| 16 nov 09 | Lymington skip over Clay Hill Lymington's young side were full of confidence after a convincing league win over Hythe and Dibden the week before. Put in to bat, Josh Thacker (26 retired) continued his fine form, and in partnership with Simon Naylor (25 retired) the two put on 94 in the first six overs. Cameron Grierson (25 retired) continued where the openers left off as Lymington posted 167 off 12 overs, for the loss of just two wickets. Extras played a large role, with Clay Hill notching up 74 wides in the Lymington total. Lymington's opening bowling attack of Pixie Elliot, and Josh Bowering started well, with only S Thompson (41) making a meaningful contribution for Clay Hill. Pix finished as the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 22 off 3, with Cameron taking two good catches. Clay Hill eventually finishing on 73 all out at the end of the sixth over. A convincing win for the young Lymington team. Next week sees them back in league action against Pywell Park. SN |

Next year there will be a new person in charge. Presidents Match The Lymington Cricket Club Annual Presidents match sponsored by Pimms was played at the Sports Ground in glorious weather on a belter of a track. Brian Hobby was our host as two competitive sides met for the annual bragging rites. Lymington batted first and young Felix Ambrose made batting look very easy with 19 delightful runs but succumbed to the wily leg breaks of Will Hayward. In fact Lymington struggled for runs as Steve Andrew not only rolled back the years but rolled over messrs Rushbrook/Barton & Simon Cook in the space of four overs helped by a super catch at mid wicket by Scott Tapper. Fortunately Cameron Grierson 52 chose the occasion to play a sensible innings well supported by Mark O’Sullivan 24 and the final total of 213 at least made a game of it as the Presidents X1 eyed up the chance of an early victory plus plenty of Pimms. Jon Hardy 14 & Steve Andrew 14 started the chase but both fell to young Josh Thacker who also took out Peter Tapper after playing his only two cover drives of the season. However our newest Life Member Neil Trestrail rose to the situation and merrily blasted 44 and along with Gavin Bailiff from Bashley with 29 hoisted the score towards the target. Martin Hunt played a little cameo of 34 and finished the game with a minnow six into the gallery as the Presidents X1 sneaked home by one wicket. The match came on the back of an excellent week for Lymington with not only the 1st X1 winning the SEPL 20/20 but our 3rd X1 captained by Lee Moors have secured promotion from Regional 4 South West. Lymington X1-213 for 9 off 40 overs C Grierson 52 - Presidents X1-216-9 off 33 overs |

| 18 Aug 09 | More woe for the Ones; Thirds close in on promotion Lymington were well beaten by champions-elect Havant in their penultimate home game. Chasing the visitors' sizeable 257-8, Lymo collapsed from 65-1 to 70-6 and were eventually dismissed for just 147. The Second XI returned to winning ways with a 5 wicket win at Purbrook with Jamie Harvey grabbing 5 wickets. Lee Moors' Third XI remain top of their division with just two to play after a 3 wicket win at Burley. The home side totaled 188 before Tim Beer's half century set Lymo on their way to victory. On Sunday at the Sports Ground Bashley cruised to a 6 wicket victory in the annual Dale Middleton Memorial match. Lymington gear up for big night at the Rose Bowl Captain Christian Pain reports no new injuries ahead of his side's massive Twenty20 final at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday (7pm). Key bowler Simon Cook has recovered from the knee injury that prevented him from bowling in the semi-final win over Portsmouth, so apart from Bryn Darbyshire who suffered serious facial injuries during that match, Lymington have a full squad to pick from. Lymington will be backed by a large traveling contingent, and with opponents Ventnor reportedly bringing 200 supporters across The Solent, it should be a noisy night out at the Rose Bowl. Minibuses will be leaving the Sports Ground at 5pm, a few spaces may still be available - ring Trevor on 07812 699650 for more details. A special souvenir programme is being produced for the match. The publication will include articles on some of the tastier previous Lymington v Ventnor encounters plus pen pictures of both teams and a run down on how the sides reached the final. It can be bought on the night at the Rose Bowl for just £1 with all proceeds going to Bowel Cancel Uk, one of the late Terry Trodd's favoured charities. Remember, remember, whatever you do, if you're going to the Rose Bowl wear yellow and blue! |

