Issue 50

As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the temperature with it, it’s a great time to look back at the past 6 months and reflect on the hugely successful season of junior cricket that we have just had at Grange Loan. There has been so much cricket played this year that it is difficult to know where to start! We’ll begin with our youngest members and the launch of ‘Carlton Cubs’ – our new initiative that is aimed at providing an introduction to cricket for our primary 1 and 2 members. The sparkling new Cubs’ kit was handed out and it certainly looked like our newest members had a great time on Friday evenings putting their new kit to the test! We are looking to run the Cubs again next year so if you know of any boys and girls that would be interested in joining, then please get in touch. It’s always a pleasure arriving at the Carlton gates on a Monday or a Wednesday evening and hearing the competitive cheers and laughter from our primary school girls and boys. It was great to have the usual Kwik Cricket festivals back up and running again after a couple of disrupted years - the standard of cricket was very high and the future looks very bright for this age group. Thank you to Euan Sweet for organising the teams for these fixtures and dealing with the various Pitchero related queries. On that note, I think we are all (hopefully!) getting used to this platform but we’ll make sure that we issue some updated guidance in advance of the 2023 season. Siobhan says thanks to everyone for a memorable 2022 season

Our older children also turned out this year looking exceptionally smart in their new blue kit (thanks to Val Stones and Kelly Caton for organising) and participated in the various age group leagues. This year we entered a record breaking three U12 teams, three u14 teams and a U16 team into the leagues. It is always a big effort to organise these teams, so a big thank you to all of the team managers who helped us this season. Also, a extra big thank you to Kelly Foley who was keeper of an exceptionally large fixtures spreadsheet making sure that pitches were always booked. An unenviable task. As you may have heard at the annual prize-giving and throughout the year in the newsletter, we have seen some fantastic successes for the club, through the u13 team that did so well nationally and also the many individuals who have represented the district and national teams this year. This success is undoubtedly down to the hard work that our juniors put in, but also due to the fantastic efforts from our coaches and we are very lucky to have such a dedicated, skilful and knowledgeable team. All of this cricket was supplemented by our usual and highly successful parents and players matches. These are always great to watch and it is clear that the adults enjoy them just as much, than the children, sometimes even moreso! Martin Firth also organised and ran the junior sixes competition which is a great opportunity for our younger members to play alongside some more experienced juniors and benefit from their years of development and “advice”. It was fantastic to see so many of our members and families at the recent end of season BBQ and junior prize-giving. Huge congratulations to this year’s winners and a big well done to all other juniors who have participated in our coaching and matches this year. We are hoping to run more social events next year and are also looking for a social member to join our junior committee to help organise these. Again, please get in touch if you are interested. Thank you to everyone who recently completed the recent feedback survey. We are very pleased to receive the positive feedback but as always, if anyone has any further comments or queries then please do get in touch. Our preparation for next year will start in January when our winter training programme will start. More details to follow on that from Stevie. I want to end by saying a huge thank you to everyone who supports the junior structure at Carlton so well – the junior committee (Stevie, Charles, Keith, Ailsa, David, Joe and all of the people whom I have already mentioned!), the coaches, the groundsmen, our junior sponsor CALA and Pizza Geeks for their support. Last but not least, thank you to the parents and family members for all of the help during the year. We wouldn’t be able to run such a successful club without all of the support - so thank you so much. See you in 2023! Siobhan Fontenla juniors@carltoncc.co.uk

The boys put in a huge team performance to beat them which meant a trip to Neston for the Northern region finals day. Like last year after a win in the semi’s we just missed out in the final, however The boys can be extremely proud of their efforts and one thing I am particularly proud of is that we have managed to get that far in the competition two years on the trot, which I don’t believe any other club in Scotland has ever done.’ Congrats to: Freddie, James, Tom Dweck, Tom Hathorn, Hamish Foley, Hamish Turner, Oli, Harrison, John, Theo, Finlay, Aadi, Noah, Benjamin and captain James

