Fossils buried

Fossils v Bedouins – 16 July 2023 Bedouins won by 14 runs Games against the Fossils, a team of 70 year-olds who have previously played at a very high standard, are usually quite sedate affairs. There’s not usually a lot of excitement or cut-throat competition. This game was the exception. The Fossils welcomed us to […]

Out with the old, in with the new

Pedmore v Bedouins – 21 June 2023 Bedouins won by 28 runs So it has been very rude of me not to welcome some ‘new’ and not so new names to the Bedouins ranks. Firstly, our left arm wizard Micky Robbo has finally decided he is not that tight and become a fully fledged member. […]

Never enough

  Bedouins v Kinlet – 31st May 2023 Kinlet won Some of the older Bedouins fixtures really get the adrenaline flowing and its fair to say that Kinlet would fit that category. Legendary matches with tight finishes and competitive but friendly summer evenings. We all look forward to this game despite the fact that Kinlet […]

“It’s all for charity mate!”

  Bedouins v Ashby Albion – Sunday 7th August Bedouins lost by 36 runs We play our game ‘seriously for fun’. But sometimes there are things more important than the game, as in the case of our final fixture of the season. For several seasons now this fixture has traditionally become a fundraiser to help […]

Beacon too hot to handle

Beacon v Bedouins – 3rd July 2022 Bedouins lost by 6 wickets Games coming thick and fast so quick report on this one. Short of players again so drafted in Kev Taylor and Guy Sheppard. Looked like a solid 11 until Jono took poorly and had the set off home. Big miss as it turned […]

Superman saves the day

Bedouins v Belmont CC – Sunday 31st July Bedouins won by 4 wickets If you thought Gregory’s performance on Wednesday night was good, it was paled into insignificance compared to that of Jonathan Hill on Sunday. I’ve scoured my memory banks (what’s left of them) and I can’t think of a better all round performance […]

Beds on fire!

Bedouins v Pedmore – Wednesday 27 July Bedouins won by 10 wickets It’s been a funny season for the Bedouins. So many times they have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, getting into match-winning positions only to fail in driving home their advantage. So would you believe me if I said Bedouins won this […]

Sport hurts

Bedouins v Amblecote and Wollaston – Wednesday 13 July Bedouins lost by 21 runs This was another defeat for Bedouins in a dismal season, but at least the weather was actually summery for a change. With Amblecote batting first, the ball was thrown to George to start the Bedouins attack. He lasted three balls. His […]
