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!

Below is my failed attempt to write a match report in the style of ‘The Story of Hiawatha’ by Longfellow (lucky chap): Should you ask me, whence these stories?

I should answer, I should tell you, From the boozers and the taverns, From the talkers of the bollocks, From the...

27/06/2012 Up to Frenchay Hospital to play their league T20 side in persistent drizzle, on a wicket of the artificial variety and an outfield strewn with soggy grass cuttings which resembled a huge green moulting dog. Winning the toss Cowboys opted to bowl and dismissed the foe for what seemed a paltry 83. Highlights included a great spell from RT1 with 2 wickets, a nonchalant high speed caught and bowled by Garnier some good early pace from RT2 and niggly bowling from Iggy. Also noteworthy was SteveO barging the square leg umpire aside to...

All of the cricket was rained off over the weekend. The Saturdays did at least manage to start thier match. The full scorecard can be found here. How on Earth could people on such a miserably wet island invent a game that requires dry conditions to play. After two weekends without cricket a rusty Saturday Team emerged, blinking, into something that wasn’t quite sunlight and headed for Harptree Villages. On arrival in West Harptree Uberpops immediately upset a local by asking for directions to the cricket pitch, which it turns out is in East...

Dunc’s match report from the Sunday 1st Team rained off match reads thus: Jubilee Clipped. An agreeable if not sun drenched Somerset village scene awaited the visit of the Easton Cowboys Sunday 1st eleven, no doubt with near immeasurable titillation.Much of the population of Britain had had typical behavior suspended this weekend, replaced by Royalism beyond the usual call of duty even in this, alas, Sceptred Isle. Red white and blue bunting and Union flags adorn sticks and strings in a display of patriotism apparently designed to raise...
