Ton up Goodwin but Chester cant force win at Bramhall

Bramhall v CBHChester Boughton Hall 260-6 (51 overs), Bramhall 214-9 (59 overs). Match drawn Scorecard

Warren Goodwin hit 117 and Steve Ogilby 63 as Chester piled on the runs against Bramhall but couldn't quite grab victory. Their opening partnership put on 181 for the vistitors who dominated throughout but were thwarted by a fine last wicket stand between Bramhall's Simon Wilkinson and Andy Hayes.

Earlier Bramhall had won the toss and put Chester in to bat on an overcast, damp afternoon. Ogilby and Goodwin in particular ignored ideal seaming conditions to lay into the attack from the off. Goodwin's 50 came off just 39 balls and when he was finally out for 117, he'd struck 4 sixes and 17 fours. In-form Ogilby compiled an excellent 63 and with Chester 181-1 from 38 overs, Jim Gillson was able to switch his middle order to accomodate the youngsters in the side - the most succesful being Ollie Thompson who made 19. Gillson declared after 51 overs with a decent total of 260-6.

Chester struggled to make the breakthrough early on as Bramhall put on 55 for the first wicket before Goodwin trapped Nick Atherton for 19. John Birchall added 38 and Mike Bolgar 55 but wickets were falling regularly to the nagging Alex Kegg and accurate Ajit Ranjan. Yet Bramhall's resistance, now led by skipper Nick Cantello gave them a small glimpse of victory although at 166-5 it was looking more than a challenging chase.

Mike Robinson got the breakthrough taking 3-21 from 5 overs which signalled a hasty rearguard action from the home side. And when the 9th wicket fell with 7 overs left, Chester sensed a hard earned win. Yet Wilkinson and Hayes held strong and despite a couple of scares managed to bat out for the draw. Bramhall finished on 214-9, Ranjan taking 2-45, Kegg 2-48. Chester took 17 points, Bramhall 9.

Andrew Flintoff at Chester Boughton Hall


Freddie and the Dreamers!Top of his profession and a top man!

That was the verdict of a sell out audience as Freddie Flintoff came to Chester Boughton Hall.

The great man rarely takes part in events such as this and those privileged to hear and meet him will long remember a top night as he talked about his early days in cricket, playing for Lancashire and England and of course winning the Ashes.

He also gave an insight into the great work his charity the Flintoff Foundation undertakes raising funds to build, develop and improve Child Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy Units throughout the UK. AF Foundation

Taking questions from the floor, there was much to cover and he ducked nothing.

And Freddie had time for everybody too shaking more hands than can be imagined and posing for more photographs than a centrefold.

It was great to see him at the Club and just a shame we couldn't talk him into putting his boots on for us on Saturday!

Goodwin grabs 5 and Atkin returns in Chester win

Dave AtkinDidsbury 178 all out (58.3 overs), Chester Boughton Hall 181-6 (49.1 overs). Chester won by 4 wickets Scorecard

Warren Goodwin grabbed 5-45 for Chester as they managed a much needed win at home to Didsbury.

With Alex Kegg unfit, it meant a recall for the experienced David Atkin (left), not seen in Chester colours for a couple of years. And Atkin made a significant impact with an excellent 18 over spell, taking 1-48.

And the importance of the win was huge for Chester who have to look back to a home game with Oxton in May since they last tasted league success.

It wasn't plain sailing however as the game went down to the wire. Inserting Didsbury after winning the toss, Jim Gilson's side toiled early on with opener Martin Fisher top scoring on 73. Didsbury's opening stand put on 86 but from then on wickets fell regualrly resulting in batting through for 58 overs to finish on 178 all out.

Whilst Chester used five bowlers, Atkin and Ajut Ranjan bowled 18 each with Goodwin's 5-45 coming off 15.

Didsbury's wily spin attack was likely to test Chester's reply and they slipped up early on as Goodwin fell for just 1. Eddie Robert's resurgence than continued as he and Steve Ogilby added 94 for the second wicket before Ogilby fell for a well grafted 52.

The innings required sound application as the spin onslaught of Paul Sperring, Johnny Fawcett and Jamie Maltman took over and nerves were jangling when Roberts was fourth out for 48.

In the end Chester re-grouped and a fine 27 from Ranjan supported by Gillson's 11 eventually saw the home side creep over the line with 11 balls to spare at 181-6.

Other results: Neston and Toft drew, Alderley Edge beat Urmston, Nantwich beat Oulton Park, Hyde beat Oxton, Bowdon beat Bramhall.

Chester's 2nds were rained off at Didsbury whilst the 3rds won at Upton and the 4ths drew at home to Upton, Ed Filer scoring a fine century.

