New ways to view the website....

There are now some interesting new ways to view the website (not mobile friendly). They can be seen here.

Last Man Stand - Days of Play

The games will be played on Sunday's and week day evening's to suit the teams playing. You can register your interest to play for East Keswick in the competition here.

Last Man Stands (again)

The club has until the 26th June to register itself for the Last Man Stands competition which will be running from the start of July. We currently have 8 players expressing an interest and while this is enough to make up the required 8 man team we'd ideally like a few more. There are no plans to charge any money to play in these games and the club would cover the £160 registration fee.

You can get a full rundown on this new anorexic version of cricket here and/or watch the ECB Last Man Stands Promo video below.

I've asked which day the games will be played on and will post an update later - so please check back!

Week 9 - Match Report

Can now be found by clicking here. The 2nd team report will follow later.

Update: Scorecard added to 1st team report.

Week 9 - Results

Week 9 saw both East Keswick teams defeated.

The 1st XI took on top of the table Bilton and due to a no show by one of their players and the refusal of the opposition captain to allow a replacement had to play with just 10 men. This however was not enough to stop a remarkable display as they took the top of the table team down to the last over of 47 requiring just one wicket to win before Bilton crept over the finishing line.

The 2nd XI fell to another defeat as they bowled Amaranth out for 116 but then failed once again with the bat as they were bowled out for 99.

Reports to follow later.

Week 9 - Transport

Transport details are as follows:

Kamran: Cherry, Venu - Abubakar Supermarket, 12.15pm
Ashfaq: Muthiah, Bharath - Abubakar Supermarket, 12.15pm
Andrew: Rahul, Scorer - Headingley Indoor nets, 12.15pm
Chris: Vinod, Gunalan, Ajay, Shekar - Headingley Indoor Nets, 12pm (check time with Chris)

Week 9 - Team Selection

The teams for the games against Bilton in Ainsty CC and Amaranth CC can now be seen here. Transport arrangements will follow on Friday morning.

Player Registration Fee

Another reminder to those who have not paid that providing you have been playing on a regular basis you should be paying the £20 registration fee. If you wish to pay in installments this is fine.

The alternative is to make one tea for a game. This should consist of a couple of varities of sandwiches (veg and meat), and some cakes, biscuits etc.. This can be done for under £20, so if you'd rather make a tea than pay the £20 please contact the club.

Week 8 - Match Report

The match report and scorecard for the 1st team game against Sicklinghall CC can be found in the Fixtures & Results section. Thanks to Andy Barber for the guest write-up.

Sicklinghall Match Report

Apologies for this not appearing on the website. It will be up this evening before 9pm.

Last Man Stands

Just a reminder for anyone interested in playing this fast version of the game to let the club know by filling in the form here.

You can read the original post with a rundown of what is involved here.

Goodbye & good luck Guru!

Guru has gone back home to India after finding himself a job in Dehli. The club would like to put on record it's thanks for the last two seasons he has spent here. So far this season he had scored 148 runs at an average of 37.00 and last year played a leading role in the club being promoted in all but name.

Best of luck from all at East Keswick CC

Week 8 - Result

The 1st team went down by just 33 runs against second placed Sicklinghall in a game that saw the visitors get only 138-9 from their 45 overs. In reply Keswick were dismissed for 105 runs, earning themselves an important point in the process.

Match report to follow Monday.

Week 8 - Team Selection & Transport Arrangements

The 1st XI team to face Sicklinghall has been confirmed and can be seen here. Transport arrangements can be found on the East Keswick CC Facebook page.

Also a reminder that Kamran will be captaining the team this Saturday, so please contact him if you have any questions or problems.

League Structure - 2012 Season

The club received the following e-mail about the proposed Wetherby League structure from 2012. 

"The Senior Cricket Committee have discussed the need to slightly change the league structure for next season so that we have six divisions as opposed to the current five and a half and we agreed that all clubs need to be informed of the change as soon as possible so everyone is aware of how many teams will be promoted and relegated this season.

We propose that no division shall consist of less than 10 teams and to increase the number of teams in division 6 for next season we will need to slightly reduce the teams in divisions 4 and 5. As it stands now we have 67 teams and based on this we propose the following:

·         Divisions 1 to 3 – unchanged with 12 teams in each division
·         Division 4 – reduced to 11 teams
·         Division 5 – reduced to 10 teams
·         Division 6 – increased to 10 teams

Obviously, this would reduce the number of league games for some teams but until we return to 72 teams it is very difficult for us to provide all teams with 22 league games per season. There will be an opportunity for teams to play additional games against those who also have blank league weeks if they prefer to do so which would limit the loss of fixtures/income. This will be looked at once the 2012 league fixture schedule has been finalised.

We believe that two teams should still be promoted from each division and the changes would be made by increasing the number of teams who are relegated (1 extra from division 4 and 3 extra from division 5).

We are actively seeking additional clubs/teams which may reduce the need to increase the number of teams relegated but until we have official applications we are working with what we currently have."

Thanks.....

A big thanks to the Leeds Golf Centre who have just donated to East Keswick CC one of their splendid grass mowers. This will mean that the outfield should look even more beautiful than it usually does. A big thanks to Leeds Golf Centre!