The Junior Season in Numbers Anyone who spends any time around Carlton CC will know that our junior players play a lot of cricket. Martin Firth has pulled some stats from Pitchero which show the breadth and variety of cricket played this summer. Fixtures Junior teams played 127 matches this season, which is particularly remarkable when we bear in mind that junior hardball leagues take a break in July. The Primary School, Stars, Swifts, Caimans and Under 16 teams all played 10, but the Kwik cricketers, Strikers and Girls Hardball, all managed 11 each. Players In all, 179 players represented Carlton in at least one match - 92% of the junior membership - a great achievement. 82 players played in at least one KwikCricket fixture. We have some extremely enthusiastic players. Five players played more than 20 games for Carlton junior teams this season: Aadi Khadse, Aaradhy Khadse, James Stronach, Tom Hathorn - but the most-selected junior player this summer is Tom Sweet, with 28 games to his name. We actively encourage our older juniors to play senior cricket too, and they respond with the same amount of enthusiasm as for junior cricket. Aadi Khadse (22) & James Stronach (21) both played more than 20 senior games, with Robbie Murray, Kieran Glass, Benjamin Risi & Hamish Foley not far behind. Families Carlton is, above all, a family club. Luckily for us, cricket is a game ideally suited to juniors and parents playing together. We haven't yet seen 3 generations of a family turn out in the same game, but it must surely only be a matter of time. 45 games this season featured more than one member of at least one family. The Fifth XI led the way, featuring three family pairs on 10 occasions - 1/3 of their total games. The Mixed Dev Team managed it on 4 occasions - about 1/4 of their games, but one of those games included four family pairs! But they were both trounced by the Kwik cricketers, who fielded 5 families on two separate occasions. 31 families played together on at least one occasion. Almost all of those were 2 members of the family in the same game, but one family managed to have three members in the same game: all three cricket-playing Charmans featured in the Fifth team game against the Eccentric Flamingos. The Players v Parents match featured 4 Stronachs - 2 per side. The families who led the way with most appearances by family members in the same game are perhaps unsurprising: the Foleys lead the way with 18, closely followed by the Stronachs & (Keith) Murrays on 17, and the Khadses on 16.

JUNIOR CRICKET AT CARLTON - A LONG TRADITION We tend to think of junior cricket at Carlton as a relatively recent phenomenon, started in the 1980s under Peter Nettleton and nurtured successively by Gavin Scott, John Boyd and Kerry Simpson. However there is a longer history. In Play, the history of Carlton, NL Stevenson writing about the 1934 season notes, ‘The revival of the Carlton Juniors who had been defunct since the Club moved to Grange Loan in 1905, proved a great success and it was surely a good augury for the club to see the names of Currie, Phillips and Heath figure prominently in their team.’ These are references to the sons of prominent Carlton figures - two of whom can be seen in the First XI photo below. James Currie was no longer playing by then but did much work on the upkeep of Grange Loan and became Club President in 1945. Dr JE Phillips was born in Barbados and came to Edinburgh to study medicine. He first played for Carlton in 1913. He was club captain in 1928 and best bat in 1936. He was renowned as a big hitter - and is reported to have hit the ball into the railway at Myreside. Phillips played a handful of matches for Scotland - as Stevenson describes his international career - ‘He played for Scotland against Ireland and against Middlesex hitting a characteristic 6 off JT Hearne the Middlesex and England bowler. This audacious effort did not apparently appeal to the Scottish Cricket Union selectors for Phillips was chosen only once more for a a representative match, although for season after season he was among the best two or three aggressive batsmen in Scotland.’ Phillips enjoyed a long career - he was Vice Captain in 1948 (Stevenson’s own last year as skipper) and skipper again in 1951 and 52. The Rev HFT Heath was Carlton’s best bat and bowler in 1927, best bowler in 1928 and 1934, captain in 1929. He was an Australian, and had played First Class cricket for South Australia. He came to Scotland after the First World War, eventually becoming a Minister in the United Free Church in Edinburgh. He preached at Chalmers Church in the West Port (now demolished and replaced by a University building). NL Stevenson had 7 children! Six girls and one boy, Douglas. He does not record whether Douglas was a Carlton Junior - but it seems highly likely: he is mentioned as playing with his father in a match against St Boswells in 1929 when he ‘was still a school boy’. Batting at 11, his services were not required as his Dad saw the team home by 2 wickets. Douglas qualified in medicine and matured into some sort of cricketer and is featured in the First XI photograph for 1934. In 1939 Stevenson senior records that against Edinburgh University, he and his put on 37 for the ninth wicket. There is no further reference in Play to Currie, Heath or Phillips Jnr - nor indeed to Junior Cricket at Carlton. Sadly all records are lost in the mists of time.