Gillson and Roberts in the runs but Chester draw at Hyde

Eddie Roberts 83 v HydeChester Boughton Hall 277-5 dec (55 overs), Hyde 211-7 (55 overs). Match drawn Scorecard

Jim Gillson hit a season's best 94 not out and Eddie Roberts 83 as Chester had to settle for a draw away at high-flying Hyde. Chester managed to knock down seven Hyde wickets but a resilient fifth wicket stand of 110 between Chris Pilkington (65) and Danny Berry (51) and a rearguard action from Danny Leach (27*) frustrated the visitors.

A trip to the hospitable and picturesque Hyde is always one of the season's highlights and a good spirited match saw Gillson win the toss for Chester and bat first. The home side struck an early blow as Warren Goodwin was dismissed from his first ball but Steve Ogilby, together with Roberts added 66 before Ogilby went for 32. Tom Young's bowling was proving a challenge and when Ollie Law was unfortunately given out with the score on 84, Chester were rocking. Vintage Roberts and Gillson then took on the attack and when Roberts went for an excellent 83, Alit Ranjan (11) and Matt Griffiths (13*) were able to assist Gillson in a late flurry. Gillson was unable to get enough strike to force a well deserved 100 but Chester were reasonably content to finish on 277-5, Young taking 3-92.

A seamer short, Goodwin opened the bowling for Chester and has rarely bowled quicker as he removed first veteran Dave Fitzsimmons for 8, Mike Morris for 11 and the prolific James Duffy for 8. Pilkington and Berry's stand changed the game however with 110 added in just over an hour. Gillson juggled his bowlers as he sought the elusive first win since May but the home side held good. Pilkington was out for 65 and then spectators were treated to the entertaining sight of the experienced Danny Leech coming in injured at number seven with a runner. Chaotic at times but mainly amusing, Leech weathered the late storm to hold good and see Hyde hold out for a draw at 211-7. Goodwin finished with 3-44 and Ranjan 3-62, Chester taking 16 points, Hyde 9. Chester have a crunch game at home to Didsbury next.

Chester out of Cheshire Cup

Chester Boughton Hall 154-9 (45 overs), Alderley Edge 157-1 (25 overs). Alderley won by 9 wickets

Chester won the toss and batted first on a dust bowl of a wicket. With little rain of late, wickets are becoming a challenge to prepare. The openers, Ollie Law and Steve Ogilby got off to a bright start putting on 36 before Ogilby was caught at slip. Warren Goodwin fell for no score for the second game running and Ed Robert's dismissal for 9 left Chester at 59-3. Law went for 25, Gillson top scored with 30 and Ajit Ranjan struck a breezy 21. Chester's score felt 20-30 runs short.

Mark Currie enjoys playing against Chester and made light work of steering Alderley to victory. He and Alan Day put on 137 for the first wicket before Mike Robinson removed him for 89. Day finished on 44 not out as the visitors cantered home by 9 wickets after just 25 overs.

2nd XI: Chester Boughton Hall drew with Hyde

Chester won the toss and decided to have a bat on a wicket that was likely to offer more to the bowlers as the day went on. Bob Evans and Phil Thomas opened the batting but were soon both victims of Hyde's opening attack. Andy Pembroke joined the crease along with Karl Steadman and started to steady the ship before Stedman played on for 22. Pembroke remained at the crease but the middle order was not able to support and Chester lost 3 wickets for 11 runs. Tom Evans then joined Pembroke and started to play his naturally game timing the ball well and picking up boundaries. After a good partnership which saw the total growing into something competitive Pembroke went for 54. Evans continued to score at pace with some fantastic boundary strikes and was well supported by Grant Goodwin who hit a quick 14 and Dave Fished who finished on 10 not out. Evans finished on 65 not out, an innings which certainly proved a match saver and one which offered the bowlers a chance.

Hyde came out to bat looking positive as ever and raced to 40 mainly dealing in boundaries of the opening attack and making good use of a quick outfield. Grant Goodwin then made the breakthroughs removing Hemmings caught by an outstanding low catch at gully by Fisher. He then also had the number 3 caught by Stedman at cover. Runs however continued to flow and it was then the bowling partnership of Dan Riley and Harry Killoran that continued to the end of the innings. Killorian was making his second team league debut and bowled with great maturity holding a good line and length, turning the ball into the right handers. It was two well flighted deliveries that bowled both Hdye's 5 & 6 and restricted the lower order. Dan Riley at the other end was as reliable as ever and picked up 4 wickets with some very well thought out bowling. Chester didn't quite have enough runs on the board to finish Hyde off but a very good game of cricket ended in a draw. Special mention must go to Harry Killoran who had an outstanding spell finishing with 2 for 67 off 17 overs.

The 3rds won at Irby whilst the 4ths 220 wasn't enough to beat Irby despite 53 from John Legry and 44 from Ian Metcalf.
Table toppers take the honours

Harry KilloranChester Boughton Hall 183 all out (54.3 overs, Neston 184-7 (53.1 overs). Neston won by 3 wickets Scorecard

Despite being in the driving seat for much of the game, Chester let slip their advantage as they went down to league leaders Neston at Filkins Lane.

