Sunday 27 April 2025.

the sun is shining, the ale is flowing,   the sound of leather on willow is echoing, and all is well   with the world. 

 

welcome to amesbury avenue, for my first cricket of 2025. 1st round waddilove cup action. knock out cup for teams in the aire wharfe league. thackley currently 90 for 3 after 20 of an allotted 45 overs vs skipton. 

both teams ply their trade in division 3 of this league. 


 mid innings break at amesbury lane, and thackley rack up an impressive 347 for 7 off 45 overs. skipton requiring a run rate of 7,5 to chase this one down. thackley were 80 for 3, but that was as good as it got for skiptom, before a 132 run 4th wicket partnership between robbie williams who departed for 51. 100 runs later followed overseas pro from brisbane nick burford, 176 with 22 4s and 9 6s. 3 for 51 best of the bowlers. 

skipton already 7 for 1 off 3 overs. 


result from amesbury Avenue,  and thackley through to the next round with a resounding 157 run win over visitors skipton, who  they bowled out for 190. although the margin  of defeat could have been far worse, as skipton were 65 for 6, before partnerships of 32 and 69 for the 7th and 8th wickets respectively. top scores of 59, 39 and 33. wickets shared around amongst the thackley bowlers. 

a great start to   my long cricketing summer.
