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!

The League of Exhausted Genitals
27/05/2012 The Satuday Team beat Nailsea 3rds by 5 wickets. The full scorecard is here. Now, last season when the Cowboys Saturday Team (a.k.a. The League of Exhausted Genitals) played Bath at Windford on a hot day, it went like this: the foe batted first, their openers got off to a good start, then the batting collapsed and they were all out for a low target, the Cowboys wobbled in the chase until Kahlu biffed a few 6s and we won. So this season our first match a Winford went in much the same fashion. Of course the forces of verbosity will...

25/05/2012 The wire was down between Easton and Oldbury Court and so this repost has only just filtered through. The Sunday 1st Team beat Bristol Banglideshis by 2 wickets. The full score card is here. Dunce reports thus: Oldbury Court, a vista of newly foliated trees atop which sit such beauties as the great spotted woodpecker. Gleeful children capering and frollicking around the swing park, their parents looking on with loving gaze. This is the backdrop to the hummocky cricket pitch that still, gladly, takes up a tiny part of our council...

20/05/2012 The Saturday Team beat Churchways 1st Team by 8 runs. The full score card is here. The reoprt goes thus: This is the one where the Cowboys fluffed it, clawed it back, threw it away and then plucked the sweet smelling rose of victory from the malodorous manure of defeat. The day got off to an inauspicious start when Garnier was grounded by the flight controller but Angelo was parachuted in to replace him. According to the fantasy cricket rules I think this means that Garnier gets placed into administration and will be sold off to...
