| Tue | 31/08/10 | 7:02 | | Incredible weekend for the club! On Saturday we bowled Dinton II's out for 69 having scored a mere 93 ourselves. The star of the show was Nick Tweed who became the first player in our clubs history to take all 10 wickets in a game - well done Tweedy.
More remarkable scenes then followed as the Sunday league side defeated Buckingham to stay top of the league - Graeme Carter scoring 101 then taking a 6fer including a hatrick - probably another first for the club! Well Done Graeme. |

Brickhill batted first and posted a very competitive 148 all out, thanks mainly to Graeme Carters 67.

Australian and South African Theme Night at the Club
We gave Liam and Garth a traditional English welcome of heavy wind and rain along with a BBQ of Ostrich Steaks, Australian Rib Eye and Boerewors Sausages. Higgsy did a grand job on the BBQ under the cover of a gazebo (which eventually blew away in the wind) and the cries of ‘will everyone get out of my light’ will ring around the ground for many weeks to come. Thanks to all who came along and to all the wives and girlfriends who made salads to go with the meats.
Clay Shoot at West Lodge
A fantastic day out for everyone who came along – not put off by the odd shower and the biting wind all those who attended had a great days shooting. Many thanks to Drayton Parslow Sporting Clays for a very professionally organised day. BBQ and Bacon Butties were enjoyed by all and our thanks also go to the ladies of the village who made a fantastic array of cakes to be sold. The final count to see how much we raised for the youth cricket at Great Brickhill is still underway but hopefully we will know by next week. Our final thanks go to our Chairman Mike Turner for organising this and also to Julia Turner and the GBCC Youth Team for providing food and drink all day to our visitors. Hopefully we can make this an annual event to be enjoyed by all.
