U13’s vs. Heyford

By Mark Bird | May 25, 2016

The Cook’s U13s welcomed Heyford U13s to Compton Park just as a thunderstorm began to roll around the ground.  The lightning and rain followed but soon passed sufficiently to allow play to begin.  Alex Bushell replaced his brother James in the starting lineup and skipper Alfie won the toss again and invited Heyford to bat. […]

U11’s vs. West Haddon & Guilsborough

By Mark Bird | May 25, 2016

The Cooks U11s had the unenviable task of playing both West Haddon & Guilsborough [WHG] this weekend at the home of cricket (thankfully they were only allowed 8 players the same as us!).  After Bugbrooke had conceded the previous week, this was the first game for two weeks for the U11s. Yet again Cogenhoe won […]

A day to forget.

By Allan Packer | May 23, 2016

On a cloudy breezy day the Cooks visited the Buckinghamshire village of Emberton to take on Wollaston Thirds. Skipper Mark won the toss (third time lucky!) and chose to bowl on a greenish strip which looked likely to give the bowlers some assistance. The first 20 overs (77-3) went reasonably to plan with the three […]

Many positives, despite defeat.

By Allan Packer | May 10, 2016

Marks first duty on the field was to lose the toss and being asked to bowl first, something that was not surprising […]
