Cambourne 3s win the division.

In a game that could be classed as “Just not Cricket” Cambourne marched on towards promotion with a 7 wicket victory over Bar Hill.

Firstly, the game was to be played an artificial pitch due to Bar Hill’s pitch being out of action. The first delay was for the boundary markers to turn up but after this Captain Healey lost the toss and Cambourne were put into the field. 

Cambourne 1st XI lost another close game on Saturday, this time away to Barley at their idyllic village ground. Batting first Cambourne made an excellent start with both Chris Cundell and Mark Crawford in good touch. Cricketers can be superstitious creatures, which might explain bizarre bat changing of the opening pair. In the first 10 overs Cundell and Crawford changed bats, swapped bats and then Cundell settled on the 'Mongoose'. Crawford was out on 16 and we then saw glimpses of Paul Darrington's talent with a huge swept six.

Heavy rain throughout the week meant that Cambourne 2nds needed some divine intervention if they were to advance their desires of winning the league and having easily overcome Girton earlier in the season it seemed that only the ‘man upstairs’ could prevent another Cambourne victory party.

Heroic rearguard action from captain Mark Tandy, Vivek Joseph and Mike Longson Junior took Cambourne 1st XI to the brink of victory on Saturday, at home to relegation rivals Burrough Green. Tandy, batting at 8, top scored in the game with a magnificient 34, followed by 29 not out from Joseph and 19 from Longson. Burrough Green however won by 12 runs after posting 139 on a sticky wicket.

Before doing the match report I would like to thank Mr Danny White and Stuart Charles for all the help during ground booking's and arranging all the necessary logistics to make this game possible.

Cambourne 2nd XI continued their march towards promotion with a 3 wicket victory over Elsworth at Lower Cambourne.

Cambourne 1st XI lost a thrilling game at home against Madingely on Saturday. The league leaders grasped victory from the jaws of defeat, defying the odds in a runs chase that saw them win with 2 balls to spare.
