Rishworthians and Copley CC tie 20/20 charity match
14 players played in what was a very enjoyable game against Copley CC XI. Rishies started strong with paceman, "Fiery" Fred Dawson opening the bowling and getting a wicket with his first ball for over 30 years, and finishing with 2 wickets for 18 runs.(must be some new material in this achievement for his after dinner speaking). Big Bird also taking 2 wickets with a bowling action that might not have been seen anywhere on a cricket field before!!. A mention as well for Gez Rollings, who got smashed for 26 off his only over and for Veteran, Sam Greenwood who had a great game behind the stumps despite some wayward bowling. Rishies managed to keep the hosts to a respectable 210 runs for 9 wickets, despite Copley bringing 4 "ringers" into thier team!!, including Batsman, Paul Winrow from Milnrow CC and Niall Lockley, opening bowler from Illingworth.
Rishies made a good start with openers Gaz and Chris Mitch putting on 73 runs for the first wicket, despite the latter betting hit no less than 4 times, including 2 in the nether regions a belting shiner that nearly closed his left eye. Then wickets started to tumble which brought Katie Wood to the crease, much to the delight of the fielding team, who then had 4 close fielders ready for any edge she might have given. The next wicket brought Bumfights to the crease, who them smashes the ball all over the field for a quick fire 35 to top score for Rishes. Next came the frightening sight of Foxy to the crease, who said he was left handed only to look better when he switched to right handed.
The match finished level with Rishies also scoring 210. Rishies president, and star bowler, Fred Dawson presented Copley CC captain, Will Mitchell-Smith with a trophy to finish the evening off in good spirits with the Game raising £400 for Overgate Hospice. If anyone would like to add to this donation, please leave with Fred behind the bar the next time you are in the club.
There is going to be a return game of Rugby against Copley CC, this time Rishes will host, at a date to be confirmed. We then hope to make these 2 games annual events.
Rishworthians win Adults Sports Club Award
Rishworthians had a successful evening at the annual Calderdale Sports awards winning the Adult Sports Club Award. The under 16's were also nominated in the Junior Male Team category but were pipped at the post by King Cross under 16's.
Acting Editor of the Evening Courier Mark Bradley, who was also one of the judges, said: "The pedigree of the entries in many of the categories was outstanding, and made the judges' decision a difficult one. Everyone shortlisted should be proud of their achievements and for those winners it will be the icing on the cake."
Hosting the finals night was professional MC Pete Emmett and comedian and ex-rugby league player Lea Roberts.
