Week 15 - Results

The 1st XI cruised to an impressive 9 wicket win against 3rd place St Chads Broomfield thanks to a superb bowling performance with Muhammad Kamran taking 3 for 21 and Man of the Match Bidyke Utchay flattening the Chads batting with an impressive 6-14. It left Chads reeling at 49 all out and Keswick knocked the runs off for the loss of one wicket as Farooq Maniyar continued his fine form with a well made 35.

The 2nd XI went down by just 12 runs to top of the table Wighill despite only have 10 men. Some fine bowling and fielding saw Wighill dismissed for just 112. In reply Tony Watson dug in for a well made 30 and Nagarjuna and Zuzu making contributions of their own to keep Keswick within reach of victory. In the end the 10 men told as the 2nd XI went down a dozen runs short.

Week 14 - Result

The 1st XI came up short on Saturday as they went down by just 7 runs to Rufforth.

A very good fielding and bowling performance saw Keswick keep Rufforth to a small target of just 132 for 8 from 45 overs with Bidyke Utchay taking 4-17, Ravi Teja 2-12, Kamran 1-11 and Zaheer Abbas 1-32.

In reply Keswick got within touching distance thanks to 47 from Keswick's Man of The Match Utchay and 36 from Farooq. Despite only needing 32 to win and having 6 wickets in had the Keswick batting order crumbled, losing four wickets for no runs and coming up 7 runs short in a disappointing loss.

With promotion chasing St Chads the opposition this Saturday Keswick will be looking to show a bit more grit in a potentially good batting department if they want to record their first win since the opening match of the season.

1st XI vs. Sherburn CC - Game called off

The 1st team game against Sherburn has been called off as the outfield is covered in puddles.

2nd XI vs Sicklinghall Away Called Off

As a mark of respect to Mark Ramprakash's retirement this week all games in the UK have been called off. This is in no way related to the 50ml plus of rain we have had this last two days.

1st XI still waiting to confirm.
