DODGY RUNNING COSTS NASC THE JOHN ELLISS SHIELD
NASC enjoyed our traditional friendly cricket outing at the Felthorpe Cricket Club on Sunday July 20th.
Hosts Felthorpe were as charming and welcoming as ever, except when wielding the willow - batting first they set NASC a daunting target of 238 from their 40 overs despite the Pentin brothers' best efforts at marshalling the NASC field.
David did a stirling job as skipper, and brother Duncan (making a welcome return to the NASC brotherhood for this match) returned impressive bowling figures of 2 wickets for 28 runs off 8 overs.
NASC were able to assemble a full team this year (well done evryone who played), and ten of us were relying on last year's centurion Peter Knight to knock off half the runs we needed. Unfortunately Pete was dismissed for 20 this time, and after the fall of his wicket we were always up against it. A brave and stylish knock from young opener Lewis Knight ended on 22 - he was one of six NASC players to reach but fall in the twenties.
There was controversy during the NASC innings, as first Dave Watson was run out on 20 (either a bad call from Scarfey or the Chairman caught daydreaming about big macs depending on your point of view) and then newbie Jordan Wale suffered the same fate for a duck. Another bad call from Scarfey? Or did Jordan's statement on arrival at the crease that 'Dave's promised me a big mac if I run you out' make up Scarfey's mind to get the evil deed done first!
An unlikely victory still seemed on as debutant Mark Harmer made a swashbuckling 29, but when he was caught NASC could not reach the required run rate, eventually losing our final wicket to the last ball of the innings for a credible 180.
A full set of scores in available on the Felthorpe CC web site. Congratulations to Felthorpe, we look forward to next year's challenge.

NEW DATE FOR CRICKET VS FELTHORPE
The traditional bank holiday rain ensured the annual cricket challenge against Felthorpe could not take place on the original date. A new date of SUNDAY JULY 20TH has been made. Please could all original players and any others interested in playing let Kate know if you can make the new date. Thanks.

BOULDY'S PREDICTION COMPETITION 2007/2008 - RESULTS
Many congratulations to DAVID 'GOONER' GRANGER for winning this season's NASC prediction competition. David picked up a title-winning 10 point bonus on the last match of the season when Rangers won the Scottish Cup, and that was enough to push yours truly into second place by one point. BRIAN BUTLIN and DANIEL BRITTON claim the remaining cash prizes, finishing just ahead of Bouldy himself. Ian Voutt is this year's Derby (sorry Ian!).
As many of you know, the Prediction Competition was organised for NASC every season by Brian 'Bouldy' Sadler, one of the founder members of NASC, who we sadly lost to cancer last November. The competition will be continued in his name, and we will purchase a trophy to be held by the winner for one season. The trophy will be presented at the club's AGM in July.
Here are the full results for this year's competition.
