Maiden century for Tom Moore

Tom Moore on his 22nd birthday hit his first century when scoring 111 not out against Walton-on-the-Wolds at Regatta Way on Sunday. He just failed by 1 run to equal his father Jeff's best Wilsons score of 112.

Popkess Cup

Wilsons first match proper in this season's Popkess Cup was against Rolls Royce and with only 10 players the possibility of progressing looked bleak.

Defeat looked all the more likely as we collapsed to a typical 32-4. Managing to crawl up to 90-9 the 11th player (Phil Herd) had now turned up after an emergency phone call. He put on a majestic 36 with Zain, both hitting magnificent boundaries and scampering for barely deserved singles. This left us with a total of 126 which was at least defendable.

Then the fireworks began - Ifti and Zain ripped through the top order leaving them 7-5 off 8 overs. Although they had a few partnerships along the way the remaining wickets were taken with great catching and determined fielding. A magnificent effort by all those playing.

We were drawn at home to West Bridgfordians in the semi-final on Sunday 17 August. Unfortunately our participation in the Popkess Cup ended at the semi-final stage when we were beaten by local rivals West Bridgfordians at Regatta Way.

West Bridgfordians scored 250-4 with Iftikhar Ahmed the pick of the Wilsons' bowlers taking 3-39.

In reply, Nabil Syed scored 60 and Abdul Hasib 57 but it was not enough as we were eventually bowled out for 191.
