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!

22/07/2012 The full scorecard is here. it was a long way to go…it was very hot, the skies were clear the sun beat down. from moaning about the frigging or do i mean fucking? weather for months, at the first opportunity i moved the scorers bench into the shade. after a certain amount of consultation it was decided that batting first gave us a chance to post a score, keep out of the sun and avoid staring down the barrel of 300 runs. safari so good. we even won the toss, and then the journey began, or to be more exact, the brief outing....

21/07/2012 The Saturday Team beat Churchways by 2 wickets. The full scorecard is here. Ah, Child! Let me tell you of a time when the Cowboys played the away fixture against Churchways, way back before the great flood. The Cowboys were 51 for 5 at drinks and limped to 122. The foe then went out and waved the bat with great flamboyance and gay abandon but in the end they self-destructed and the Cowboys narrowly won the day. After a run of 6 games which were given to the weather, what is this large shining orb in the sky? What is this strangely...

15/07/2012 The full scorecard is here but apparently the match is still in progress. sunday sunday so good for me…. and, lo and bloody behold it lived up to it’s moniker and was a belter. time for a game of cricket, which i was beginning to think was a winter sport or even a water sport. time to play the league leaders, bristol lions, a team full of sri lankans. i decided to field if we won the toss. i lost the toss and their captain said they would bat so quickly it was almost insulting. it didn’t matter though, to have any...

The Saturday Team were rained off again making it 6 lost to the rain on the trot and 7 in total. All of the games in Saturday Div. 3 were cancelled as well, apart from the odd case of Harptree Vrs Avonside which was awarded as a walk over to Avonside because: “Harptree unable to fulfil the fixture because of bereavement.” This means that the Cowboys and Stanton Drew have closed the gap and are joint leaders on 32 point with the unfortunate (and it appears very honest) Harptree. The Sunday 1st Team lost to Stother & Pitt. The...
