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!

This was vital information because to get a result from a rain affected match 20...

29/05/2012 Ev reports from last night’s 20/20 league match. It goes thus: Nice merry little crowd up at Rose Green in the evening sunshine for this one. Cowboys batted first on a rock hard road of a strip and openers Ben and Neil had put on a respectable 33 after first 5 overs. Following a flurry of wickets things looked pretty sketchy at 65 for 5 in the 11th. However, we had recovered to 154 for 7 by the end, due to Mackies plucky 42 not out and Neils solid 30, backed up by an IPL inspired 20 from Jeff O, an express 12 runs from Omar...

27/05/2012 Dunc has sent the match report fot the Sunday 1st by semaphore. It reads thus (full scorecard): It can be said of tosses that some are good to win, some to lose. In 80 degrees, we think good to win, particularly against a 10 man Harptree side on a bouncy looking Frenchay track with merely the odd vestige of green. We batted and Neil and Justin toddle off from the shade neath the hastily fashioned tarp attached to and potentially demolishing bits of the shed/pavilion/changing room/smoking lounge. Various Cowboys grab an assortment...

Friendships won and lost, money squandered, reputations destroyed……… There is also a downside In crazy heat with much admiration of female fashion along the way we arrive in Flax...
