well
most of the time ).
Thank you all , Paul

League
Week 18
1stXI take win at Lenham
2ndXI fall to Cobham
Marden 1st team V Lenham
I was kindly reinstated as skipper by Matt, who has done
a sterling job during my absence. I won the toss and asked
Lenham to bat.
Sam Courtley and Ben Tomkinson opened the bowling and
immediately asked questions of the Lenham openers. Courtley
removed the Lenham skipper Gray for 6 caught behind by
Julian Boucher. Tomkinson quickly took the wickets of
the number 2 and 3 batsmen bowled and caught by Courtley
respectively. Lenham re grouped and put together a 4th
wicket partnership that looked like pushing their total
to a respectable score after the stuttering start. The
introduction of Harry Karim, bowling up the slope, was
about to change that. Harry broke the partnership and
beguiled the incoming late order batsmen with drift, swing
and the flight that has brought him lots of wickets this
year. Arun Samuel took two good catches and Martin Taplin
a towering catch to give Harry three wickets. Courtley
returned to take 2 more wickets and tidy spells by Blythin,
Samuel and Thomas restricted Lenham to 154 for 8 off 45
overs.
Hunter and Burdge opened. The skipper lasted 3 balls,
like last year 4, swish then caught by 1st slip after
the keeper had spilled the chance!! No problems Taplin
came in and attacked the Lenham bowling making 15 but
Burdge and Tomkinson played two brilliant innings to win
the game easily off 32 overs. Burdge unbeaten on 71, and
jug avoidance from Tomkinson 46 who deserved 50. Dai Thomas
hit two 4’s to win the game.

After losing the toss and being asked bowl first things
looked good after 18 overs. John Hancock, Dan and Will
kept the Cobham batsman quiet and they stood at 45 for
2. The Cobham skipper got going and never looked back
as the game swing towards them from the 19 over mark.
James took some punishment and was unlucky as the normally
reliable Rupert dropped the 1st of the teams 5 dropped
catches. The removal of the skipper at that point could
have had a big impact on the game. A mention for will
who bowled his full quota of 12 overs for the 1st time
this season and bowled with good control getting 2 wickets
for 40 of his 12. Gareth finished off one end and ended
withr 1 wicket for 63 off 11. This doesn't do any justice
to Gareth who had 4 catches dropped and a very good LBW
shout turned down. Dan and John returned form the opposite
end and both ended up with 3 wickets a piece, John figures
of 3 for 21 form 11 and Dan 3 for 33 from 8. Cobham ended
with 204 for 9 from their 45 overs.
The Marden innings never got going as numbers 2,3,4 and
5 amassed a stagging 3 runs between them. The skipper
went for 15 and John Hancock for 13 and Richard Thomas
for 23. The only star of the innings was young Rob Wickham
who came in to make us up to 11 on Saturday morning and
top scored 31 and kept wicket very tidily including a
very good catch to give Gareth his wicket. The rest of
the batsman fell short as well to leave us with a total
of 125 all out a loss of 79 runs.