What do you remember about your innings? When I went in I started batting with Keith who was already ‘in’ and batting well. Martin R fell quickly and then I had to set up a partnership with Robbie, and then Ollie. I’ve batted a lot with Ollie, so we settled in nicely and kept things going. We knew we needed to settle in, consolidate and then accelerate to keep up with the run rate. It was a big target but we ran really well between the wickets and managed to get there - which was great. Also it was one of the first times my grandad who lives down in England was watching me play, AND it was his birthday, so he was really pleased. Is this your biggest score ever? For Seniors at Carlton - yes. But this season at school my top score was 115 - which was great! Besides this match, what were your favourite matches for senior teams this year? Congratulations to Fergus Foley whose brilliant innings of 84* at Grange Loan won him the Outstanding Performance by a Junior in Senior Cricket Award. See Fergus bring up his 50 on this link. You also played for Eastern Knights this year - what was memorable about those games? EK won the whole series this year which was the first time in a couple of years. I was Skipper for the EK U15s and that was great, especially when playing with so many other Carlton players (I think there were 7 in a squad of 18 - (photo below) and we’ve all played together for years - since KWIK Cricket!!! Favourite food? Steak Favourite school subject? Geography Favourite TV show? Any sport. Favourite music? Bit of everything - depends! Who are your favourite International players (and why)? Stokes - he lives life on the edge. Bats and bowls on the front foot and is always positive. And he’s an all rounder! I really liked playing for the 3s. I didn’t bat well on that occasion, but I did get three wickets! What were your best/favourite matches) for junior teams? (This or any other season)? I really enjoyed reaching the Northern Finals last year in the U13 ECB cup at Neston - but my favourite match was against Chester-le-Street which we won at home to reach the finals. What do you think are the differences between playing junior and senior cricket? I just enjoy the step up playing for seniors.

BEN STRONACH MAURICE MURPHY AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING POTENTIAL* Ben was a key member of the Scotland u15 set up this year and made his debut for Carlton 2nd XI. Which Scotland matches did you play and where? Yorkshire - Beverley Cricket Club Lincolnshire- Grantham Cricket Club Durham - Benwell Hill CC Cheshire - Romiley CC Cumbria - Kendal - Netherfield CC Derbyshire - Clydesdale CC Ireland - Celtic Cup - Dumfries CC What are your most memorable moments from them? Taking a catch on the boundary to win the first game of the Celtic Cup. Also bowling king a double wicket maiden in the first over of a T20 match against Ireland. How did the team celebrate winning the Celtic Cup? There was no real celebration, just all very happy. Was playing for Scotland or Carlton 2nd XI difficult? What were the differences? The Scotland games felt more difficult as a bowler because the opening batsmen were always very good and if I didn't take a wicket in my first three to four overs I would be taken off. If I came back on in the middle/end overs, the batsmen were still good. Outside the internationals what have been your favourite games this year? My favorite game was when Max D'Ulisse and I took four wickets each in the 2's to beat Heriot's in a close game. I also hit 50* against Grange in the Scottish Cup. Who are your favourite a) Carlton b) international players? My favourite Carlton players are Ali Shah (because of his sixes) and Arun Pillai. My favourite international players are Mitchell Starc and the now retired Mitchell Johnson. What is your favourite food? Nandos. What is your favourite subject at school? Games (rugby). What is your favourite computer game? FIFA *The Maurice Murphy Award was inaugurated in 2019. Maurice served for many years as the club’s auditor and at the time of the first award he was the club’s oldest living member. Sadly he died in 2020. Previous winners are Zaara Dancu and Max D’Ulisse.