| 13 Aug 09 | Thirds only ones to win; and it's the end of an era at the Sports Ground The Seconds fared little better, going down to a 4 wicket defeat against Flamingos at the Sports Ground despite 65 from Tom Thorp. Better news at Woodside where Scotty Tapper hit a sparkling 125 and Luigi Di Maria took 7-24 including a hat-trick as the Third XI routed Centurians by 212 runs. match report
Jacko's highest score for Lymington was 126 against Leckford in 2001. He was the first batsman to score a century at Woodside, and in 2007 also became the very first player to register a hundred on the new electronic scoreboard at the Sports Ground. Strangely enough, it was an incident with the ball rather than the bat that provided Jacko with one of his most memorable moments. In an inter-club match he had to bowl at Peter Tapper. To wind the batsman up, Jacko put every fielder on the leg side boundary, and then danced with delight as Taps attempted a rare offside shot and was caught behind! |

| 4 Aug 09 | Rose Bowl here we come!
The final on Wednesday August 19th (7pm start) sees Lymington face their old foes Ventnor under the Rose Bowl floodlights. Historically, games between the two clubs have always been highly competitive affairs, and this promises to be no different. A list will be put up in the clubhouse for those requiring transport from Lymington to the Rose Bowl for the match. All three of Lymington's league matches on Saturday were abandoned without a ball being bowled.

| 6 Jul 09 | Heavy derby day defeat for Lymington Lymington sank to a hugely disappointing 110 run SPL defeat in the first of three meetings with Bashley in the space of eight days. Andy Sexton's century helped Bash total 271-7 before Lymo were dismissed for 161. Tommy Barton did at least salvage a modicum of pride for Lymington who were at one point 24-4. The Isle of Wight youngster scored 56, including two sixes and nine fours, and almost inspired Lymo to salvage an unlikely draw before Bashley wrapped up the victory with just under 5 overs to spare. Lymington will be hoping for a vast improvement in their two encounters with the same opposition next Friday (in the Presidents Cup final at Langley Manor) and at the BCG next Sunday (in the Twenty20 Cup quarter finals). match report Both the Second and Third XIs got back to winning ways after defeats last week. Josh Thacker and Simon Naylor were the stars of the Seconds' low scoring win at East Tytherly. They scored 29 and 34 respectively as Lymo crawled to 135 all out. Both players then shared five wickets to help dismiss the home side for 101 - almost a quarter of those runs coming in wides! Sleepless nights don't seem to have done Jamie Harvey's fielding any harm - the proud new father of baby Emily took four catches including a stunning one handed effort above his head! Mark O'Sullivan celebrated his return from University with six wickets as the Third XI's opponents Ellingham were shot out for just 88 at Woodside. Damian Jayasinge (29) was the only man to fall as Lymo wrapped up a 9 wicket victory to consolidate their place at the top of HCLSW4. |

| 31 May 09 | Full house at last for Lymo It was a long time in coming, but for the first time in several seasons all three Lymington league sides tasted victory on the same day and the Sunday side as well. The First XI maintained their splendid start to the season with a four wicket win at St Cross. Morgan Rushbrook's early brace of wickets set the tone for the match, and although the home side recovered from 82 for 6 to post 149, Lymo seemed to be cruising with Glyn Treagus (71) once again in imperious form. However, as is often the way, Lymington's middle order wobbled before Captain Pain and Jamie Harvey guided the visitors home with four wickets and four overs to spare.
The Seconds recorded their second win of the summer at a sweltering Sports Ground. Nicky Elliott continued his fine early season form with four wickets as visitors Hythe & Dibden totalled 207 for 9. Mark Jackson and Simon King both struck 60 as Lymington cantered to a seven wicket victory. The Third XI made it four wins from four at Woodside thanks to a fine spell of bowling from evergreen latino Luigi Di Maria. He took 5 for 6 as Mudeford were dismissed for just 40. Lymo cruised home for the loss of just one wicket. |

There were also telling contributions from Simon Cook (3-20), Ollie Kelly (42no) and Glyn Treagus (32). match report Meanwhile, Tom Thorp returned from his Australian adventures to inspire the Third XI to a 5 wicket win at Beaulieu. Thorp top-scored with 79 and immediately dedicated his innings to his new Australian sweetheart Sheila, while Simon King also chipped in with a half century as Lymington overhauled the home side's 212 for 9. |

