SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER
Under 11s Create History with Grand Slam.
Their final game of the season on Sunday 30th August saw Stockton take on Saltburn in the North Yorkshire Cricket Association North v South Champions decider. Having already won the League, Gemara Cup, Regional Premier League and Indoor Kwik Cricket Stockton faced their toughest challenge yet as they chased their fifth trophy and the elusive Grand Slam. The game pitched together the two strongest sides in the area with Saltburn having won every game thus far and Stockton only suffering 1 defeat when holidays and county commitments robbed them of four first teamers.
Unsurprisingly the match was close and Stockton, batting first, struggled against very disciplined and impressive bowling. After the first 4 overs and having lost 3 wickets the score was minus 1, but thereafter with sensible and unflustered batting the score was moved onto 267 for 4 ( net 235 ) with positive contributions from Ben Stevenson (8), Ross Nicholson (8), Josh Sowerby (7), Tom Hewison (5) and Jack Burns (5).
Chasing 236 for victory Saltburn batted very correctly, hitting the occasional loose bowl to the boundary but Stockton's disciplined attack kept the pressure on the home team who by the end of the 12th over had reached 31 without loss. With 4 overs remaining and Saltburn needing only +5 to win Stockton turned to their opening attack of Matthew Gill and Ben Stevenson knowing that wickets were almost certainly needed for victory. They duly obliged taking four wickets, aided by a fine catch behind from Jack Burns and a run out following a quick pick up and throw from Luke Swann. Saltburn finished on 248 for 4 ( net 216 ) to see Stockton triumph again this time by 19 runs.
A fitting climax to a fantastic season.
Well done to all of the players for their excellent play and also their sportsmanship throughout the season. Many thanks to all the parents for their unstinting support and for helping out when required. To the club officials ( in particular Gordon and Paul Stevenson ) for their interest, encouragement, guidance and support and finally special praise to Parr family for their fine cuisine but in particular Dave without whom this success would not have been possible.
