A buoyant Sherston side made the shortish trip across to Barnsley – not the Yorkshire one! ;-( to see if they could make it three wins in a row and disrupt Barnsley’s title bid! A wet green pudding greeted the two sides therefore the toss was crucial. On some bad advice (Goodwin!!!!) the skipper lost the toss and we were … Read More

August has seemed such a damp and dreary month, yet cricket has been played every Saturday so far. The best way round for me but others may disagree. On this particular Saturday the main thing of note was the so called “Spanish Bloom” making playing cricket a hot and sweaty affair! However with rain forecast later in the day, it … Read More

After a couple of tough weeks the club got back to winning ways with a stunning team performance away at top of the League Avening & Cherrington. The skipper lost the toss on a wet green wicket. Progress from the top order was slow, but thanks to a gritty 75 from Matt Goodwin, supported by help from Harmer, Dickenson and … Read More

The annual cricket sixes took place this Sunday. After some pre tournament issues with the number of teams participating, the tournament got under way and was only half an hour behind schedule (which for SMCC was a remarkable effort!).

So, the week leading up to the game against Barnsley was a struggle for the skipper, many texts, calls and emails sent out and still the day job to be done (busy time of year there too!)!! Holidays, injuries, cycling, all that was missing for excuses not to play was a note from peoples mum’s! Thanks to some people playing … Read More

A well battled performance by the team unfortunately led to a third loss on the trot. After winning the toss and putting Adlestrop into bat, we started well with Adlestrop 0-1 off 4 overs! But the combination of some untidy bowling, poor fielding and good batting meant that Aldestrop ended up on 222-3 off of their 40 overs, with Simon … Read More

I had the pleasure of introducing Neil Forster the club president and Steve Silk CEO of Gloucestershire Cricket Board. Neil took a few moments to reminisce about the early years of the club and Steve talked about … Read More
