Match Report: Dave Stupples After last week’s fixture wash out and one of the wettest July’s on record Park Hill players could be forgiven for wanting to jet off for sunnier climes. Some persistent pestering and badgering on the club Whatsapp group eventually yielded a full complement of players, despite the notable absences of the… Continue reading 29/07/2023-Park Hill buckle up for turbulence with Blue Wings
With wind speeds in excess of Hill's quickest bowling and heavy rainfall in the build up to the game, doubts abounded as to whether Hill would have the opportunity to extend their winning streak. The visiting captain's enthusiasm and punctuality in calling up for a morning pitch report was not matched by his errant charges,… Continue reading 15/07/23 – Mallu You Believe It?
Another near-subcontinental outfield was the inevitable result of the hottest June on record, as Hill made the journey over to West Byfleet looking to make it 4 wins on the bounce. With a youthful XI featuring no less than 4 teenagers and the absence of regular top order batsmen, the decision to insert the opposition… Continue reading 01/07/23 – Warriors Vanquish By Vithlani’s Stand
Grammarian: a person who studies and writes about grammar. The above definition will problematize the events of the toss: no, of course this was lost (again). However, given that the visitors to Fortress Ruxley Lane had spent the previous 5 minutes pleading vociferously against enforcing the leg-side ruling and then still decided to have a… Continue reading 24/06/23 – Hill Left Wide-eyed In Run Fest Vs SinjunGrammarians

By Will Chipperton The now-customary scramble for players carried on until Saturday morning as holidays and self-isolation continue to ravage our membership. Keen to avoid last week’s fate of playing with 10 against (then) league leaders, we managed to field 11 players in our clash against second placed Sutton Challengers. The captain regrettably won the… Continue reading Sat Match Report – ‘Challengers See Off Hill In Saturday’s Scorching Heat’. 17/7/21 –Sutton Challengers Vs Park Hill
Report by: Alex Mackay In contrast to our regular Saturday skipper’s situation, we were very much hoping for a positive result which would lead to a potential promotion push. Turning up to Tudor Drive with the standard wet weather, with only 10 players available, it is safe to say not all were keen to get… Continue reading Sat Match Report – ‘Playing when the ‘Chips’ are down’. 04/7/21 – AMY Vs Park Hill
Report by Dafydd Jones The fiscal scene has not looked good for a long time now, and then suddenly the sun came out and we were bathed in glorious golden rays of vitamin D. The team had been selected full of Park Hill die-hards, the type that would have preferred tea and creamy scones to… Continue reading Sun Match Report – The great Bank of England. 13/6/21 – BoE Vs Park Hill
With a grand total of one player available by Monday afternoon, things did not look particularly positive for Park Will ahead of their clash with the Sharks at Fishponds. However, special thanks must go to everyone’s favourite Welsh Zimbabwean (Daf) and Clare H for stepping in and ensuring that we could field 11 players. After… Continue reading Sat Match Report – The Su-Spencer Is Killing Me. Hill snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against the Sharks. 26/6/21 – Park Hill Vs Spencer Sharks
Hill sought to build on the impressive victory last time out against a side languishing at the foot of the table. This, coupled with the strong XI that were available for the encounter, meant that all things pointed towards one thing: an underwhelming performance. At least that was how things seemed to have gone in… Continue reading Sat Match Report – Walk in the (Raynes) Park as Hill canter to victory 12/6/21 – Park Hill Vs Raynes Park