A late paternity call for Steve Ogilby meant a last minute call up for 12 year old Harry Killolran to the side, the youngest player to appear for the 1st XI since an 11 year old Eddie Roberts back in the last century.

Winning the toss and batting first, Chester were in early trouble as Warren Goodwin fell to old adversary Chris Finergan with just 6 on the board. Worse was to follow as Jim Gillson was caught behind for 5 to leave the home side reeling at 12-2.

Eddie Roberts, back in a familiar role at the top of the order and Ollie Law then set about rebuilding the innings before a mix-up saw Roberts go for 12 with the score on 35. Law and Maroof Khan - playing his last league game for Chester before departing for a job in Hong Kong - then combined well to add 62 for the fourth wioket before Law went lbw for 39. Maroof maanged 37, Ajit Khan 28 but when the tail failed to wag, Chester were struggling at 153-9 on a turning track. Enter old and new: Alex Kegg shepherded the unfazed Harry Killoran at the other end as they eeked out a vital 30 for the last wicket, Kegg making 28 and Killoran 6 not out before receiving a hero's reception in the pavilion at tea. Pick of the Neston bowlers was Cheshire's James Hawley with 3-58 and Jordan Free with 3-20.

Chester's spin attack was likely to have a big say in the Neston reply but when Ranjan opened the bowling, the stylish Jack Smith made his intentions clear from the off and seam soon returned. The bowling of Khan and reintroduction of Ranjan from the other end soon began to bite however and when Smith went for 37, Neston were struggling at 64-5 and Chester were moving towards their first victory in seven.

But this was a day for the youngsters and nobody had reckoned on 15 year old Luke Camden taking the game by the scruff of the neck as almost single-handedly, he turned things round. Chester only managed two further wickets and although Khan finished with 3-48 and Ranjan 3-54, his mature innings of 55 not out saw the table toppers home by 3 wickets.

Andy Pembroke's 2nd XI slipped up in the corresponding fixture at Neston, John Thistlewood's 3rds went down in a decent game with Brooklands and Jeremy Jordan's 'Home Guard' 4ths (featuring one or two names from the past) grabbed a draw at Oxton.

On Sunday, Chester cruised into the 4th round of the Cheshire Cup with a fine win over Bramhall. Chester made 241-6 (Steve Ogilby 76, Ollie Law 59, Maroof Khan 35), Bramhall 183-9 (Kieron O’Connor 61, Nick Cantello 38, Ajit Ranjan 3-15).

1sts slip to a draw when in control whilst Bob Evans hits 218 for the 2's

Bob Evans 218Whilst Jim Gillson's side lurched to a draw with Alderley Edge from a winning position, the big story of the weekend was Bob Evans' fine 218 for the 2nds at Alderley. Smashing the ball to all quarters of the ground (and adjacent tennis courts), Evans dealt almost exclusively in boundaries.

Andy Pembroke's men closed on 300-3 declared and with Grant Goodwin picking up 5 wickets and Dave Fisher and Jay Alfridi, 2 each. Chester got home by 40 runs with the home side mustering 260.

Success too for the 3rds who beat Timperley, young Harry Killoran taking 6 wickets.

Alderley Edge 231 all out (53 overs), Chester Boughton Hall 226-9. Match drawn Scorecard

Lacking the ruthless streak that can turn draws in to wins, Chester surrendered meekly in a game they looked destined to win. Having dismissed Alderley for a below par 231, the home side were confident of chasing the runs down but a number of basic errors saw them capitulate and end up settling for a draw.

Things started well for the home side with Trevor Fabien taking the early wickets of Alan Day and Jason Whittaker to reduce Alderley to 22-2. It got better when the prolific Mark Currie - usually a thorn in Chester's side - went for 45. From then onwards wickets fell regularly, left armer Ajit Ranjan being Chester's main turn as he took 6-75 from 15 overs. Fabien finished with 3-68 and top scorer was Johnny Usher who remained unbeaten on 58.

Chester's reply couldn't have got off to a worse start as first Whittaker clean bowled Warren Goodwin for just 2 and Ranjan then went to the very next delivery. Ollie Law and Steve Ogilby then settled down to repair the early damage, striking some fine shots. Together the two added some semblance of order as they put on 78 for the third wicket before Law became over ambitious and top-edged one to cover for 42.

