15.05.2012 - Morris the stag leave town short

With the stag do of Gareth Morris scheduled for the weekend of 18th, 19th, 20th May town will be looking to the youth of the club for a match winning performance in the absence of 1st team regulars Wessels, Roome and the stag.

Castletown host Ramsey on Sunday 20th @ KWC and after the postponed fixture against St Johns, Castletown will be hoping to pick up where they left off against Crosby on 5th May.

Captain Greg Tomlinson will be looking for big performances from the likes of Daniel Laughlin, Richard Jackson and Jack Newbury to overturn Ramsey who have started well this season despite losing to an in-form Valkyres side on Saturday.

The northerners should be at full strength with the only exception being skipper Ollie Webster who is joining the Morris mayhem.

Good luck one and all!!!

10.05.2012 - Roome ton gets town back on track

After two disappointing defeats at the hands of Cronkbourne on the opening day of the season (21st May) and a resurgent Valkyres (28h April) it took an exceptional batting display from Garreth Roome to get town back to winning ways.

Garreth opening the batting against Crosby on 5th May and smashed a quick fire 106 to set an imposing total of 267. Mark Williams was second highest scorer with a stylish 69 on a good batting track.

In reply Crosby started well with Kevin Kniveton making 37 and the swashbuckling Ross Berry making 20 until Garreth Roome once again go in on the action and clean bowled Berry. As the day unfolded it looked like a good chase was on the cards until Richard Jackson accounted for both Danny and brother Kevin Kniveton the same over.

Boom Boom Morris was then brought into the attack by stand in skipper Greg Tomlinson and proceeded to take 4 cheap wickets to snub all hopes of a Crosby repost. Harry Rothwell was the last man out with Crosby closing on 132, leaving Castletown to grad the first points of the season.
 

Saturday 12th May was scheduled to be Castletown A vs St Johns at KWC however due to pitch unavailability the game has been postponed until a suitable date later in the season.

26.04.2012 - Farewell Captain Travis

April 2012 sees the departure of Ex-Zimbabwean International Travis Friend from Manx shores.

In his 3 seasons (2009, 2010, 2011) with the club he notched up 6 centuries and 1 double (227*) versus Ramsey in July 2010 which is his highest career score in all forms of cricket.

He has been a credit to Castletown CC and has had a tremendous influence on both juniors and seniors at the club.

We all wish him the very best for his move to Qatar where he will be flying long haul for Qatar airways.

Cheers Trav!