Lymington are delighted to have secured the services of former Australian Test bowler Simon Cook as their overseas player for the forthcoming season. Simon, or 'Cookie' as he is more commonly known, represented his country in two Tests against New Zealand in 1997, coming into the side as a replacement for Glenn McGrath. The first of those two appearances saw Cookie take seven wickets at the Waca, including a career best 5-39 in the second innings. Among his victims were Nathan Astle, Craig McMillian and Chris Cairns. It was a rapid rise to the international arena for a player who had previously made just a handful of First Class appearances for Victoria and New South Wales. When injury brought about a premature end to his professional playing career in 2001 after just 34 First Class and Test appearances, Cookie entered the world of coaching and for the past two years has been employed as the bowling coach for the New South Wales state side, working with the likes of Brett Lee, Stuart Clarke, Nathan Bracken and Doug Bollinger. He has also been Sydney Cricket Club's Chairman of Selectors and has been keeping in trim with regular appearances for the Old Australia side. The 37 year old right arm bowler and left handed batsman was recommended to Lymo by close friend Tim Smith, a former Lymington overseas player and currently Director of Cricket at Sydney CC. Tim has no doubts that the 37 year old fast bowler will be as big a success at Lymington as his previous recommendations Karl Whatham, Pete Smith and Craig O'Shannessy all were. Tim claims that Cookie is a yard or two quicker than Craig, and can also bat a bit too. Cookie himself is relishing the opportunity to play club cricket in England, especially with Lymington about to embark on their first season in the Gold League. He's hoping he can pass on some of the experience he's gained during his career... and enjoy a pint or two after the game of course! Speaking of his Test debut, Cookie recalls: "It's every kids dream to play for their country and I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to do that. Naturally I was a bit nervous before the match, but once the game starts, you just get on with it and enjoy the opportunity that has been given to you. My best memories were being presented with my baggy green cap before the start of play, and taking 2-34 and 5-39. Oversleeping on day two of the Test and missing the team bus was probably the worst moment, as captain Mark Taylor told me in no uncertain terms!" We wish Cookie the best of luck for the 2009 season with Lymington. Ex-Lymingtonian in All Star XI Another Aussie with Lymington connections has recently been included in the prestigious Australian Cricketers Association's One Day Team of the Year. Aaron Heal, who played for Lymo in 2002, was selected by his fellow professionals after a string of fine bowling performances for his Western Warriors team in the Ford Ranger Trophy competition. New Hampshire recruit Marcus North was also included in the side, while former South Wilts batsman Chris Rogers was nominated as 12th Man. Aaron is returning to England this summer to play for Rishton in the Lancashire League, following in the footsteps of West Indian legends Michael Holding and Viv Richards who both played for the Lancashire club. |

| 3 Feb 09 | David Irvine 1923-2008 David held various positions during his stay with the Club, and became 1st X1 Captain for 1959/1960 and 1961. His batting was his strength and scored 229 runs in 1958 and 292 runs in 1959. In those days Lymington only played friendlies and very little cricket was played on Sundays. David was voted in as 2nd X1 Captain in 1966 & 1967 and during this time David had the rare distinction of scoring a century for the 2nd X1. In between his stints as captain David won the Frank Robinson Trophy in 1964. David was also a General Committee member from 1959 to 1970 and was elected as Treasurer for 1966/67 & 1968.
After his playing days were over David continued to support the Club and was elected Honorary Auditor from 1970 until 1983. At the AGM in 1983 David was elected a Vice President, which he was immensely proud of and always took an interest in the fortunes of our Club. David was also a great supporter of Sussex and was a member for many years and also of Hampshire. |

| 7 Jan 09 | Indoor League News Lymington had mixed fortunes last Sunday by losing their cup match with Fawley but beating Paultons in a re-arranged league match. Last year's cup winners batted first against Fawley but only Christian Pain 25 & Neil Trestrail 28 really troubled the scorers and a final total of 107 was always at risk. Fawley galloped off at the start however a game they should have won at a canter turned into a thriller. Needing only 5 off the last over panic took over and wickets fell and there was a chance that Lymington would snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Wayne Smith prolonged the agony by completely missing the final two deliveries but Fawley won virtue of losing less wickets. Lymington had the chance to regroup and remain undefeated in their quest for the league title. Lymington always appear to bat first and this was no exception. All the batsmen scored runs with Mr Pain & Mr Naylor reaching retirement plus Neil merrily slogging 20 off one over. With the addition of 32 extras Lymington rattled up 147. Paultons made a game effort to keep up with the run rate and three of their players retired but surprisingly and completely out of character Lymington only conceded 8 extras. With only three games left Lymington are in a good position to win the title for the first time in several years. |
