Notts/Lincs Air ambulance

Following the Twenty/20 event on the 20th June, £2,000 was raised for the Notts/Lincs Air Ambulance in memory of Matthew. This was handed over to the air ambulance on Saturday 26th July (see pictures on the website). The helicopter was due at 12:30 but due to call outs didn’t arrive until 13:50. Thanks go to the Umpires and the lads from Killamarsh who stopped the game for 20 minutes to allow the helicopter to land so that the cheque could be handed over and for the spectators to have a look inside the helicopter(although it must be said that it missed the circle Thrower had drawn for it!!!!).



Race for Life

Julie, Stef, Ellis and Fran managed to get round the 5km race for Life course on Sunday in the summer heat wave we were experiencing. This was in aid of Cancer Research and we are hoping to raise £1,000+, there is still time to sponsor us and so please just fill in the form that is at the clubhouse or email me to contribute to this worthy charity.



Games this weekend


Saturday 2nd August

1st XI are away to Plumtree.

The 1st Team could only manage a winning draw against struggling Killamarsh last weekend, despite Brad Matthews hitting 66 and Kosie hitting 69; it is still very tight at the top of the table and so will make an exciting last 7 weeks!


2nd XI are at home to Ransome and Marles

The 2nd team lost against Welbeck on Saturday. However congratulations to Steve Thomas (64) and Rich Arberry (50)


3rd XI are away to South Normanton

The 3rds won against Basford Mill CC by 109 runs last weekend. Big congratulations to the Martin Mitchell who was 200 not out and Curtis Mitchell who scored 67.


Sunday 3rd August


The Sunday XI game at Sleaford was rained off just before tea….yes you read right…. rained off!!!! Although Hucknall and the surrounding areas saw sun all day, it went very dark and thundery at Sleaford and it absolutely chucked it down just before tea time and so there was no choice but to abandon the game!


This week the Sunday side play Balderton at Burntstump due to the Premier League Twenty/20 competition being played at Papp.



Papp, Kimberly and Cavaliers will play in the Twenty/20 competition with games starting at 10.30. 1.30 & 4.30. There will be bacon/sausage cobs and burgers throughout the day (weather permitting) and so why not come and spend the day at the home of cricket!



For full fixture information for senior and junior games for the rest of the week please visit the website www.papplewickandlinbycc.co.uk



Cope Cup Final – 23rd July

Unfortunately Papp lost in the final of the Cope Cup against Radcliffe, it was a tight game going to the last over, but wasn’t to be for our boys.



Spencer Cup

It wasn’t a great week for Papp as they also lost their first game in this local competition to Kimberley on Friday (25th July), however we still need to play Hucknall, Rolls Royce and Newstead (dates to be decided).

Cockspur Cup Exit...

Unfortunately last Sunday saw Papplewick exit the Cockspur cup at the Group final stage of the competition at the hands of Ockbrook. It was an immense atmosphere and a great game to watch with only a few runs in it. The game was interrupted by the rain on more than one occasion but it didn't dampen the Fantastic effort by both teams. Credit has to be given to the groundstaff who were off and on all day. Great work boys.
Good luck to Ockbrook in there next game in the competition, now lets go on and win the league Papplewick!

Huge weekend for the club!

We are now halfway through the season and so come and show your support for the players with the games this weekend!



Let’s hope the dreadful weather forecast is wrong! It is suppose to be summer after all!


Saturday 5th July

1st XI are at home to Wollaton. The 1st Team are sitting in joint first place with Caythorpe, after a winning draw against Cuckney last week. Pam is on Tea duty (again) but that does probably mean some home made pies on the tea table which will go down a treat with a mug of tea at teatime.


2nd XI are away to Whitwell’s 1st XI. Congratulations to John Thrower who took 6 wickets last weekend in his 13 overs against Worksop CC. Sadly this wasn’t enough for the 2nd Team, and they had to be content with a loosing draw.


3rd XI are away to Woodsetts Community CC, there was no 3rd Team game last weekend for Papp which saw Todwick win their game and go to the top of the table, however it does mean that the 3rd XI have a game in hand on their rivals but are now 18 points behind the leaders.


Sunday 6th July – is Cockspur Cup Day!!!!!

No Sunday League game this weekend but the 1st XI play in the Group 2 final in the Cockspur Cup. Pap are the only Nottinghamshire side still in the competition and a win on Sunday would mean that we progress through to the National Stages of the competition, where an away fixture to Uddingston CC or Chester Le Street CC would be calling.



This is a huge game for the cricket club and we would like as many members as possible to come along and support the team. John Treece will have his apron on behind the BBQ and the Bar will be open all day. COME ON PAP!!!!!
