Second team news

All fixtures start at 1.30pm.

11 September

We understand that Keyworth II have had their points adjusted and according to the latest division L table on the South Notts web site, Caythorpe IV are shown as champions with Wilsons II in 2nd place - congratulations to Vasim and his men.

30 August

The 2nd XI finished their season with a cracking win at home to then leaders Caythorpe IV.

Batting first at Regatta Way they were led by Amir Shazard with 87 out of a total of 169-8.

Caythorpe were then bowled out for just 110 with Amir following up his batting with 3-26 and former 1st teamers Steve Maxey and Tim Caldwell each taking 3 wickets.

Unfortunately the 1 batting point not obtained and the 3 points Caythorpe got for taking 8 wickets was just enough for Caythorpe to claim the 2nd promotion spot after Keyworth II picked up 20 points at home to Belton.

23 August

The 2nd XI kept their promotion hopes alive with a big win away at Thurgarton II. Batting first they scored 232-5 in 45 overs with Steve Maxey scoring 70, Jeff Moore 49 and Jamie Bownes 51 not out.

Steve then followed up his excellent batting taking 4-49 as Thurgarton were bowled out for 134.

Caythorpe look certain champions after crushing demoted Stanton whilst Keyworth remain 2nd after knocking up a club record score of 323-5 at Lambley then bowling out thie hosts for just 78.

16 August

The 2nds also won comfortably at 2nd placed Keyworth II by 83 runs. Tim Caldwell starred scoring 60 and taking 5-40.

Amir Shazard scored 63 not out as the 2nds posted 228-6. Steve Maxey also took 3-42 as Keyworth were bowled out for 145.

With 2 games left away at Thurgarton and at home to Belton, promotion is still on the cards.

9 August

All games in the SNCL were washed out.

2 August

The 2nds crashed away at Belton. Jamie Bownes took 3-39 in Belton's total of 146-7. But the batting collapsed and we were bowled out for just 85. However we remain 3rd in division L with 4 games to play (including a game at Keyworth).

Caythorpe IV remain top after beating Thurgarton II and Keyworth II stay in the promotion hunt after winning at Thrumpton by 9 wickets.

26 July

The 2nds got back to winning ways by comfortably beating bottom of the table Lambley at Regatta Way. Batting first Kish Patel hit 59 and Jamie Bowns 45 not out as the 2nds reached 203-5 off their 45 overs. Lambley were bowled out for 153 with Tom Wilson taking 6-36.

The win leaves the 2nds in 3rd place after Caythorpe took over top spot in beating previous leaders Keyworth by 6 wickets. Underwood leap frog Thrumpton after winning their clash by 25 runs in a low scoring game.

19 July

The 2nd XI once again struggled to score runs at home, this time to Long Whatton II as they were bowled out for 126 with Dave Nattrass top scoring with 32.

Hopeful of bowling out the opposition for under 100 as they had done in their previous 3 games, the 2nds bowled OK with Zane Naveed taking 3-26 but could not prevent Long Whatton getting home with 3 wickets in hand.

The defeat drops the 2nds to 3rd spot. Leaders Keyworth won at Thurgarton whilst promotion rivals Caythorpe took over 2nd spot having crushed Underwood by 115 runs.

12 July

Vasim finally won the toss at the 1st attempt and in overcast conditions bowling was the only option. The first wicket duly fell in the third over off Vasim due to a great catch from Vasim. Key wickets kept falling and the level of effort in the field was excellent. This meant that for the third week running we had bowled the opposition for under 100, with Thrumpton all out for 83. Vasim ending with 4, Iffy 3, Steve 3 and Mike Plant 1.

Wilsons being Wilsons the run chase was made hard work. A succession of careless dismissals meant we were 26-6. However with Jamie and Iffy at the crease the result was never in doubt. They saw us home in the 31st over for another excellent win to keep the pressure on Keyworth at the top.

5 July

The return of the old boys Dave Rose and Richard Odell saw the 2nds home with ease at Stanton-by-Dale. Stanton were put in by Vasim and struggled from the start. After 14 overs they were 17-5 with Rosey taking 4 wickets. A recovery was led by 44 from Chris Pack but after his dismissal to a brilliant caught and bowled by Kish Patel the innings subsided and Stanton were all out for just 98 - Tim Taylor taking 2 wickets in 7 balls to wrap up the innings.

Wilsons opened with Kish and Richard Odell. Stanton had to wait to the 14th over before they dismissed Kish for 33 with the score on 70. Two overs later the game was over as Gawain Bunnett hit 18 off 8 balls (including a 6 off the last ball) leaving Richard Odell at the other end 49 not out. Richard hit 3 sixes.

Keyworth take over at the top again after winning at Long Whatton whilst leaders Caythorpe lost again (this time at Belton) to drop to 6th.

28 June

A crushing 20 point win for Wilsons over top of the table Caythorpe. The home side were bowled out eventually for just 95 in 44 overs with Vasim taking 3-27. Wilsons made light work of the reply taking just 18 overs to reach their target for the loss of just 1 wicket. Abdul Hashid led the scorers with an unbeaten 63. Wilsons remain 3rd.

Elsewhere, Keyworth take over at the top after their victory at lowly Belton. Thrumpton won at home to Stanton whilst Underwood move up after beating Long Whatton. Lambley lost the bottom of the table clash against Thurgarton.

21 June

No game against Thurgarton II as Regatta Way pitch was unfit.

14 June

Jeff Moore hit yet another half-century scoring 57 in our total of 193-6 at home to leaders Keyworth II.

Iftikhar Ahmed hit 47 not out and Kish Patel 30.

In reply Keyworth were bowled out for 153 with Ifti taking 4-12 and Nadeem Ghani 4-32 and thus we picked up another 20 point haul.

Caythorpe beat Thrumpton and go back to the top of the table with Keyworth dropping to 2nd and Wilsons moving up to 3rd.

7 June

Another defeat this time at the hands of Underwood saw the 2nds drop further down the table to 5th with a won 3, lost 3 record. Jeff Moore scored 52 in our 167-9 off 40 overs but Craig Smithurst hit an unbeaten 63 to see the hosts home by 5 wickets and 2+ overs to spare.

Having played 4 and won 3 the 2nds were up to 2nd in the table chasing unbeaten Caythorpe.

3 May

A poor start to the season as 3 wickets from Jamie Bowns and an unbeaten 58 from Tom Moore was not enough at Thrumpton.

We could only score 125-6 in 45 overs and fell 17 runs short of their target.