What got you interested in becoming an umpire? I had been interested in officiating sports for a while and tried to do football refereeing, but I was too young so thought I would give umpiring a try and it turned out to be a great idea. What was the training programme? There were 2 Zoom courses each about 7 hours long. It was mostly a presentation about the laws and how to enforce them. Afterwards we got given a link to become a member and sign up for WhosTheUmpire, the platform used to assign fixtures and resources. There was no test or anything like that - the closest you will come to that is a colleague assessment which is just another umpire giving you advice (in a more formal format) on what you could do better. It’s been really helpful. What was the best piece of advice you have received from other umpires (or players)? Take your time and be confident. Even if you get it wrong the players will be ok with your decision as they have confidence in you and your decision making. How did you feel before your first match as umpire? I was nervous and felt a bit underprepared, but it ended up going well. Sadly, it got rained off after about 30 overs, but it was a great first game with some challenging decisions. Carlton Junior Tomos Hunt began his umpiring career this season and officiated at a number of ESCA Championship and Masterton matches. He is the first junior cricketer to do so. It was a busy summer for Tomos. He also played junior cricket and turned out several times for the Mixed Development XI. Are there any decisions that you found particularly difficult? Caught behind with the keeper standing up is always quite tough as there is less time to see any deviation off the bat. The sound of a keeper’s gloves and an edge can be similar and happen very quickly. What do you see as your future as an umpire? I want to take it as far as I can and enjoy it as much as I can. What would you say to anyone else who might be thinking of becoming an umpire? Go for it, it’s great fun and if you find you don’t enjoy it then you don’t have to keep doing it. CSMOA* is amazing at helping new umpires start out and they pair you with more experienced umpires when you start to ease the pressure on you. *Cricket Scotland Match Officials Association

GIRLS HARDBALL Girls’ cricket has continued to thrive under the guidance of Sam Haggo and Neville this year. Sam says, ‘The commitment has been outstanding and it has been a pleasure to work with them.’ Zaara, Gabriella and Holly all represented the women’s 1st team and Sonia, Agnes, Maira, Clare, Sophie and Keara have represented the 2nd team. U12 HARDBALL Teams SOME NOTES ON THE SEASON FROM CARLTON’S JUNIOR TEAM COACHES Swifts – Joe Griffin and Euan Very successful and enjoyable season for the u12 Swifts who had a good blend of youth and experience. Captains, including Archie, Noah and Theo did really well to bring through the younger players. Highlights: some big wins against Grange, and beating all comers to Grange Loan. Stars – Ian Hathorn, Anish and Alison The Stars had a fantastic unbeaten season this year! They were an enthusiastic group who really enjoyed their cricket. There was a mix of hardball experience but they played well as a team, led by Tom, Lewis and Atreya. Those new to hardball developed really well over the season and everyone contributed and played in a great spirit. Highlights included: Going unbeaten all season! Strikers – Rahul and Doug The Strikers have had a fantastic season, only losing one game and that was when the team deliberately took it easy on the Stars in a derby match to boost their confidence for the remainder of the fixtures! In particular, it was great to see the growing maturity of decision-making across the squad as the season progressed – they had a comprehensive victory over Grange towards the end of the season, where we outplayed our opposition across every aspect of the game. Well done to all of the players in the Strikers squad for a fantastic season. U12 PLAYER OF THE YEAR THEO GRIFFIN He’s bowled, batted and fielded superbly for the Swifts and the Primary School team, and also been a superb influence for the younger and less experienced players - always bringing them into the game and being very positive. SG

