CELEBRATING ITS 400Th RUBBISH FILLED PAGE AFTER THREE AND A HALF YEARS
flRTHUR . CAllS IT A DA AFTER 30 YEARS
es sadly Arthur Brownhas called it a day
and retired from regularplaying for Arkley afternearly 30 years with theclub. Sadly too.,the gamewhich was to have beenArthur’s farewell perform—ance (v. British Rail
Hatfield at Birchwood)was cancelled due toheavy rain, a fate alsosuffered by Bill Radwellof Northmet when hisfarewell game (v. ManorDrive Methodists atWoodcroft)was rained off. As opening bat and wicketkeeper Arthur hasperformed many notable feats on the pitch (unfortunately I only havefigures since 1967 and so can not give you a full playing record) andoff the pitch Arthur has done much to keep the club running smoothlyincluding being van driver in Cornwall in 1973 and at present a mostefficient chairman. We look forward to Arthur making occasional appear——ances for us.(I’ll be taking a statistical look at Arthur next month.)

Due to slow progress through the rounds the final had to be shortened
from the proposed 5 six ball overs to 3 six ball overs as it was gettingdark and the park keeper wanted to lock the park up.
In winning Peter Brown scored 53 runs off 48 balls, 27 of which he scoredoff (i8 x 1, 1 x 2, 3 x 3, 3 x 4, 2 x 6) leaving 21 that he didn’t scoreoff. Peter bowled 31 balls for 22 runs taking the wickets of 2 of his 3opponents (i caught, 1 caught & bowled)and had the other one run out.
In all 353 balls were bowled (and 3 wides) off which 488 runs were scored.230 of the 353 balls were not scored off including 11 wickets (3 bowled,6 caught, 1 stumped and 1 run out.) plus 3 run outs from balls that werealso scored off. The fastest scoring rate during the competition was byJohn Griffiths who hit 49 off 18 balls v. Cohn Johnson in the secondround
After pulling a leg muscle in his first round match against Brian Andrews,Sharina had the services of Clive Townsend as a runner throughout the restof the competition.

Paul Townsend played his 100th game for Arkley and scored his 50th run ofthe season.* Cljve Townsend scored his 10th six.” Cohn Cummings scoredhis highest score for Arkley, in four innings.* After this match BrianAndrews wins at least a share in the wooden spoon for the most number ofducks this season.* Thanks to Martin and Roy (demon bowler) Watts ofRoving Reporters for playing for us in this game and also to CohnCunimings.* Congratulations to John Griffiths for yet again turning outa full team despite the many non availabilities due mainly to theGillette Cup Final and thanks to all those who made themselves availableespecially Peter Tait who had a lot of work to do at the time. Peter wasalso unfortunately injured while fielding (colliding with Bob Ingramas he caught G.Evans) and was not able to bat.
ERRATA; D.Davidson of Potters Bar Crusaders has had 6 innings againstArkley, not 5 as stated on page 3 of the August edition of the ‘Herald’.Last months ‘Herald’ was No. 8 Series 4, not No. 7 Series 4. as stated.

