Chesterfield & District Midweek Cricket League Division Two NFU 131-8 15 overs Dronfield Woodhouse 129-8 15 overs NFU win by Two Runs. NFU batted first on a lively track at Carr Lane and made a slow start with a couple of wickets falling on 18 thanks to the tight bowling of Matthew Gee. It wasn’t until Steve Crookes was joined by Andy Crookes that the score began to tick over with NFU now looking like a big target could be in the making. More tight bowling at the death from John Bridgett and Martin Flack reduced NFU to 131 in the end. Tom Baggaley & the aforementioned Gee bowled tightly to finish with five wickets between them. With fading light upon them Woodhouse needed to get off to a good start and were distraught when Matt Oldfield was given out caught behind despite the ball hitting his pad for four runs. Dave Drew (40) then proceeded to blast the NFU bowlers to all parts which included six fours and one six in his innings but he really needed a partner. Flack batted sensibly but again needed someone to stay with him, Paul Fisher attempted to up the run rate and smashed a quickfire 25 but with the light going and the wickets tumbling Woodhouse were running out of time, Matt Gee attempted to to get close to the target with a smash and grab 18 not out but it was all in vain and Woodhouse closed with two runs to get. Last game of the season for Dronfield Woodhouse and they have confidently sustained their place in Division Two of the CDMCL for next season. By Paul Fisher

On a baking hot Saturday, Whittington Wanderers 2XI won the toss and asked Woodhouse to bat on a sweltering afternoon. A brisk start from Drew and Sanders before Drew edged one to gully for a rapid 36. A further loss of wickets saw Tom Baggaley get to the crease and with a steady start and Sanders starting to flow Woodhouse looked for a big score. Sadly Sanders picked out the only fielder on the Mid-Off Boundary and fell for 40, a further wicket loss shortly after saw Turner join Baggaley and the run rate increased. Baggaley celebrated his first Saturday 50 with a neat shot and more runs from Lewis saw Woodhouse close on 212-9.
