Eastry vs Boughton and Eastwell 16/06/2013
Having lost the toss Eastry were invited to bat on what looked a flat wicket. However Eastry seemed to ignore this fact immediately, losing two quick wickets; Aaron Friend’s being a particularly ugly shot to complete his pair for the weekend. Ned Gleave joined Pete Eastman at the crease and went about the rebuild. Gleave …

Eastry vs Northdown 15/06/13
Saturday saw Eastry travel away to Northdown, and upon arrival the team quickly saw that the famed Northdown winds were ever present even with a alter game in the season. After tightening up their caps to the highest setting Eastry took to the field, and were surprised to find a track with great pace and …

Eastry vs Sandwich TCC 02/06/13
Having lost the toss, Eastry were put into the field on what looked a docile track. However, Eastry were instantly rewarded by some hostile opening bowling courtesy of Matt Deveson. Eastry’s early inroads had put them firmly on top, but the combination of two Chapmans at the crease helped Sandwich stop the rot. Ben Chapman …

Eastry vs Wickham & Stodmarsh 01/06/13
On Saturday Eastry were away at Goodnestone to take on Wickham and Stodmarsh CC. I arrived twenty minutes before the start time to find only one person at the ground, Captain Aaron(aero) Friend who, I am now led to believe, had been out to examine the middle and measure every possible distance from the middle …

Match Report – Home vs Elham 18/05/13
It was nice for the Eastry pigeons to finally play in non gale force winds for the first time this year, as they were again led by vice captain Matt Deveson. Elham won the toss and chose to bowl, which proved to be the right decision as Friend and Deveson were strangled for runs during …

Match Report – Eastry vs Deal Vics 05/05/13
After putting Deal Vics into bat, Eastry claimed early scalps through Hill and Deveson. However, Toon and Francis set about rebuilding the Deal innings. What followed was akin to a period of Cold War detente, with neither side able to act decisively to change the nature of the game. Toon and Francis were able to …
