Despite the drizzle and the sawdust, the 2012 annual season opener between Mags and Ashford did occur. Ashford scored 230 all out, skipper Wendel hitting 160 and the only way Mags could get him was by running him out. Mags response wasn't great, all out for 43 in 20 overs.
HLCC have played Mags 3 times at 2020: 1 TIE, 2 abandoned mid game (DL method states one win a piece). The game that was completed was a TIE...with Leisure needing 2 off the last ball to win.
Mags have played Ashford 4 times now, always a mid April seasons opener. Wendel usually scores a hundred against Mags (3 out of 4 times). (He usually doesnt score when playing for Mags, but does happen to hold the highest Mags score record of 160odd in 65 years of history). Leisure haven't yet got to play Ashford, which is probably quite wise from their point of view...
Magdalen CC Presidents XXII at Kent CC ground in Beckenham, Aug 2012. To celebrate Captain Hooks 50th. 22 Maggers in to 2 teams for a 2 innings all day game. Ha, my Sunday chums have been telling me for years what an iffy bowler I am, so I was pleased to return the compliment by taking 6 wickets (including Wendel, stumped, for my fifth) in this game (i can understand the oppo falling for it, but chaps who see me most weeks?, really, tut tut...)...More than a few HLCC regulars and occasionals in the above photo...And what a fantastic day...
