=============================================================================================================

Horton Kirby vs. FDCC 27th April |View HKCC Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

A damp day but at least we were back on the cricket pitch. Mr. Domine, fully back in the fold after his long sabbatical as an occasional player made his presence felt in more ways than one. See the Champagne/Shampoo pages.

35 over match

HKCC 154/8 (B. Bull 54, D. Bull 53 - Domine 3/40)
FDCC 148 (Mackrell 30)

FDCC lost by 6 runs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FDCC vs. Carlton Sports 11th May |View Ducksmen Innings| |View Carlton Sports Innings|

Two more entries for the shampoo moment, another one from the reinvigorated Tigger, as well as the first magnificent entry in the duck column. He really seems to be on a mission this year. Congratulations to Nelly for passing 2000 runs for the club, what took you so long?

FDCC 205/7 (Neal 76, Williams 40, cruelly cut short in his prime)
Carlton Sports 190/8 (Nisar 3-29, Mackrell 3-21)

FDCC won by 15 runs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elliot CC vs. FDCC 27th April |View Ducksmen Innings| |View Elliot Innings|

Captain's summary of our innings: "Everyone chipped except those that didn't who didn't get in the way." Items of note, Chris Fish and Andy B both on remand for jug avoidance, JP held a catch, Martin took his first wicket and George bowled his best ever spell for the club. There are a couple of new entries on the Shampoo/Champagne page.

Merton CC 146/6 (McDonald 2-18, Pritchard 2-12)

A maiden half century for Chris Fish, and 28 a popular score. Andy Pies registers his first duck altough it must be pointed out that he was rather sacrificed for an attempted run.

Luddesdowne CC vs. FDCC 29th June |View Luddesdowne Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

Our first visit to one of the most picturesque grounds we've ever been to, if a little difficult to bat on! A first rate tea and friendly fixture all round.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Bell Hill CC vs. FDCC 6th July |View BBH Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

FDCC vs. Greenheath CC 20th July |View Greenheath Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

FDCC 193/8 (Bunker 38, Fish 25, Mackrell 35)

TOUR

Mount Ambrose CC vs. FDCC 24th July |View Ducksmen Innings| |View Mt. Ambrose Innings|

20/20 match

FDCC won by 12 runs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mount Hawke CC vs. FDCC 25th July |View Mt. Hawke Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

A rather odd 35 over match with some rather pretentious fielding restrictions. Also (he was fined for this quite severely later) Mr Cloke appeared to be playing on both sides at once. The mood was lifted later by George hitting his first six although a rather hasty veil was drawn over his batting partner's response to said event.

Mt. Hawke CC 207/7
FDCC 175/9 (Mackrell 25, Robinson 37, Thorpe 28)

FDCC lost by 32 runs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mount Ambrose CC vs. FDCC 28th July |View Mt. Ambrose 1st Inns.| |View Ducksmen 1st Inns.| |View Mt. Ambrose 2nd Inns.|

Due to the imminence of the monsoon season it was decided to play a two innings match consisting of two innings of 20 overs for each team. The weather still beat us though and having put several shillings in the meter for the floodlights and changed to the high contrast ball with a bell in it and yet still unable to see it, we gave up and started drinking....

Mt. Ambrose 1st inns. 101/7 (McDonald G. 2/9)
FDCC 1st inns. 190/8 (Mackrell 41, Domine 38 (EMF))
Mt. Ambrose 2nd inns. 162/6 (16 overs) (Alexy 36, Bennett 3-46)

Match abandoned.

Downe CC vs. FDCC 3rd August |View Downe Innings| |View Ducksmen Innings|

Another family effort here with a caught Mackrell - bowled Mackrell. on the scorecard. However what doesn't show on the card is bowled Mackrell - dropped Mackrell in the process contriving to break a finger.

FDCC 124/4 25.3 overs (Bunker 67*)

Match abandoned.