A really great team who were a pleasure to work with and each player improved across the season A shout out to the Chuckle Brothers Jake and Freddie, who made sure things were never dull. 3 half centuries were scored - Benji’s 50* v Linlithgow, Freddie 52* v Caimans and John 53* v Penicuik Most improved player was Luke Boardman: in the last match v Stew Mel, he bowled a perfect over and should be proud of his hard work and achievement Overall we played some really good cricket, we won more than we didn’t and everybody enjoyed an evening’s cricket with their mates. U14 11 games played were by the Caimans and it was wonderful to see great commitment and friendship from the squad with Jamie & Tom playing in 9 games with Daniel & Aadi playing in 8 and the rest of the squad (Finlay, Shourjo, Liam, Blair, Matthew & Harvey) appearing in 6 or 7 matches. The support they gave each other, particularly in the field was fantastic and the fielding improved each game. The batting also got better as players realised it was important to “Value” their wicket (although The Hundred also had an influence on some shot selection). A marvellous group of boys to coach, manage and watch as they really enjoyed and improved their cricket this season. This squad had a great attitude and showed great sportsmanship. We often had to lend players to the opposition but no one ever complained! A couple of wins early in the season but one of the highlights was a great comeback in the field and a nail biting last ball defeat to very strong Watsonians team. Good all round performances all season from Hamish Foley, Kieran Glass and James Restall, Also great to see several players new to cricket in the last 2 years hit their first boundaries, take their first wickets and some great catches A shout out to Magnus who showed great improvement and to Lucus for keeping spirits up by talking ALL the time! U14 Bowler of the Year Gabriella Fontenla This young lady has gone from strength to strength this year, she is bowling fast, is developing great variations, is very coachable and is learning the game fast. So fast that even though she would have been picked in the Scotland U19 girls team this season, she wasn’t eligible because she is too young! SG Gabriella is the first girl to win this award! Cobras Brian and Dominic Caimans Ian, Rahul and Linda Coyotes Pete and Kelly U14 Batter of the year Oli Stones This award goes to a player who is still u13, but who has played in the U16’s this year. He has dominated his own age group, specifically in the U13 ECB cup where in his 4 innings he retired on 30 3 times including in the final against Whitburn. Scoring runs in the big games is the sign of a great batter! SG

‘Cricket is a great team sport and I have really enjoyed playing for Carlton this season. ‘There have been some great games, but if I had to pick a favourite moment it would be the junior sixes game at Carlton. As the teams only had 6 players there was a good opportunity for batting, bowling and fielding. ‘Another standout moment was the u14 game vs Watsons where it came down to the last ball with 2 needed to win. Unfortunately it didn't go our way but it was still very exciting to play in. ‘My favourite senior player was Neville as he was a good coach and helped me improve my game. ‘Carlton is a great place to play and has a friendly atmosphere and has lots of opportunities and teams to play for. I'm looking forward to the 2023 Season! Keith Murray congratulates Keiran: ‘Keiran has bowled consistently well in senior games, with very good line and length. His fielding and batting are also much improved. He has been a consistent attender at training, (this may not be unrelated to his improvement!) is always enthusiastic and has had a fantastic attitude in all games.’ KEIRAN GLASS MOST IMPROVED CRICKETER 2022

GIRL POWER The newly formed Women’s 2nd XI gave some younger players the chance to shine - and they relished it! ‘I really enjoyed playing on the woman’s 2nd team, everyone was so inclusive and kind. It was also a great experience as it was more advanced and gave me an opportunity to improve. ‘ Keara Ansell ‘Playing for the Women’s 2nd team has been great fun! The team is very positive and supportive. It is a very friendly environment, but we like to win sometimes! I enjoy the matches and hope I can play for them again.’ Sonia Amin Sonia was also the Girls’ Hardball Cricketer of the Year and says this about cricket: ‘I like that cricket is played in the summer especially during good weather. I also like the competitive team spirit of the game. ‘Carlton is a very friendly place and it’s very close to my house. Also it’s such a beautiful ground and I love just being there, quite often just in the nets with my Dad and brother. ‘My favourite game this year was against Watson’s when I was playing for the Women’s 2nd team. I bowled the last over and defended 11 runs against one of their players who I think was also part of the Scotland U19 squad :). ‘My favourite senior players? There are so many but I like all the senior players in the Women’s team who are always so encouraging and support the younger players.’

