Match Reports & Results

3/4 May

Ferring batted first, scoring a hefty 290-8, with James Chandler scoring Ferrings second century of the season, retiring on 102 not out (off just 67 balls). In reply Ifield managed a very respectable 240-7, giving Ferring a 50 run win. Lovely warm up game getting lots of people involved, but one other particular moment of note. David Thompson (raising money for Diabetes UK for every run he scores) played for Ifield to make the numbers even and scored 33 runs towards his pot, however, there is nothing like an early season attacking field of 9 slips to welcome him

Well done again James Chandler!

26/27 April

First weekend of the season and we played friendly matches on the Saturday and Sunday.

The Saturday side played a Littlehampton team at home. Our captain Cam Baldock won the toss and opted to field. Littlehampton then made an impressive 241 / 8 off their allotted 40 overs. FCC then came in to bat and with 2.1 overs to spare managed to reach the target winning on 242 / 5.

There were some impressive performances from our players but a very very special mention goes to Thomas Young who at only 14 years of age, scored his first ever 50 and then went on to score 62 not out. A truly magnificent achievement which we’re all very proud of.

The Sunday side lost a closely contested match at Balcombe. However, it also had its highlights with Joe Binns scoring 119 not out as Ferring set a target of 246. Despite 4 wickets from Mike Lewis, Balcombe succesfully chased down the score with 10 overs to go.

Well done to all involved but especially Thomas and Joe!
