Perranporth CC 1st 11 v Goldsithney CC 1st 11.
Goldsithney won the toss and elected to bat.
Perranporth CC 1st 11 138-4 beat Goldsithney CC 1st 11 137 all out by 6 wickets.
Perranporth CC 1st 11 20 points Goldsithney CC 1st 11 5 points.
A disappointing day for the 1st eleven saw the side defeated by six wickets away at Perranporth. Top scorers for the side were Albert Pellow 29, Francis Pellow 25, Matt Lawrence 17 and Giles Lawrence 15. Having at one stage being 78-2, a bigger total would of been targeted, however in reply with the ball, for a while things looked promising with Perranporth being reduced to 39-3 thanks to Giles Lawrence and Sid Lawrence combining to take three wickets without another run being added to the total. A good partnership took the game away from the side however and by the time of the fourth wicket falling the formalities were almost complete despite the best efforts of Giles Lawrence 3- 21 and Sid Lawrence 1-15.

Goldsithney 2nd 11 v Perranarworthal 3rd 11.
Goldsithney won the toss and decided to bowl.
Goldsithney 67-5 beat Perranarworthal 66 all out by 5 wickets.
Goldsithney 18 points Perranarworthal 3 points.
The second eleven recorded an excellent win over Perranarworthal to give the side their first win of the season and giving a confidence boost to all involved in the process. Stephen Nicholson and Bryan Parmer were to provide the stand out performance with 5- 21 and 41 not out respectively here is second team captain Stephen Nicholson thoughts on the game.
"Goldsithney won the toss and elected to bowl on a pitch that looked like it would help the bowlers,this proved to be the case when an all spin bowling attack proved too strong for the visitors batting line up.Steve N took 5-14,Jack R 2-14,Colin P 2-3 and Bryan P 1-28. Perranarworthal were all out for 66 in 31 overs
The decision to bat 10 overs instead of taking an early tea appeared to be the wrong decision when Steve N was out first ball in our innings followed fairly quickly by Colin P,Jack R,Alex R and Dan O all with low scores,we looked in trouble at 20-5 but sensible batting by Bryan P(41 not out)ably assisted by a calm Jack T "steadied the ship"and at 67-5 we won by 5 wkts gaining 18 points
Well done to everyone,this was a much improved performance from our previous game and we should look forward with confidence to the forthcoming Bank Hol fixtures against Perranporth(away)on Sat and Camborne(home)on Mon
Captains note........ Apologies to those who thought it was not the greatest idea to start batting before tea perhaps putting us undue pressure but maybe it shows in sport that managers/captains don't always make the right call!!In my case ...lesson learned!"

Goldsithney 1st 11 v St. Gluvias 2nd 11.
St Gluvias won the toss and elected to bat.
Goldsithney 125-4 beat St. Gluvias 124 all out by 6 wickets.
Goldsithney 20 points St. Gluvias 5 points.
On a warm May afternoon Goldsithney were in the field first having lost the toss and for a while were under pressure against a stubborn St. Gluvias top order who started positively but a concerted and patient bowling effort brought the run rate back down to almost a complete halt at times and with a bit of luck here and there wickets could of tumbled at a quicker rate. The Lawrence brothers Giles and Matt were outstanding finishing with figures of 5- 20 and 4-32 with a combined analysis of 9- 52! George Wykes selfishly chipped in with a wicket of his own to prevent a Lawrence clean sweep and a remarkable scorecard. Batting was at times nervous loosing Treve Kitchen in the first over but knocks from Giles 37, Francis Pellow 34 and Matt Lawrence 19 not out saw us comfortably home in the end.
1st 11 scorer Kelly Lawrence's thoughts on the game:
"St Gluvias won the toss and elected to bat, St Gluvias started well but through an excellent bowling display by Giles Lawrence 5 for 20, Matt Lawrence 4 for 32 and George Wykes 1 for 46. Goldsithney bowled St Gluvias out for 124 in 43.2 overs. Now Goldsithney needed the batting to get us through, unfortunately we lost Treve Kitchen in the first over but good batting from Giles Lawrence 37 and Francis Pellow 34 got us off to a quick 50 in 8 overs, Albert Pellow 12 and Matt Lawrence 19no secured the win in 27.2 overs.
Goldsithney won by 6 wkts, claiming 20pts, St Gluvias 5pts".
Perranporth 2nd 11 v Goldsithney 2nd 11
Perranporth won the toss and elected to bat.
Goldsithney 137-5 beat Perranporth 136-3 by 5 wickets.
Goldsitheny 16 points Perranporth 5 points.
Back to back wins for the second eleven completed an outstanding weekend for the club away at Perranporth. Having lost the toss and having to field first, the bowlers found wickets hard to come by but crucially bowled with accuracy and consistency resulting in some economical bowling analysis and Perranporth being restricted to 136- 3 in their 40 overs.
In reply a nervous start was quickly resolved by an excellent 73 run partnership between captain Stephen Nicholson 22 and Bryan Palmer 68 with good support from Jack Ralph 15 not out seeing the job through. Another win sees the team climb higher up the table and Stephen Nicholson was delighted with the result.
"A good 16 point win for the 2nd's at Perranporth should,hopefully,see us move up the Div 7 table
Perranporth won the toss and elected to bat on what appeared to be a good batting track,tight bowling by the 4 bowlers used(Bryan P,Steve N,Jack R,Colin P) restricted their score to 136-3 and we were perhaps a little unlucky not to take more wickets but lapses in the field probably gave them 20-25 more runs than they deserved
Our reply faltered a little at the start but a fine innings of 63 from Bryan P together with Steve N coming in at number 5(22)saw us edge closer to the score required and it was left to Jack T(batting with Alex R)to hit the winning runs in the 36th over
Overall a good game played on an attractive and well maintained ground in fine weather
Well done boys!
We are at home to Camborne on Bank Hol Monday and home to Beacon on Sat 1st June both start at 2pm"
Monday 27th May
Rain, rain, rain! horrendous weather meant not surprisingly the weather was the winner denying both sides the opportunity to back up good performances with another set of wins.

