Gilberdyke
under 15s put in a very good performance in their opening league fixture
of the season on a cold and damp evening at Ings View.
HICE batting first posted a challenging 121-2 with the first five batsmen
all getting into double figures before retiring, the only wicket taker was
Lewis Rooney who finished with 1-11 off his two overs. Eleven bowlers were
used in total with extras being the top score.
In reply Stephen Butterfield and Craig Whitehouse got the innings off to a
good start with Craig hitting 3x4s and 1x6 in his 25 not out, Alex
Mcconville in his first game for the club impressed with some powerful
strokes and finished with a very good 24 not out (4x4s). It was left to
the Bonser brothers Tom and Daniel to ensure that no further wickets fell
and both were not out in the end after a useful partnership. Extras were
once again the top score as the home side managed to finish a creditable
16 runs short.
Overall a good performance considering very few had been able to practice
since last season and on this showing the boys should be very competitive
this season. |

Gilberdyke
juniors again showed much improvement when they came very close to causing
a big shock by nearly defeating an older and more experienced South Cave
side on what was a very cold evening.
Batting first Gilberdyke found runs hard to come by with Craig Whitehouse
scoring the first runs off the bat having come in at number five. His
brief innings made him top scorer with 16, captain Jamie Drinkwater held
the innings together batting through to the end for a very patient 3 Not
Out, Daniel Bonser was the next highest scorer with 3. All the thirteen
players got an opportunity to bat at some stage, although some failed to
score any runs they will have benefited by spending some time out in the
middle.
54 looked a very easy target for the home team but the Gilberdyke bowlers
all bowled well with Tom Bonser, Alex McConville and Craig Whitehouse all
taking a wicket each, but the star performance came from Simon Beevers
with figures of 3-8 off his two overs, easily his best bowling
figures for the club. A mention too for Oliver Starkey in his first game
of the season who kept wicket tidily and took an excellent diving catch.
All in all another encouraging performance as individuals are beginning to
show an improvement as they get a better understanding of the game through
playing, however, It is of the utmost importance that the juniors attend
the regular practice sessions held on Sunday mornings if they wish to
continue with their development.
No fixture on the 19th May, Blackburn Welfare at home on the 26th May.

Gilberdyke v Blackburn
Welfare (Thurs 26th May 05) |
| Gilberdyke 81 - 6 (20 overs) |
Blackburns Welfare 82 - 5 (14 overs) |
A
much changed Gilberdyke team containing three players making their first
appearanced for the club, put up another good performance against League
newcomers Blackburn Welfare on a sunny evening at Ings View.
Batting first Gilberdyke scored 81-6 despite losing their two opening
batsmen without scoring. Guy Evison in his first game for the club showed
his potential with a useful 17, Tom Bonser also made his highest score
with 10 before being bowled. Brother Daniel Bonser scored 5 which included
his first ever four which very nearly went for six, a reasonable total
should have been much higher but for some hesitant calling, backing up and
running between the wickets, the club coaches will be working on this and
other aspects of the game with the players over the coming weeks.
Blackburns got off to a flying start by scoring very quickly off most of
the bowlers, a lot of shots went in the air just over or out of reach of
the fielders, however, all the bowlers stuck to their task and were
rewarded with five wickets between them, wicket takers were Lewis Rooney,
Alex McConville, Jason Douthwaite in his first game for the club, Tom
Bonser who rounded off a good game for himself and Simon Beevers.
Despite the defeat with six overs to go the improvement is there for all
to see as they begin to look and play as a team. Junior players are also
reminded to attend the junior coaching session held on Sunday mornings
commencing at 10.15.
No game next week due to half term.
Next fixture June 09th V Welton (Away)
Under 12s fixture V South Cave at home will also be played during the
above week, date to be arranged.

South Cave won
On a sunny evening at Ings View Gilberdyke U15s went down to defeat against a stronger and more experienced South Cave team.
Gilberdyke got off to a good start with Jason Douthwaite and Craig Whitehouse sharing a good opening partnership until Craig was out for 9 which included a big six over square leg, Jason continued the good work until he fell for a very good 21 (4x4s).
Other useful contributions then came from Jamie Drinkwater with 10 retired and Guy Evison with a quick 12 all in boundaries. A noticable improvement in calling and running between the wickets enabled them to eventually post a creditable 97.
The South Cave reply got off to a very poor start when Jason Douthwaite removed two batsmen in two balls with two very good deliveries, however that was the end of the wicket taking as the rest of the batsmen all scored runs to reach their target with six overs to go, eight Gilberdyke bowlers were used in total with the wicketless Craig Whitehouse being the most economical.
Overall another much better all round performance despite the defeat, batsmen are beginning to score runs and the fielding and backing up is showing great improvement.
No game this week, next game 07th July Blackburn Welfare away.

Gilberdyke Won
In
a thrilling contest in arguably the best ever junior fixture since the
club entered the Hunsley League, Gilberdyke juniors won by 3 wickets with
one ball to spare.
A sunny evening at Blackburn Welfare was the setting for an excellent game
of cricket, the Gilberdyke bowlers all stuck to the task in restricting
the home side to 119-8, the wicket takers were Guy Evison 2-11 off 3 overs,
with Alex McConville, Chris Watson, Josh Chapman and Craig Whitehouse
sharing the other wickets to fall. In the field the ground fielding and
backing up again continues to impress, the bowling was controlled with
only a few wides conceded compared to previous games.
In reply Craig Whitehouse again held the top order of the innings together
as wickets fell around him, he eventually retired having scored a very
good 28 (5x4s), Guy Evison gave him some support with his 10, however the
match winning innings came from Josh Chapman in his first game for the
club, as wickets began to tumble around him in the chase for runs he kept
a steady head and played a mature innings. He finished with 19 not out and
was helped by Daniel Bonser who confidently steered the side to victory in
a nail biting finish with one ball to spare.
A memorable game of cricket, played in a sporting manner on a beautiful
summers evening. Well done boys. |

HICE
won
In
a rearranged game against HICE, the juniors went down to defeat against a
more experienced and older HICE side.
Gilberdyke managed to make a respectable total of 80 mainly thanks to
contributions from Tom Bonser with 15 (3x4s) in his best innings to date
and Alex McConville with 18 (4x4s), Josh Chapman ran out of partners at
the end and finished with 5 not out.
With a fast outfield and small boundaries 80 was always going to be a
difficult total to defend. Victory was reached after 13 overs with a few
scares on the way. Four wickets fell, with one each to Josh Chapman, Guy
Evison and brothers Tom and Daniel Bonser.
Despite the defeat there was much to be pleased about from the overall
performance of the team, improvements can be seen in most of the
youngsters which bodes well for the future. |
