Everyone at Southowram CC would like to pass on our condolences to the family and friends of Robin Smith.
"The Judge" visited Southowram for a dinner over 15 years ago and was absolutely amazing. Rest in Peace.
Today our 1st XI secured both promotion and the @HalifaxCL second division title with a comprehensive win over @QueensburyCC .
We won the toss and chose to field. Tom Belfield had Queensbury 0-3 in the first over and they never recovered. 60 all out at tea.
We won by 10 wickets.
Our 2nd XI better first away to champions @OxenhopeCricket and we're soundly beaten by 10 wickets.
We made 132 with Rehan Muhammed (51) making his first senior half century.
Oxenhope knocked off the total with the minimum of fuss in only 19 overs.
The 2nds pick up only 1 point.
The Rams bowlers found it tough going , Old Town reaching 137/2 at the half way stage of their innings, but spinner @gledders32 then took 5/56 to stifle any chance of an Old Town win. They were eventually bowled out for 233.
The firsts pick up 12 points.
1st XI win by 91 runs at home to Old Town.
Skipper @gledders32 won the toss and chose to bat. After an early wobble Yasir and Neil Harvey shared 179 for the 4th wicket. Harvey eventually being run out for a lifetime best 152 in a total of 324/6
The first team continued it's push for the title with a comfortable win at home against @bridgeholme today.
Unfortunately our seconds succumbed to a 9 wicket defeat away at @OutlaneCC .
β Our second XI returned from Bradley with no points after being dismissed for just 83. The Rams won the toss and chose to bat, but only four Rams batters made double figures with Jan Armani top scoring with just 16. Bradley knocked off the winning runs losing just 3 wickets.

#UpTheRams π π
Stainland won the toss and chose to bat first- but only made 108, Tom Belfield (3/27) and Neil Harvey (3/16) doing most of the damage. The Rams were in trouble at 48/5, but a 50 partnership between Belfield (35 not out) and Damo Parry (18) saw our firsts to a maximum point win.
Unfortunately, due a mixture circumstances, we have taken the decision difficult to postpone our Evening with Mick Rathbone. We will provide details on a rearranged date in due course.
A reminder for all that we have An Evening With @MickRathbone next Friday, 1st August. Please contact @gledders32 for tickets to what should be a great evening.
If anyone has a child who loves cricket and wants to attend a summer camp then 2 young players at our neighbours @CopleyCC are running one. Please contact Woody for details.
