NEW TEAM – NEW PLAYERS WANTED!
The Easton Cowfolk Cricket Club was formed in 2022 to reastablish a cricket team to represent the wider club. After having had a year of net sessions and a few friendlies, we have now entered The North Somerset Cricket League for the 2023 season. The League is a Sunday league of 40 over games that takes place from May through to September. The home pitch will be at the Rose Green centre in Whitehall. Cricket nets during the season will also be at Rose Green.
We are looking for players to join whether it be just for nets, a few games or the whole season. The League is an adult league for over 14’s, however we are happy for under 14’s to attend nets with appropriate adult supervision. Membership is open to all under the Easton Cowfolk Clubs principals of anti- racist, anti-sexist, anti-fascist, anti-homophobic and anti-transphobic. We respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will treat everyone equally regardless of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status.
Absolute beginners welcome!

Hope
At Bristol West Indies on Sunday Big Tall Dave Toole’s mid-week 20/20 side took on the Cowboys in a 30/30 friendly match. However, since they were a few players short, and since the Cowboys like them, Grove and RT1 played for Hope. It should also be pointed out that Grove and RT1 are fickle turncoats. Hope batted first and Toole and a bloke called Nigel strode manfully to the crease. Toole biffed a quick 18 and then was out to a very lame caught and bowled to Ubberpops. Grove then strode out and was out to a very lame leg-side dismissal off...

18/08/2012 The Saturday Team were beaten by Stanton Drew by 116 runs. The full scorecard can be found here. Stanton Drew is a hot place that smells suspiciously of sulphur. It is set in England’s Green and pleasant land but is packed with dark satanic milliners selling all manner of evil head wear. There are several stone circles at Stanton Drew which are, according to local legend, wedding guests that danced to the Devil’s fiddle playing on a Saturday night but did not stop as midnight passed and they continued to dance into the Lord’s day....

11/08/2012 The Saturday Team beat Wrington by 9 wickets. Read the full scorecard here. As the good Eastonites met outside The Promised Plough they expressed surprise that they had not received the customary email confirming selection. In fact each of the team had just turned up out of force of habit assuming they had been picked. But where was Green Gibbo? After a bemused wait the Celestial Nisan Micra came into view and Green Gibbo appeared among the Eastonites. “Why did you not pick a team” asked the Eastonites of Green Gibbo. “Well I did....

So is summer over already. 28/07/2012 The Saturday Team lost to Nailsea 3rds by 6 wickets (although it is more fair to say with one ball left). The full scorecard is here. The match repot is below. 29/07/2012 The Sunday 1st Team beat Harptree by 85 runs. The Cowboys hit 229 for 8 as RT2 hit 78 and Dunc hit 43.
