Tale Millers Cricket Club

Tale Millers Cricket Club It seems a good while ago now that the season ended with wins over our local rivals Cully Codgers and Clyst Hydon and a defeat to our current “bogey” team……………….nothing to do with noses……………….the Broadhembury Lions. After spending much of wet August trying to prepare the pitch and get a game on, it was a relief to get back on the pitch for a few games! As has become club tradition the end of the season was followed by a Hog Roast and camp fire with guitar strumming, dogs a roaming, and kids running round in […]

Just a reminder guys that we have an EXTRAORDINARY club meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the issue of a complaint received by EDDC from persons anonymous, concerning the horrifying thought that we’ve played cricket in a field without the correct planning permission. And put up a shed to change in. Wednesday 18th October 7.30pm in the Six Bells

Afternoon All With the season having well and truly ended, this Sunday at 10am we will be putting the ground to bed for the winter and handing it back to the sheep! With the hard work having been done in previous years, a good turn out will ensure we are all done by lunchtime, so if you can spare a few hours please come along and give us a hand. Even better, bring some cake to go with the coffee! On the job list are cutting the square and fencing off, taking the net down, cleaning out the club house, dealing […]

Well at 6 o’clock last night it was hammering down with four of us present for the end of season get together; by 7 the rains had abated and nigh on 100 folk, kids and dogs had turned out for a bleddy luverly evening – happy days! Congrats to Neil Chambers Alexander James Scott Jason Wood Will Wood and Ben Peters on winning the seasons awards and thanks to Janet and Ed East for a superb hog roast in tricky conditions. Sam Carden, Dan Rugg and Fred Ernest thanks for collecting the awards for those absent!

After over three weeks without a game thanks to the unpredictable nature of the weather, it was great to get back on the field at Plymtree last night and equally good to get a win against one of our local rivals. The wicket was low and slow but dried out during the evening. Millers batting first found the going tough but Brian Hammond ( 21 Ret) and the returning Roland ( 27 Ret) eeked out runs before Mark Hammett upped the rate with a fine knock of 25 unbeaten, to take us to a respectable 106-5. Postie brought along some […]

A busy old month for the village cricketers, but firstly we send best wishes to the doc, Paul Hynam, who in trying to heroically take a boundary catch at Cully not only dislocated his finger but also did something to a meta something resulting in some fine plaster work to his hand….I fear that is the end of his season. Additionally we send best wishes to Sicknote Scott, who has had his appendix removed and can’t do much useful as a result. Hopefully he returns to the fold betwixt now and the season’s end. Final best wishes go to Simon […]

Fullsys Allstars 148-6 , Millers 108-7 Fullsys won by 40 runs Whilst the celebrations of the Allstars didn’t quite match the belly slapping of the Broadhembury Lions a couple of weeks back, they thoroughly deserved their victory against a somewhat depleted Millers outfit. Having won the toss and chosen to bat, opener Andy Gillard proved a bleddy nuisance, continuously depositing leg side balls into and beyond the mighty Tale, apologizing very politely on each occasion. Our chairman had worn his wife’s socks ( nothing more, just socks) for the game and after crossing the river on one too many occasions […]
