Marple travelled to Chester Boughton Hall for the penultimate game of the season. Persistent heavy rain meant that there was no possibility of any cricket though. Marple are now guaranteed Premier League cricket in 2019.
Chester have the most advanced facilities in the league, and were ready for play had the elements relented. There was no respite from the rain though, and any play was eventually ruled out at 2pm. There are no better places to be than Chester's impressive ground when play is not possible though. The spacious bar, restaurant area is of the highest standard with large tv screens showing the current England v India test. Marple's loyal band of spectators were also very generously treated, with complimentary sandwiches and tea and coffee provided. Many thanks are due to the hosts.
Marple will end the season with a home game against Grappenhall next Saturday 15th September, 11.30am start.
Ton Up Mummery Signs Off!
Talented Marple batsman Andy Mummery played his last game for the club last Sunday against Grappenhall, as the weather relented allowing the final third eleven fixture to take place.
Mummery made his own little bit of history with a superb 102 not out, bringing up his century with a pulled 6 over deep mid wicket. Marple had earlier restricted Grappenhall to 147 all out with the impressive Connor Bergin taking 4 for 18 with his off spin.
The club wish Andy all the best in his job in Oxford.
