Tale Millers Cricket Club

Afternoon All On Tuesday evening we travelled up the M5 into the darklands where King Alfred hid from the Vikings…………well it was somewhere up there. A very nice lady greeted us on arrival (sensing a weary traveller or two) with an offer of Tea and a custard cream…………….how jolly British. Whilst the chairman accepted this kind offer the rest of the squad loosened up, personally I think the custard cream was deserved as a perk for getting 10 fit chaps on the pitch plus sickly youngster Alex Scott. Poor chap looked so pale I could almost see through him. The Nyneheaders […]

Afternoon All Firstly congratulations to The Chiefs and The Grecians on their fantastic achievements in reaching Twickenham and Wembley and best of luck to both in finishing off their respective missions. Neither started their seasons with any conviction (City spent more days of the season in the relegation places than Hartlepool who were actually relegated ……………….. sorry you should know I’m full of useless stats!) making their achievements all the greater. We had a good turnout at the Communities Open Morning and signed up three social members and two potential playing members; thanks to Alex and Darcy for organising the […]

Quick update on the weeks activities on the cricket pitch. On Tuesday the Millers entertained the Cavendish Cavaliers, the Millers batting first on a stodgy not very bouncy wicket, Roland continuing his fine form of last season with an unbeaten 25, and Roger Goulding contributing a hard hit 28 not out with six boundaries, taking us to 86-6. At a different time of the season we might have been a tad disappointed with this total but with lack of bounce and good length grass in the outfield, it looked pretty competitive and so it proved as our Torbay based visitors […]