St Just 3rd 11 v Goldsithney 1st 11
St. Just won the toss and elected to bowl.
Goldsithney 213-6 beat St.Just 187 by 25 runs.
Goldsithney 20 points St. Just 7 points.
A hard thought game of cricket saw the lads produce an excellent victory in a game which for a long period of time in St. Just's run chase was tense and threatened to go all the way to the wire. Batting first Goldsithney were off to an electric start thanks to an attacking opening partnership between Giles Lawrence 41 and Treve Kitchen 23 saw an opening stand of 74. St Just battled back well however and began to chip in with regular wickets reducing us to 127-5 which given the start we had was a little disappointing but the wicket was challenging and credit must also go to the oppositions bowlers. A superb counter attacking partnership of 55 by Harry Wykes 37 not out and Matt Lawrence 28, gave the batting momentum again and with a quick fire 13 not out lifted our total too 213-6 off out allotted 48 overs.
Chasing a large total St.Just started aggressively and runs flowed particularly off an expensive opening burst from George Wykes. With Jim Mckenna at the crease St. Just were always in with a chance especially after surviving a couple of real scares in his time at the wicket. The bowling in general was exceptional with Giles, Matt and Sid containing the run rate and taking wickets the pressure began to increase on Mckenna. Leg spinner Saurabh Sarkar chipped in with a crucial wicket with Treve Kitchen taking an outstanding catch and when George Wykes returned to bowl a much improved second spell removing Mckenna with Giles this time taking a very difficult catch and then removing the last wicket clean bowled to seal an excellent victory, everyone could finally breath a huge sigh of relief ! Bowling figures Sid Lawrence 3-43 Giles Lawrence 2-32, George Wykes 2-33, Saurabh Sarker 1-26 and Matt Lawrence 1-48.
Scorer Kelly Lawrence's thoughts on the game
"St Just won the toss and elected to field. Openers Giles Lawrence andTreve Kitchen got Goldsithney off to a good start again scoring 50 in 25 minutes off only 42 balls. Goldsithney then lost both Treve Kitchen 23 and Giles Lawrence 41 in the same over and losing Francis 15 early, we soon went from 100 of 20 overs to 125 of 30 overs. Albert 23 steadied the ship, It looked like we would post a score around 180 but Matt Lawrence 28 and Harry Wykes 37 no batted brilliantly to get to a score of 213 for 6.
With only 10 men the bowling and fielding had to be at its best and for most of the game it was. St Just had a player run out in the first over getting us off to a superb start and in the second over should have had Jim McKenna caught for nothing, unfortunately that didn't happen and it proved to be costly he went on to score 121 and was finally caught on the boundary by Giles Lawrence in the 44th over. Only one other put a score of 31 but he and McKenna could not do a teams job on their own.
Goldsithney bowled St Just 3 out 187 Sid 3 for 43, Giles 2 for 32, George 2 for 33, Saurabh, 1 for 26 and Matt 1 for 48 proved to be an all round team effort to win us the game.
A good close game but Goldsithney secured 20 points St Just 7 points"

Goldsithney 2nd 11 v Beacon 3rd 11
Goldsithney won the toss and elected to bowl
Beacon 223-6 beat Goldsithney 135-8 by 88 runs.
Beacon 19 points Goldsithney 6 points.
Unfortunately the second eleven were unable to continue their excellent form losing to a Beacon side with one innings for the visitors proving to be the decisive one that of 79 by David Wells. Goldsithney's bowlers stuck to their task well picking up wickets and giving everything. In reply a good partnership between Bryan Palmer 55 and Jack Ralph 37 gave hope of an excellent victory. Sadly it was not to be however and the innings fell away after their dismissals but with recent wins under their belts and some excellent cricketers in the side confidence should still be high for the next fixture.
Stephen Nicholson's thoughts on the game
"We won the toss and elected to bowl first,unfortunately we took to the field with only 8 players due to the unavoidable late arrival of a couple of players and then proceeded to be hit for 20 odd runs in the first 3 overs.Restored to 10 players things got a little better in taking 6 wkts in the visitors score of 223.The real damage was done by a big hitting Beacon batsman who scored a quick fire 70 and in the process "losing" 6 match balls in the adjacent gardens!Sadly we dropped 5 catches......my personal apologies to the bowlers for being responsibly for three of them!!
Our reply looked good at one stage with Bryan Palmer hitting 55 and Jack Ralph 37 but in an attempt to"up the tempo"we lost quick wickets to a couple of run-outs and good catches by the visitors and ended on 136 all out"