One of the most enduring scenes of the summer is a Sunday morning’s sun-drenched Grange Loan covered in a swarm of Kwik cricketers. 2022 saw more than 80 Kwik Cricketers represent the club as we welcomed the return of the ‘travelling circus’ of Kwik Cricket festivals. Our season began with 2 intra-club Sunday mornings which gave some of our youngest players their first taste of competitive cricket, guided kindly and sportingly by those with more experience. At the first festival of the year, hosted by Watsonians, Carlton fielded 4 teams, giving 32 players the chance to represent their club. They did the club proud with their enthusiasm, teamwork and sporting attitude, as they continued to do all year. Then we sent a team to Penicuik, to help them mark their juniors’ 10th anniversary, and, with a break in the festival schedule, Carlton opened our gates to embrace the enthusiasm being observed at the festivals by holding some impromptu events. We hosted 6 clubs and, at one point had 5 games of cricket going on simultaneously all over the outfield at GL. Carlton’s own festival, in late July, provided the opportunity for the great Martin Firth to dust off his SIBCAS keys and re-enter the Kwik Cricket organisation arena. FESTIVAL TIME Euan Sweet reviews the summer’s Kwik Cricket action. The day was a great success, and we are extremely grateful to all those volunteers who provided a wonderful welcome to our visiting players and supporters.(See Martin’s Report in NL 47) After taking 2 teams to Linlithgow, we took another two to Gala to play in the annual Rowan Boland cricket tournament. This tournament is held in memory of Rowan Boland, an enthusiastic young cricketer who tragically died aged nine. Both teams performed admirably and only lost out to 2 impressive Gala sides who went on to play each other in the final. The photo below captures some of the action. This year’s Kwik Cricket, at Carlton, can be summed up in one word – participation. Huge numbers of players representing their club in a huge number of matches. Many thanks to all the players and parents for creating such a successful season. Many thanks, also, to all those parents who stepped in to help run the teams and the games. And thank you to the ground-staff and others at the club who helped organise and set up so many opportunities for our young cricketers.

The inaugural (maybe - see next page) Players v Parents hardball match took place on Saturday 10 September at Grange Loan. There were two not entirely evenly matched teams of 12 a side; one of athletic up and coming juniors, and the other of gnarled veterans of mixed ability, helpfully supplemented by Joe Ward playing his final, final match for Carlton. Both teams wore black armbands and observed a Minute’s Silence at the start of the match in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II. I had noted that the Players’ team had significantly more players who had played at a higher level this season and suggested to the Players’ captain Ben Stronach that it might be a good idea if the Players batted first, in case the Parents collapsed. When Ben duly won the toss, he took the hint and sensibly opted to bat. However, the Parents were quickly in amongst the wickets and had the youngsters in some trouble at 39 for 4 after 10 overs. The situation was then rectified by a solid innings from Ben, initially retiring on 30*, ably supported by Dougie (32) and Robbie (33*). Oli added a brisk 23 and Ben returned to finish with an excellent 50*. With one ball left, the Players ostentatiously declared on 212 for 8 off 39.5 overs. Almost all of the Parents bowled at least one over, with varying degrees of success, and wickets were shared around, but fittingly the best figures were Joe’s 2 for 30. The Parents’ reply got off to an inauspicious start when Robbie removed me early on, but solid innings from Iain Hathorn (32), Edward Stronach (33*), Jon Foley (32) and Euan Murray (26) got the Parents close to the target. The Players rather sportingly insisted on posting two or even three slips up until the final few overs and this may have assisted the Parents somewhat. However, with only 18 required off 18 balls and lots of wickets in hand, the Parents managed to implode in the face of some accurate Players bowling and sharp fielding and ended all out for 199 in the 39th over. A most enjoyable match to close the season with the youngsters thoroughly deserving their win. It was a rare opportunity for the Parents to play against their offspring, who already look to have surpassed them in cricketing ability. We look forward to the the return match next season with some trepidation… Players v Parents There was a record number of Stronachs on the pitch in the end of season match - Keith Murray describes the action.

PLAYERS V PARENTS (2) Claims have been made that the first Players v Parents Hardball match was played this season. This is not wholly true - ie not true at all. Those with longer memories recall that a Players v Parents tussle used to be a part of the Primary Team Season. The photo below (from a private collection, as they say in the best Galleries) is from 2006. A number of the Parents appear to have been camera shy on the day, but can you spot two current first teamers, one recent vice-captain, and one former Junior Convenor?