Two further solid partnerships then developed with first Ogilby and Maroof Khan adding 33 before Ogilby ran himself out for the second week running, then Khan and Gillson added 60. Chester were slipping behind the clock slightly but with Khan in control, were homing in on their first win in 6. When Gillson was stumped for 20, toppling over at the crease to much amusement from the opposition and several of his own side, victory was still well within sight. Panic and apprehension then set in forcing Khan to take on spinner Mark Warnes (5-62) once too often and be stumped for 68. Jack Williams' 20 offered some hope for Chester as the tail became under pressure but when the ninth wicket fell in the last over with Chester still 11 runs short, Eddie Roberts was forced as earn a draw. A disappointing return from a game Chester should have won.

On Friday night a young Chester side slipped out of the Liverpool Echo KO Trophy at Bootle. The hosts posted 141-9 from their 20 overs (Ranjan 5-22) and Chester managing 113-6 in reply (Robinson 21*, Williams 20*, Law 20).
Runfest stalemate sees Warren hit 153

Warren GoodwinChester Boughton Hall 333-3 dec (55 overs), Nantwich 226-6 (55 overs). Match drawn
Scorecard

Chester Boughton Hall's Warren Goodwin struck a superb 153 for Chester as they took on local rivals Nantwich at Whitehouse Lane. Indian Ajit Ranjan hit 77 and Ollie Law 54 not out but the visitors couldn't force their first victory for five games.

Winning the toss and batting first, Chester were pegged back initially by an accurate opening spell from Jimmy Warrington and Barrington Brown, eeking out 31 runs from the first 13 overs before Steve Ogilby drove one to the covers and was run out from a direct hit by Ray Doyle. Ajit Ranjan then joined Goodwin at the crease and a series of excellent pulls and drives saw him and Goodwin add 183 for the second wicket. With the young overseas recruit making his highest score so far and growing in confidence, Goodwin went into overdrive. His innings was a replica of the one he'd played six days earlier for Cheshire as he despatched the ball to all parts of the ground (and out of it). A tired Ranjan was finally caught behind at 214 and Ollie Law then entered to continue the rout taking on his mate and sparring partner Ashley Shaw. When Goodwin finally departed to a boundary catch - hitting 5 sixes and 22 fours in total - Law continued, seeing the innings through to a mammoth 333-3 and smashing 54 from 29 balls.

Perhaps the Chester declaration should have been earlier but with Lou Vincent in the opposition's side, anything could happen. Vincent was first to go however with the score on 42, bowled by Ranjan and then Alex Kegg grabbed a second to make it 51-2. 85-4 signalled survival as Nantwich's aim and despite an array of 'friendly' bowling to entice shots, Nantwich blocked out comfortably to finish on 226-6, Ashley Shaw unbeaten on 55. Ranjan finished with 3-55, Kegg 2-55 and there was a wicket for young debutant Ollie Thompson.

The 2nd XI also drew with Nantwich, the 3rds drew at Warrington (including 124 from Tommy Evans and 91 from John Legry and the 4ths went down to Warrington).
Going with the youth

Andrew LeechWith three under 19s in last week's 1st XI and another set to play against Urmston, Chester skipper Jim Gillson sees the value of blooding youth.

'If they're good enough, they're play,' says Gillson. 'So far this season we've seen 17 year old Jack Williams cement his place in the side as a legspinner, Ollie Law push up the batting order to number 4 and last week we saw a glimpse of what 17 year old Andy Leech can do with the ball.'

'On top of that we of course have 19 year old Chris Connolly available to us in between Lancashire commitments and 16 year old Mike Robinson has also played in the side this year'.

Gillson is also set to blood rookie wicket-keeper Glen Coppack against Urmston. 'Young Glen had some good performances with the gloves last year for us and with Steve (Ogilby) temporarily unable to keep due to a knee injury, this is Glen's chance'.

Leech and Coppack are products of the King's School, Chester as is another emerging talent, Ollie Thompson. All three have school cricket commitments during the first half of the season but will be more available later.

'I'm really pleased with the progress of our juniors', Gillson explains. 'As well as those progressing at the top of our pyramid there are also others coming on nicely such as Mike Jones and Harry Killoran'.

Chester go forward looking to blend youth with experience and you can expect more of the same as the season progresses.

Chester Boughton Hall Junior Development Squad

CBHCBH have launched a Junior Development Squad for 2010.

With an array of young talent at Chester, it is important to invest in the Club's future. The squad has been put together with two key oblectives:

There will be 10 weeks of Monday night coaching sessons to include, batting, fast and spin bowling, fielding, wicket keeping and strategy - a key area in understanding a game plan.

Amongst the senior personnel involved in the programme will be opening bat Warren Goodwin, old friend and left arm spinner, Robin Fisher and wicket-keeper Stephen Ogilby.

The squad was officially launched at a meeting at the Clubhouse and included presentations from Chairman Jim Law, Junior Chairman Dave Killoran, 1st XI skipper, Jim Gillson and Warren Goodwin.

Whilst an initial group of 16 boys and girls have been selected, it is anticipated the squad will progress once training starts and acts as an incentive for all aspiring young cricketers at the Club.
