4 Welcome......to the inaugural Fixture & Events book of Ashby St Mary Cricket Club. The club once known as Ashby & Claxton Cricket Club & then Thurton & Ashby Cricket Club has been re-formed as Ashby St Mary Cricket Club with the aim of enjoying a regular friendly game of cricket, whilst upholding the values of competitive enjoyment and fair play set out by it s original members all those years ago. We welcome all spectators, helpers & new players - both young & experienced - down to the meadow at Ashby Hall (a map of directions appears later in the book). For anyone wishing to obtain a fixture for next year, advertising in the 2011 fixture book, or if you re interested in playing, you will find a list of contacts at the front of this book. Lastly, thanks must go to the Club s sponsors and advertisers for their valued support, and of course all the non-playing helpers who contribute and support us throughout the summer. It is always appreciated. Enjoy the season!

5 Ashby St Mary Cricket Club A brief history of cricket at Ashby Hall... Ashby & Claxton Cricket Club was formed before the second World War. Quite a strong team by all accounts, competing well with other village clubs. The wicket was East to West as the meadow was originally ploughed that way in traditional 10 furrow work leaving highs and lows to help drainage. During the War years until 1944 Austin Bloom and Donald Catchpole with others kept the wicket reasonable (it was not fenced from cattle which grazed on the meadow) & the Club s equipment was used to practice and play amongst themselves. At the end of 1946 the wicket was worked on and play commenced once again in Permission was also obtained from Mr. Edmund Mack to fence off the wicket. However, the cow pats that had to be regularly cleared from around the square were still fairly numerous in the outfield, resulting in a few dropped catches & some less-than-white whites! There was no shelter or anywhere to change until a second hand marquee was bought in This was erected in the Hall grounds ( The Wilderness ) without permission from Mr Gilbert who promptly told the club to remove it, resulting in the players having to erect and dismantle it for every game - quite a job (take note youngsters!) The tea was collected from the Dovecote in the Hall grounds in a big urn, both provided by Gertrude and Lennie Frost. Mothers, wives and girlfriends provided refreshments.

6 In the meadow opposite the George and Dragon, now part of the car park and A146 was laid a concrete practice pitch with mat and nets. Practice was always well attended, possibly owing much to the proximity of the pub which always provided a thirst-quenching pint afterwards. A very happy club, a pint or two (or more) was always enjoyed while socialising with the opposition in the pubs after the games. In fact it has been said they were probably better drinkers than cricketers, liking a sing-song, and the Whiffenpoof song (poor little lambs) was rendered after most games. The last games were played at Ashby around Until now! With the kind permission and support of Chris Kemp and the hard work of Ernie Forder on the ground, the sound of willow on leather and cake on paper plate can once again be heard from the meadow at Ashby Hall. Off-season the hay remains, but the cows - thankfully - have gone. Thanks to Donald Catchpole for his memories, a full account of which (including a list of some original members) is available on request.

7 Cricket: The rules explained... You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game. Simple really...

8 Legend has it... The first time Ashby & Claxton played Saxlingham away, their opponents were a very good team with several excellent batsmen. Larry Annison had moved to Claxton and this was his first game with the Club. Ashby batted first and only made 28 runs. Everyone expected the Saxlingham openers to knock the runs off with no problem. However Larry Annison and Donald Catchpole had other ideas, skittling Saxlingham out for 26, taking 5 wickets each. During a match a terrific thunderstorm blew up bringing torrential rain. As the Ashby players sheltered in their famous leaky marquee a terrifying lightening bolt hit the ground near the cricket square. It left a brown mark the size of a football where it struck. One year the Club played Overstrand away. Ashby batsman Alfie Youngs hit a giant six over the top of some very tall trees and out towards the waves. Now, this may have been an exageration, but a spectator was heard to say: the bugger s going out to sea!. Well, it was a windy day...!
