Yesterday we managed to shake off some rust in a spirited defeat to @BodicoteCC who set a daunting target of 240. The reply was led by a well paced 113 from @LeeMarlo who was ably supported at times without any Helmdoners quite making significant runs. Helmdon all out 180.

Helmdon were on fire with the ball and in the field today. Unfortunately the rain came and and brought the game to a premature end with Hanslope CC 55/8.
A good effort and a some valuable points earned.

A great win yesterday.

[Helmdon Cricket Club @Helmdon_CC]

We chased 175 yesterday Vs Sibford. Solid in the field with wickets shared. An improvement in the batting with runs throughout. @LeeMarlo 68* and @lippylipson 31 leading the way. Ike Arrand’s drive down the ground for 4 under pressure in the 39th was a particular highlight.

[Helmdon Cricket Club @Helmdon_CC]

A bad couple of weeks for Helmdon. More runs and application needed. Today was a 9 wicket loss defending a meagre total of 72.

On Sunday we had a fantastic golf day @SilverstoneGolf arranged by @dcgabbitas. Thank you to all who attended and supported the event. Here is your winning team!

[Helmdon Cricket Club @Helmdon_CC]

A winning start for Helmdon yesterday who’s 139 was enough to beat a solid @kingssuttoncc side by just 4 runs. @LeeMarlo the standout performance with 92* and an excellent team bowling/fielding performance got us over the line by a nose.

[Helmdon Cricket Club @Helmdon_CC]

A drawn game with all results possible off the final ball. Brigands 154-8 declared with @geoffbridger taking 4 wickets. Batting wise @LeeMarlo got us off to a good start hitting a classy 35 and we almost got over the line with some brave batting from the lower order.

[Helmdon Cricket Club @Helmdon_CC]

Tomorrow we travel to Broadhalfpenny Down to take on the Brigands! Anticipating wind and hoping for some sun and a win to start building a habit for Division 1.
