Tonbridge School v BB

at Tonbridge School

TONBRIDGE - 241-7 DEC

BB - 241

MATCH TIED

On Tuesday 21st June, a BB side full of youth and experience took to the typically picturesque, Head at Tonbridge School. 

Tonbridge won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision which their Captain may have regretted after Finn Hulbert and Jame Monkhouse rattled the Tonbridge top order. At 46-4 Tonbridge were under a lot of pressure to put a target on the board. An interesting decision to bring Brother Hill onto bowl slightly turned the game back towards Tonbridge. Tonbridge then put together 2 or 3 good partnerships and left the BB fighting to stay in the game. At 241-7 Tonbridge declared and on a good Tonbridge pitch, was that point to be enough?

A similar story was written by the BB top order as we slipped to 40-5. However, with the batting power that was still in the hutch, Rosé was poured and no one panicked. Cue Finn Hulbert. Finn’s glorious shotmaking and relentless defiance was the backbone and body of the BB chase. The BB were in total control as both Finn and Toby Marriott put together a superb and match saving partnership of 139. With The BB 226-7 the game was surely wrapped up. With Finn 115 not out and Alex Hill and Alex Cornwallis still to bat, The BB were filled with confidence. As the sun set over the Chapel both Alex’s were swiftly dismissed and the game was firmly back in The School’s hands. 7 to win. 1 wicket to get. Finn hits a 6! 1 run to win. Finn 128 not out. Scores are level…. And that is the way they finished. Finn tries his luck one too many times and puts a steepler down the throat of the Tonbridge captain. Match Tied.

A superb effort from all and a very fitting result to a fantastic day of cricket. We look forward to going back next year and going 1 run further. Thanks to all involved, a game none will forget

BB - 302-6 dec

Hurlingham - 217-9

Match Drawn

On a cloudy morning at the Hurlingham, a strong BB XI assembled to take on a youthful home side. The deck had a greener tinge than usual in this idyllic corner of south west London, however big runs were still expected as the BB were asked to bat first after losing the toss.

However big runs looked in danger as a combination of fine bowling, loose strokeplay, and some surprisingly hasty finger-work from the local umpire saw the BB reach a speedily compiled, yet perilous 133-6. As the saying goes though, cometh the hour cometh the men, this time in the shape of Brothers Norwood-Hill and Churchill. A sparkling 7th wicket stand of 169 followed, either side of a rosé fuelled lunch, allowing Brother Bruce to declare on an imposing 302-6, Churchill having just reached an excellent century and Hilly carefully safeguarding his average with 66 red.

The BB took to the field with energy and enthusiasm, and Meredith struck a couple of early blows, finding bounce and movement with the new cherry. A swift half-century from the surviving opener gave the Hurlingham hope of a successful chase, before the #4 made an early, and highly tedious decision to play for the draw. The game looked to be drifting towards a frustrating conclusion with the BB needing 7 wickets with only 9 overs remaining. However the returning Robinson removed the aforementioned limpet, Munton varied flight and pace quickly accounting for a string of victims, and Meredith grabbed another brace, one courtesy of a magnificent catch by stand in ‘keeper Bruce. Sadly, with 10 Brethren crowded round the bat, the final pair clung on for the last nine deliveries and the Hurlingham Club escaped with a draw. Many of the team retired to the bar to discuss the day’s highlights over jugs of pimms, before taking the ill-advised, yet highly enjoyable path onwards to The Ship, and the Clapham Grand.”

Thanks so much to Lady Kingsdown for hosting such a super and successful day at Torry Hill yesterday. Huge thanks also to all Brethren, Candidates and Guests that played, contributed and attended this fantastic event, being the inaugural inter BB match!  With 50 excited spectators enjoying the entertainment - the rain held off, the pimms flowed, the food was amazing and the Dixie jazz band played on!  Big thanks also Clare Annand for the amazing catering and bar and Howard Waters for a super wicket and all his invaluable help setting up!  

BB narrowly beat the Chief's XI chasing down a tricky 187, losing only 6 wickets along the way. Congrats to Brother Cornwallis on guiding his team to victory and I am sure Brother Bax will seek revenge next year - catches do indeed win matches!

BB 255 - 4 Dec

King's School Rochester 151

BB won by 6 wickets

The BB’s won the toss on a glorious day at the Paddock and chose to bat on a wonderful batting track. We got off to a reasonable start courtesy of brother Jay but then lost 2 wickets in quick succession. The damage was soon rectified by Grayson Jones and Luke Ronday (guests) who set about rebuilding the innings. King’s bowlers faded badly as the inning wore on and runs became very easy to come by. The BB’s declared shortly before tea on 255-4. 

The King’s response began well with Tom Miles scoring a very impressive 40 until Julian Mitchell produced a fine spell of swing bowling culminating in 2 lbw’s. Once Miles went the wickets tumbled at regular intervals until such time the final wicket fell at 151. All the bowlers contributed and the fielding was outstanding all day. As usual the school were as hospitable as ever and put on a fine spread. Many of the school players were only in the lower sixth so I expect next year’s fixture to be very competitive!

My thanks go to David Lapthorn and Colin Hill for umpiring and of course to Diane Gittings who is ever present at the fixture with the scorebook.
