Long Ashton Cricket Club

Your LA 1st XI and 2nd XI stats for the 2026 season…

🏆 leading the way for the 1s, with the most wickets, most runs, and one of only 2 hundreds. At least the POTS award will be an easy one.
The Ball Bros .ball_ & .ball237 make up the top 3 top run scorers, and ’s 4-20 is the best bowling figures of the season.
⭐ Special mention to and his great 💯 on debut (before he forgot how to bat and decided to become a specialist bowler, taking 12 wickets at 16.50)

🏏 leads the way again for the 2s with the ball - taking 22 wickets, and Neil Wilson piles on the runs with 490 runs, including 3 hundreds (Barrow Gurney will be glad to see the back of him).
⭐ Special mention to Noah Chapman, who features in the top 3 run scorers and wicket takers for the 2s - including best figures of 5-19.

📈 Your fantasy top scorers follow a similar pattern. The Triumvirate of Char, Neil, and Noah all in the mega points. Char might even get classed as an allrounder next year - although let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

🌧️ A final weekend washout for both Saturday sides sees the 1s relegated 😔 but the 2s stay in the division in 8th.

🏆 It also means that pips to the fantasy prize money. ’s late title charge falling away drastically as he ends up in 6th. Although with £200+ raised for the club, everyone is a winner

🟢LA Occasionals beat Ashton Supernovas by 1 wicket
🔴LA 1st XI lost to Carsons & Mangotsfield by 36 runs
🔴LA 2nd XI lost to Bedminster by 46 runs
🟢LA Sunday XI beat Easton in Gordano by 113 runs

🏏 Another mixed weekend as the O’s beat the Supernovas in the dark on Friday night, a pivotal 32* from seeing them home .

😔 The 1s and 2s were 2nd best against Carson’s and Bedminster. Although Noah Chapman continues his fine form with another half century.

However Sundays game saw Owen Freeman get his first ever 💯 as they ran out winners vs EiG

Pete Chadwick is this weeks manager of the week, and takes a 196 point lead over as we head into the final game week of the season next week

Great knocks from .jason and Neil Wilson helped to lead the 1s and 2s to winning totals. Neil’s hundred backed up by Tom Barot’s 4-24 (which is very good going on that ground)

Friday night also was a success, with a great turnout and a few familiar faces returning to Yanley to play vs The Occasionals 🍻
