NewsPage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Sep 5, 2010, 6:43 pm Another win for the in-form 1st XI Bates 1st XI 10th win of the season over Alnmouth cemented our place in the Premier League for the 2011 season. A tremendous opening burst from Telford and Kilner reduced the Northumbrian's to 4 down very quickly, leaving stand-in skipper Symington to sustain the pressure with 4 for 20, ably assisted by Cragg with his wily off-spin. Only Vickers gave sustained resistance, with 6 boundaries in his 43. A last wicket stand of over 40 gave them some hope, 123 being the final total. Despite losing Tulip early, Welch and Symington scored brightly and steadied the innings, but not even a 3 wicket burst from Neil could dent the Bears' charge, Welch continuing his remarkable season with another 50 by hitting his 9th four to arrive at the target comfortably. Man of the Match: Ross Symington (4 for 20 and 27 runs) Sep 4, 2010, 8:37 pm Close game at Bomarsund Welfare Winning the toss, Bates 2nd XI decide to bat under sunny skies in Bomarsund. After a solid start, 2 quick wickets fell, leaving D.Robinson and Gibson to steady the ship, putting on a solid 52 for the 3rd wicket. Bomarsund tried to stem the flow of runs with a dual spin attack, Scope being impressive until hit for a classy lofted four over extra cover by Gibson. Drinks proved the turning point, Gibson rocking back to pull a short delivery from Peacock that never rose, trapping him in front LBW for 27. After a disastrous run out for D.Robinson, Bates were in real trouble, and eventualy fell all out for 114. Needing only 9 points to secure the Championship, Bomar looked confident, but superb opening spells from R.Elliott (3 for 25) and captain G.Dennis (1 for 20) reduced Bomar to 24 for 4. Scope and Storey dug in, and once they saw the opening bowlers off, they coasted towards the winning runs. Scope eventually fell after an entertaining knock, but Storey stood firm and hit the winning runs with a cheeky sweep off middle stump off Gibson's first ball for four. A deserved Championship for Bomarsund, but Bates can hold their heads high as they exit for Division B2 and a period of rebuilding for the clubs prodigious youth programme!

Bellway will hopefully be the company who will be responsible for building the new extension which will be completed by summer 2010, in time for the 2010 season. It will hopefully enhance the club further and will attract more players to the club which can only enhance the club even more on the field. We are now just waiting on Bellway to accept the job and then pricing the job. Apr 3, 2009, 8:56 pm Just to let everyone know that Bates have submitted plans for a possible extension to the rear of the pavilion. The plans can be seen in the pavilion on the notice board. Following the success of the last extension, which was built by our very own Lee and Rob Frost. The club is in a very good shape both on and off the field with Bob Fenwick carrying on from the great work done by Brian Sanderson for a number of years. It is hopefully gonna be another great step towards the right direction, with the season coming fast lets hope that the direction is also carried out on the field. |
