Cardiff Northern Cricket Club

As I type the sun is shining and the sky blue. But nevertheless the game this evening is already off.  This apparently has been the worst summer in the history of the league for games cancelled.

To summarize we should have played 23 matches this season (plus the friendly at St Fagans).  We actually played 10 games, won 2 by forfeit and had 11 off.  We played on friendly on a rained off day and we played one on a forfeit day (which was rained off before the end).  Pretty pathetic all told.

Final league table will be up soon but I’m guessing at about 6th or 7th of 10.  Plus we had the only draw in the entire league season.

Last night’s game resulted in a forfeit by 25th Scimitar Cavaliers so Northern pick up maximum points.

EDIT: In all the drama of the weather we didn’t twig that no-one finished that night hence the games all go down as not played and we don’t get the forfeit victory.

Last night saw Northern play a friendly in the picturesque surroundings of St Fagans. It was a good game and both sides enjoyed it.

Official winners were Peterston by one run but this was after Northern let their last man bat out the remaining over and he scored 24 from it! Also in totting up the card later I’m sure Peterston actually had 2 less than they wrote down so we did get a moral victory.
