Moseley Ashfield U9s perform well in their first festival

The Under 9s came 3rd in the Warwickshire District tournament at Weoley Hill cricket club on Monday 21st June 2010. Seven teams battled to win the festival, in 2 groups. The Ashfield side recorded victories against Kings Heath and Weoley Hill, losing narrowly to Harborne. James captained the side well, and everybody played well. More importantly the team and their parents had a really great evening in the sunshine !

Postcard from Dubai to all at MACC from Mohammed Azam

25.1.2008 only 11 months to Xmas !!

Hello everyone at MACC. Its 18'C-20'C, v hot for me, but the locals are walking around with coats on. I get strange looks walking with a 1/2 sleeve t-shirt. Its a v. cosmopolitan city with loads of activities. and tall skyscrapers. There is hordes of Russians buying up everything. I was almost 'Red' with envy!! Food is great. Anyway - I'm off to desert safari, then scuba diving, then camel riding - all before lunch !! Take Care. See you at 1.00pm on May 5th.
Bye Mohammed.

Perhaps best Mohammed is a science teacher and not an English teacher. And one can only assume it is a 1.00pm start if he is planning to see us at 1.00pm !?! Anyway - good to hear from you Mo!!

Will it ever stop raining???

Thanks to those who braved the elements on Friday evening. Catherine for preparing the delicious food for the barbecue, Tommo for cooking behind a tarpaulin sheet to keep the monsoon off the barbecue, the 2 Chelles for their impressive face painting, Neal and Bridget for their stirling service behind the bar as usual and those of you who turned up in your wellies to support the club! Surprisingly I had to cancel the bouncy castle, can't think why!!
In the vain hope that one day we may play another cricket match the youth section have purchased a water removal machine for the club which will remove water from the pitch making it possible to play cricket.
You never know that might stop it raining. We can but hope.
For those of you off on holiday have a good time and I hope you find some sun.
For those of you who are here the Club is open on Friday nights for training(weather permitting) any parents who'd like to help out when coaches are on holiday that would be much appreciated. The bar is open whatever so come along and have a drink.
First or Second Eleven matches take place every Saturday afternoon, Ladies matches and friendlies take place most Sundays. Check your fixture card for more details.

Michelle Hughes and Lewis Strong are aiming to run a cricket summer school weeks beginning 30th July and 6th August for more info click on Youth on the homepage of the website.
See you soon have a good summer.
