A pleasantly warm sunny day welcomed Kettering Town III to Compton Park. The game soon fell to the familar pattern of recent games, the opposition bat, their openers struggle against fine bowling (in this case Tony and Sid) but still compile a fifty plus partnership. Once the breakthrough was made, change bowlers Skipper Mark and […]

Second XI vs. Brixworth Skipper Mark won the toss, and elected to bowl on a grassy, but flat, St David’s track. The Cooks, with three changes, welcomed back a fit again (hopefully) Tony Bird and with the resilient Sid Mason they opened the attack with Brixworth’s Halford intent on playing his shots from the start. Unfortunately […]

First XI vs. Great Oakley (23rd July) Cogenhoe CC 1st XI eventually travelled to Great Oakley, via Overstone……. Twice! As the “Team Bus” (Gareth’s Scenic) had to return to Cogenhoe when umpire Malc rang, reminding the skipper he’d forgotten our much adored, long suffering umpire. In the absence of Captain/Memory Man/Coach Driver Gareth, Vice Captain […]

vs. Burton Latimer Two weeks ago the Cooks fell agonisingly short in a run chase at Burton Latimer. After restricting  Burton Latimer to a modest total of 143 for 9 after their 45 overs. This included personal best figures of 13-6-7-20 by Nick Lester. Some days everything happens all at once with Nick also featuring in the […]

A pleasantly warm summers day at Compton Park for the local derby against Wollaston Thirds. Skipper Mark lost the toss and it was no surprise the visiting captain chose to bat in conditions that looked to favour the batsmen. Mark and (the fit again) Sid opened the bowling, a good length and line by both […]

A bumper crowd was in place for the Cooks U11s final match of the season at Compton Park against Northampton Saints. Team news saw a debut for Mikey Smith replacing George Thompson who had been called up into Sam Allardyce’s first England squad.  Saints won the toss and decided to have a bat on the […]

An enforced ground change to the grand surroundings of Northampton School for Boys saw the return fixture against Hardingstone. The Cooks made three changes from the previous week welcoming back Ryan, Alfie and Tony to the fold. Skipper Mark lost the toss and the hosts chose to bat on what appeared to be a flat wicket. […]

Overstone Park were the penultimate visitors of the season to Compton Park, and in true 2016 fashion…it rained, but only for about 5 minutes and the match started on time. Skipper Jake won the toss again and asked Overstone to bat.   What followed next was without doubt the best bowling & fielding performance of the […]

The last match of the season and the pitch at Overstone was in super nick as the U13s prepared to take on a perennially strong opponent.  Having won the toss, Alfie invited Overstone to bat. As it was the last game, everyone who wanted to bowl was getting a couple of overs and with the […]

Morning showers had passed through Compton Park to leave warm breezy, cloudy conditions for the return fixture with Old Wellingburians second string. Two changes from the previous week with familiar faces returning to the fold Smokey (not on the water) and Ashley Davis. The visitors who won the toss after deliberations, chose to bowl on […]
