 Dunnington
batsman Collis King has extended his remarkable record for scoring centuries. In
each of his past 11 seasons in the York & District Senior Cricket League, Collis
has scored at least one century. With only 2 matches left this season it looked
like the end of the run was in sight. Against Heworth a week earlier, Collis was
left stranded on 96* after 50 overs. Against Pickering in the penultimate match
of the season, his score was 90 entering the last over. Drawing on all his
experience, including winning the World Cup with the West Indies in 1979, he
took 4 off the second ball and hit a six off the third ball to reach his target
in style. This was Collis' 36th century, which is another league record. Having
scored 196 runs without being dismissed, he is likely to figure highly in the
league averages too, this season he has scored 633 runs at 57.55. Rum sellers in
the area beware, the party has started. |

 Mike
Noble's record breaking spell against Bolton Percy will long be remembered by
all those who witnessed it. His overall figures of 9-10 tell only half the
story. After Bolton Percy's opening bat had edged the first ball of the innings
to Josh Tattersall behind the stumps, Noble proceeded to hit the wickets 8
times, five of these in one over, including his first ever hat trick. Bolton
Percy were bowled out for just 25 runs. Earlier Gary Andrew (103) & Josh
Tattersall (47) had set the foundation for a big first innings score of 269-8.
Noble had himself scored 38* aided & abetted in his quick fire big hitting by
Steve Wilson (30). The match was notable for a century, a hundred partnership, a
244 run margin of victory, but most of all for a remarkable spell of bowling by
Noble. |

 The
Intermediate team capped an impressive season by wining the league title in a
match against Fenner, the champions for the last 2 seasons. It was a mixed
season for the club with the senior teams both disappointing but the midweek
team excelled to win Division A of the Foss League. The junior teams also
suffered mixed fortunes with the U15 reaching the final in their championship
but all other teams will look back on a season of development! |

 Collis
King & Kelvin Patterson took the main awards at the Club's Annual Dinner, held
at the Pavilion Hotel. Collis won the 1st Team batting award with 677 runs at an
average of 56.42. This included a century which extended his record to 12
consecutive seasons where he has scored at least one ton. Our overseas player
for 2007 Kelvin Patterson, won the 1st team bowling award with 44 wickets at an
average of 18.68.
In the 2nd team, Andy Chipps won the batting award (591
runs at 32.83) and Mike Noble took the bowling award (29 wickets at 8.1).
For
the Midweek team Jack Bolam & Rob Chipps won the batting & bowling awards and
Rob Chipps, also took the Brian Auton Memorial trophy for Intermediate player of
the year after topping the bowling averages & sharing the batting with Gareth
Miles.
Special awards were made to Mike Noble & Andy Milne to commemorate
their remarkable performances this season. Mike took 9-10 against Bolton Percy
in July, Bolton Percy only had 10 men & this prevented Mike making it all 10.
Andy who is 16, hit 177 against Londesborough Park in May unfortunately for us
Andy had to return to Leeds Utd in July, otherwise he would have easily topped
the 2nd team averages.
The Clubman of the year Cliff Johnson (Pictured) was
presented with the Mills memorial shield by Deb Chipps, for his continued work
as Groundsman, despite "retiring" last season.
The evening was rounded off
nicely by York's newest standup, Dave Wilson. Dave is obviously making an early
claim for the vacancy created by the loss of Bernard Manning earlier in the
year.
Photos of the night can be found in the
gallery section of the site.

the Junior section. The Under 11 batting & bowling awards went to Oliver Smith &
George Wilson. Steven Dodsworth & Tom Craddock took the U13 awards and Adam
Sutcliffe & Sam Tattersall took the U15 awards. The U15 fielding award went to
Matty Playle. The Don Andrew memorial trophy was awarded this year to Mike Shaw.
This year has seen Mike develop significantly as a player, he has made valuable
contributions for the U15s & the Midweek XI and has become a regular for the 2nd

(pictured above, presenting award to George Wilson) for organising the event and

good shape to move forward next year. More pictures of the event can be seen in

Friendly v Costcutter
by Andy Chipps | Sun 11 May 2008 2:00 PM |
After a great function on Saturday night to celebrate the completion of the new Scorebox, the 1st team played a Costcutter Invitational XI to complete the festivities. A great game was dominated by some high quality bowling, from some of the best bowlers in the Yorkshire & Bradford leagues. The home team nicked a win in the final over. Batting first on a red hot afternoon the Costcutter team made 118 in their 32 overs. This was down to some tight bowling & smart fielding throughout the team. The Dunnington innnings was dominated by Jack Bolam, he made 57* to steer the team to victory.

| U13 XI v Stamford Bridge
by Andy Chipps | Sun 11 May 2008 10:00 AM |
The U13s played well to beat local rivals Stamford Bridge. Bowling first they restricted Stamford to 84. In reply George Wilson got the team off to a good start before Oliver Smith, with help from James Gonzales steered the team home in the last over
| 1st v Thirsk
by Andy Chipps | Sat 10 May 2008 1:30 PM |
The first’s found that scoring nearly 300 wasn’t enough as Thirsk batted comfortably to reach 221-4 in reply. Skipper Hamid Khan lead the way with a great knock of 141*. He was helped by Harwood Williams (55*) & Jack Bolam (56). 293-3 was always oing to be a tough target for Thirsk, however, none of the bowlers were able to make much of an impression on the batting for whom, veteran Des Wyrill carried his bat for 94*. Dave Kitching has the best return with 9-3-42-2.
| 2nd @ Stamford Bridge
by Andy Chipps | Sat 10 May 2008 1:30 PM |
The second’s bad start to the campaign continued at Stamford Bridge where a losing draw left them 19 points adrift at the bottom of Division 4A. Stamford made a brisk start before being pegged bag to finish on 164-8. Adam Sutcliffe returned his second consecutive 5 wicket haul. Gary Andrew & Dave Wilson gave the team a solid if slow start to their innings, but the batting never caught fire. Andy Chipps made 25* at the end of the innings and batted out the final overs with last man Tom Wilson making a vital contribution, 93-9 meant that no batting bonus points were gained.
| U9B v Osbaldwick
by Andy Chipps | Thu 08 May 2008 6:30 PM |
The U9B team became the first of our Junior sides to lose this season, when they suffered at the hands of a strong Osbaldwick side. Will Hall top scored with 11 in a total of 193 (233/8). Osbaldwick were much stronger with the bat scoring 291 (310/2), most of their players already having a season's experience at this level. Stafford Swainston was the pick of the bowlers with 1-12.
| U9 Friendly v Osbaldwick
by Andy Chipps | Thu 08 May 2008 6:30 PM |
This could be the first time the club has ever fielded a C team. With so many in the U9 squad, this was a great opportunity for some of the players to get some early season match action. Matthew McPherson lead the way with 12 runs in our total of 227 (257/6). Osbaldwick were always comfortable in their innings finishing on 245 (261/3). Charlie Barron took 1-3 & William Farr 1-8.
| 3rd @ Woodhouse Grange
by Andy Chipps | Wed 07 May 2008 6:30 PM |
A close match was decided in the last over...in Woodhouse's favour. Jack Bolam (34) & Simon Richardson (18) had batted well against a top notch Woodhouse bowling attack. Woodhouse reached their target with 2 balls to spare when Joel Hughes hit a 6 just when things were looking tough for them. Jack Lehuray, in his senior debut played well, returning figures of 2-28. Sam Tattersall bowled 4 good overs against Woodhouse's 1st team batting line up for 1-15 and Rob Chipps took 2-10.
