Welcome to Church Fenton Cricket Club Online
This has been a lousy year for cricket because of the weather. The first team finally ended the season in mid-table. We had lost too many players from the previous years championship winning team and we continued to lose players over the season to work and other reasons. As a result players were continually being pulled in from the second team. Our thanks go to Ben Durrant, our overseas player from Australia, who had an excellent year bowling off spin. His batting was a bit dodgy though, as I've been informed by some correspondence from Australia, dodgy is apparently a definate improvement from the norm. We hope he enjoyed his year here. The first team did get into the final of the Sunday Cup but, because of the weather, it wasn't played being cancelled on 2 or 3 occasions and this game has been put over to the beginning of next season.
The second team somehow contrived not to be relegated from division 3. From the beginning of July to the end of the season we played 5 games of cricket with 6 games being cancelled. With 2 games to go we dropped into relegation position second from bottom, 1 point behind Barwick and Wetherby. We didn't play either of the last two matches and picked up 2 points for each for draws. Our last match away against St Chads couldn't be played because the pitch was boggy following flooding the previous week. Barwick played Wetherby on the final saturday and, with Barwick winning, Wetherby got 0 points and were relegated.
I will endeavour to bring the rest of the website up to date over the next few days.
