Match Report: YG's vs Sheffield Uni Staff

A good game of cricket vs Sheff Uni Staff at Escrick Park. YGs won the toss and batted first, and managed to reach lunch with 108 on the board for the loss of just two wickets. A quick flurry of runs and wickets post-lunch saw the YGs to 169-8 and a declaration. The Uni Staff reached tea without loss, but after the break Seth Barrett and Madawa Warnapura managed to make inroads. The YGs continued to push for victory, but ultimately ran out of time with 3 wickets still to claim and their opponents 60 short of the target. Many thanks to Paul White for organising so much of the day as always, it was greatly enjoyed by all involved.

Curry and Quiz

Surj and his family kindly hosted both the meal and quiz at the third annual Jeremy Phillips quiz and curry night. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening with a marvellous spread with a fun and entertaining quiz. Phil Holland’s all conquering team from the previous events was finally beaten by the Chair and Pres’s famous five.

Get Set Weekend

This was followed by the Get Set Weekend where a lot of chores were completed - cleaning, sweeping, polishing, windows, painting, covers, sight screens, ground care - which will hopefully enhance your experience at Escrick this summer.

Our thanks go to the volunteers who attended, Paul White, Neil Dale, Jason and Iliana Dale, Jordan Richardson, Richard Fletcher, David Daniels, Geoff Wellsteed, Heather Gilbert, Phil Holland and Nigel Bartram.
