Fantastic Innings from Newcomer Shahadat, Seals Emphatic Win for Cambourne 1sts against Comberton

Following last week’s impressive win against Waterbeach, the Cambourne Bombers were so eager to carry on the winning streak that they arrived at Comberton's ground before the home team. Having won the toss, Comberton chose to bat on what seemed, upon inspection, to be a lively dry wicket under scorching, humid and still conditions. The pitch proved to be lower and slower than was expected and Cambourne restricted the home team early on with some tight bowling from Nick Banning and Vasu Kumanduri.

Sarao's 50 Takes 2nds to Comfortable Victory Against Willingham

Debutee Honey Sarao hit a magnificent half century and was supported well by skipper Chris Cundell, as Cambourne II got their season off to the perfect start against Willingham. Willingham won the toss and chose to bat first posting 107 hard fought runs before they were bowled out in the 28th over. Cambourne reached the target in 21 overs for the loss of no wickets to complete a well earned victory.

Team Selection 10th May

Please note there will be an extra training session at the ground tonight from 6pm for anyone interested because of the excellent weather.

Here for the teams for the 2 Saturday games this weekend, Sunday's team will follow in a separate announcement. Please meet at the Pavilion at 12.45pm for both games.

Thank you to Femi

On behalf of the club, I'd like to pass on thanks to Femi Akinsanya the District Athletics Coach who gave up his time last night to demonstrate some excellent training drills aimed at developing our reactions and explosive power. We learnt a lot and I'm sure we will replicate the drills at many training sessions in the future. For those of you that didn't get a chance to meet Femi, he is currently the World Masters (35-40 years) indoor triple jump champion and Commonwealth Games finalist in 1998 and works as the scssp full-time athletics coach.

Those of you there last night will have also have noticed the BBC2 cameras filming us play a bit of cricket in the sun. This is for a new documentary series called "Britain From Above" which is looking at how the landscape of Britain's countryside and urban areas are changing over the last century, Cambourne obviously being a good example of a modern community. The series will begin soon and our episode will most likely be aired some time in September.

 

Whites At Training Tonight

Late notice, but can everyone please wear their whites at training tonight. We can't reveal why as yet but its worth coming along to find out! In addition to this, we also have a new kit supplier with some club logo embroidered kit samples (orders can also be taken) and we have the District Athletics coach coming along to take us through some fitness and reaction training drills. Exciting stuff!

Kiran and Josh Impress But Cambourne 3rd XI 2nd Best

Josh Was Cambourne's Leading Scorer

Contrary to the weather forecast, the teams were greeted with blue skies at Warboys but the friendly match saw Cambourne's first ever 3rd team game end in a narrow defeat. Cambourne batted first and a major collapse saw the team all out, barely reaching 50 off 20 overs with Ragiv (23) and Charles (20) the only players to get into double figures. Because it was a friendly, the Warboys captain allowed Cambourne to bat on and J.White (around 44*) and K.Gandhi (around 40*) taking full advantage 2nd time around to take the 3rds onto 177 - 14.
