Games this weekend

Saturday 30th August

1st XI are away to Clifton. Another big game for the 1st XI lets hope they can see off the Clifton boys who are lead by ex Pap player Simon Roberts. It was a big weekend last week, with the 1st XI playing title chasers Caythorpe. The 1st XI lost the toss (again!) and were put in to bat. The runs were coming until the middle order had a bit of a wobble and we lost 5 wickets for 7 runs (127 for 8), however another 30 runs were put on the board and we finished up on 157. Some cynics round the ground thought that wasn’t going to be enough, but as Julie Rhodes said all we needed to do was bowl well, and we did! Wickets fell steadily with Daffy and Charlie seeing off the top order and some excellent field work from the lads. Kosie took the next 3 wickets and they were 94 for 9. It was left to Jim to mop up the last wicket with a catch from Charlie leaving Caythrope 98 all out! There were a few Whoop whoops from the crowd and a few drinks throughout the evening to celebrate the win. Papplewick and Linby CC - 1st XI Won by 59 runs



2nd XI are at home to Eckington The 2nd team lost their game to Caythorpe 2nds last saturday. Papp batted first but were soon in trouble at 55 for 5. The innings took a complete turn when Mick Henley threw caution to the wind and smashed the ball to all parts before being caught behind for 53. The innings finished in the 44th over as Papp were all out for a respectable 155, in return Caythorpe started well, but Mick henley then continued his fine performance as he sparked a mini collapse taking 3 for 26 from his 11 overs, however the winning runs were scored in the 41st over which gave Caythorpe the maximum 20 points. Caythorpe CC, Notts - 2nd XI Won by 5 wickets



The 2nd team also played on Bank Holiday Monday at the home of cricket against Welbeck 2nd’s Papp reached 198 for 8 but couldn’t get the last man for Welbeck who ended up on 161 for 9. Papplewick and Linby CC - 2nd XI Winning Draw



3rd XI are at home (Burntstump) to South Normanton The 3rds had another win last weekend against East Drayton. The 3rd team batted first and were bowled out for 142. in return East Drayton could only manage 56. Papplewick and Linby CC - 3rd XI Won by 86 runs



3rd’s also played on Bank Holiday Monday against Manton. Another win for the 3rd team saw them need only 13 points to win the league and be promoted as champions! Papplewick and Linby CC - 3rd XI Won by 5 wickets

Games this weekend

Saturday 23rd August

1st XI are home to Caythorpe. After a bit of a shock defeat against Mansfield Hosiery Mills last weekend, the 1st team have no time to be licking their wounds as they play title chasing Caythorpe at home. The 1st Team need to win this weekend to keep their own title dreams alive. Come on lads!



2nd XI are away to Caythorpe 2nd’s The 2nd team beat Mansfield Hosiery Mills 2nd XI last weekend. Alfies team batted first and put 247 on the board with Steve Thomas hitting 69 and Tim Clarke 62. In reply MHM were bowled out for 87 (19 of these were extras) Johnny Thower ended up with 6 wickets. Well done JT.



3rd XI are away to East Drayton The 3rds had a winning draw against Weston last weekend. Papplewick batted first and scored 240 (all out) with Curtis Mitchell hitting 74 and Adam Betteridge 82. In reply Weston reached 186 before running out of overs. The 3rds now have quiet a lead at the top of the league table



Sunday 24th August

No Sunday game this weekend. Last weekend the Sunday side took the journey to Balderton, however 5 minutes away from the ground a phone call was received to say the game was off due to an unfit wicket, the prospect of spending a whole Sunday with the other half was probably a bit to much for Jim, seeing as he had spent the last week with her in Norfolk, and so he told the lads to carry on the journey and that we would have a look at the wicket! Although it was a bit damp it was definitely playable and so the lads got their whites on and on winning the toss, out they went to bowl. Pap bowled Balderton out for 86 and as tea wasn’t ready, the captains decided to carry on and stop for tea after 10 overs…. It looked an easy target to reach but we didn’t make it easy for ourselves only one player (Richard Winton) scored double figures and thankfully he went on to score 62! The game was won in 28 overs but we lost 8 wickets getting there!

Games this weekend

Saturday 9th August

1st XI are home to Welbeck. The 1st Team could only manage another winning draw against struggling Plumtree last weekend, we reached 255 in our 50 overs, (John Wakeling 53, Philip DeFreitas 41, Taimoor Khan 40, Jim Rhodes 30 no). Plumtree were struggling on 59 for 6 and it looked like it was going to be any easy 20 points, but Plumtree shut up shop and blocked out for a winning draw only loosing 1 more wicket (Jim 4 wickets), not very exciting for the spectators or players. :o(

2nd XI are away to Blidworth The 2nd team beat Ransome and Marles by 7 wickets on Saturday after restricting R&M’s to 141 we knocked them off in 27.4 overs… Martin Mitchell continued his form by hitting 51 off 56 balls.

3rd XI are at home (Burntstump) to Manton The 3rds won by 4 wickets against South Normanton, the opposition managed 139 for 5 in their allotted overs and it got quiet close with Pap just managing to knock them off with 3 balls remaining. Mention goes to Craig Bond who hit 71.
