Ashby St Mary Cricket ClubA brief history of cricket at Ashby Hall...
Ashby & Claxton Cricket Club was formed before the secondWorld War. Quite a strong team by all accounts, competingwell with other village clubs. The wicket was East to West asthe meadow was originally ploughed that way in traditional10 furrow work leaving highs and lows to help drainage.
During the War years until 1944 Austin Bloom and DonaldCatchpole with others kept the wicket reasonable (it was notfenced from cattle which grazed on the meadow) & theClub’s equipment was used to practice and play amongstthemselves.
At the end of 1946 the wicket was worked on and playcommenced once again in 1947. Permission was alsoobtained from Mr. Edmund Mack to fence off the wicket.However, the cow pats that had to be regularly cleared fromaround the square were still fairly numerous in the outfield,resulting in a few dropped catches & some less-than-whitewhites!
There was no shelter or anywhere to change until a secondhand marquee was bought in 1949. This was erected in theHall grounds (“The Wilderness”) without permission fromMr Gilbert who promptly told the club to remove it,resulting in the players having to erect and dismantle it forevery game - quite a job (take note youngsters!) The tea wascollected from the Dovecote in the Hall grounds in a big urn,both provided by Gertrude and Lennie Frost. Mothers, wivesand girlfriends provided refreshments.
In the meadow opposite the George and Dragon, now partof the car park and A146 was laid a concrete practice pitchwith mat and nets. Practice was always well attended,possibly owing much to the proximity of the pub whichalways provided a thirst-quenching pint afterwards.
A very happy club, a pint or two (or more) was alwaysenjoyed while socialising with the opposition in the pubsafter the games. In fact it has been said they were probablybetter drinkers than cricketers, liking a sing-song, and the“Whiffenpoof song” (poor little lambs) was rendered aftermost games.
The last games were played at Ashby around 1962-63...
...Until now! With the kind permission and support of ChrisKemp and the hard work of Ernie Forder on the ground, thesound of willow on leather and cake on paper plate can onceagain be heard from the meadow at Ashby Hall. Off-seasonthe hay remains, but the cows - thankfully - have gone.
Thanks to Donald Catchpole for his memories, a full account of which(including a list of some original members) is available on request.
Cricket: The rules explained...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, andwhen he's out he comes in and the next man goes inuntil he's out. When they are all out, the side that'sout comes in and the side that's been in goes out andtries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you getmen still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are outtry to get him out, and when he is out he goes in andthe next man in goes out and goes in. There are twomen called umpires who stay out all the time andthey decide when the men who are in are out. Whenboth sides have been in and all the men have beenout, and both sides have been out twice after all themen have been in, including those who are not out,that is the end of the game.
Simple really...
Legend has it...
The first time Ashby & Claxton played Saxlinghamaway, their opponents were a very good team with several excellent batsmen. Larry Annison had moved to Claxton and this was his first game with the Club. Ashby batted first and only made 28 runs. Everyone expected the Saxlingham openers to knock the runs off with no problem. However Larry Annison and Donald Catchpole had other ideas,skittling Saxlingham out for 26, taking 5 wickets each.
During a match a terrific thunderstorm blew up bringing torrential rain. As the Ashby players sheltered in their famous leaky marquee a terrifying lightening bolt hit the ground near the cricket square. It left abrown mark the size of a football where it struck.
One year the Club playedOverstrand away. Ashby batsman Alfie Youngs hit agiant six over the top of somevery tall trees and out towardsthe waves. Now, this may havebeen an exageration, but a spectator was heard to say: “the bugger’s going out to sea!”. Well, it was a windy day...!