Indoor Nets this close season will be from Thursday 9th
October 1975 to Thursday 29th April 1976 not including
Christmas day and New Years day which both fall on a
Thursday. The times will be between 8 and 9pm as usual
______
but the charge will be going up 5p to 3Op to cover the
rise in hire charges. Still good value thought
A quick look at the statistics I have worked on so far reveal that;
Of Mark Cripps twenty wickets eighteen were bowled and two were lbw,
Mark also made double figures in all of his 10 innings this year,
Bob Ingram bowled in every match and failed to take wickets in just two.
Mike Farrell who scored 50 in 25 minutes (off 28 balls) against us
earlier this year has parted company with Manor Drive Methodists not
on the best of terms. We hear also that Terry Broome has rejoined
Manor Drive who intend to drop the word Methodists from their title
as from next season.
John Griffiths, Clive Townsend and Bob Ingram played for Roving Reporters
against Pretenders at Barnet Playing Fields on Sunday 7th September.
John scored 33, Bob 14 as well as taking 4 for 29 and Clive would
prefer that I didn’t tell you how many he 4t4Y scored. R.R’s lost.
John :iriffiths, Clive Townsend, Bob Ingram, Peter Brown and Brian
Andrews played for a Roger Jones XI v. Northmet at doodcroft on
Thursday 18th September. John scored 2, Clive 11, Bob 0 (nil,zero,
nothing,not a sausage,bugger alfl), Peter 15 and Brian 14. Bob’s
bowling figures were 15—3—38--0 but to make up for this Clive
Townsend made three stumpings. The rest of the Roger Jones XI was
R.Jones, M.Symonds, J.Blackburn, M.Watts, M.Lack and D.Dickinson thus
it was a joint Roving Reporters, Manor Drive Methodists, Arkley teams
eight of whom have played for Arkley at least once and seven who had
played for Arkley this year. Four of the Northmet team had also played
for Arkley before (K.Kin.g, W.Radwell, P.Painter and R.Argent (W.A.fl.B.L.)
Northmet won the game by 20 runs, details below.
Both Cuttingsfrom the‘Barnet Press’
Peter Brown and Brian Andrews both had the distinction(?) of being
caught by ex Spurs and 1ngland footballer (ieorge Robb whilst playing
for Old Fincunians v Lindfield in Sussex on Sunday, September 21st.
Modesty restricts me from printing our scores in this match but we
amassed the grand total of 2 (two) runs between us. Old Finc’s lost.
The Treasury now stands at £64—07 after paying £42 for the hire of
the indoor nets during the winter. I shall print full details next
month when I have gathered in everyones annual subs (for 1975).
Ilowever Match Fees realised £48—90, Duck Club £2—65 (chief contributor,
yours truly 35p) and the Tea Profit amounted to £18—30 so thanks to all
those who have done teas this year (listed on page 10).
Due to the dull weather at the game v. Crosskeys (Fixture 33) and the
cancellation of the game v. British Rail Hatfield (Fixture 34) no team
photograph was taken this year. However there is rumour that ace camera—
—man Bob Ingram under his new pseudonym of Hyrem V. Cheap will be taking
more films at the nets this winter and is under contract froni Boreham
Stiff Studios to show any such film to any unsuspecting passer by.

PRESENTATION EVENING for the presentation of the Ted Lloyd Trophy forservices to the club, the Single Wicket Tankard, the Wooden Spoon formost ducks and several other less serious awards. This will be held inOctober or November. The A.G.M. will be in January and both these eventswill probably be held at the ‘King George’. As mentioned on page sevenNETS will on throughout the winter on Thursdays from 8 to 9pm atthe Hertfordshire Indoor Cricket School, Hatfield Polytechnic.The ‘Arkley Herald’ will continue to come to you every month butprobably much shorter editions (oh joy) and I hope to complete thefull statistics for 1975 by about Christmas*ti,ne.
*Christmas this year should be about the 25th December I think.
More details about these j4 events when they become known butmeanwhile I’ll leave you with a very silly page indeed while I goaway to think up some new excuses for scoring ducks for next year.
PS. I almost forgot to mention the Jumble Sale, in fact I did forgetto mention the jumble sale but luckily I’ve just remembered in the nick of t:
-1oa LA1’C!11 -- H6 WENT
SillY PAGE!I it true that when I asked Cohn Johnson if he wanted a book for hisbirthday he replied, “No thanks, I’ve already got one.”?
Who else but Mart Symonds could come up with the idea that if we wishedto play regular midweek cricket next year we should get a doctor in theteam so as he could sign our sick certificates with no questions asked’.
Is it true that when your editor went to give blood recently they couldonly get neat coke out?
Is it true that when the registrar said to Bob Ingram ‘Do you take thiswoman to be your lawfully wedded wife?’ Ingram replied ‘A verbal contractis not worth the paper it is written on’
Clive Norman (our guest at the home match v. Watford Taverners and yetanother member of the Manorhihl Mob) has come up with an incrediblysimple way of us improving our playing record next season, CHEAT!
A local paper in Kent had this to say on its film page about a filmin town that week. ‘ An exciting adventure of ten men’s struggle forsurvival in the dessert.’ ‘.
Is it true that Cohn Brown failed his trial as a bingo caller due toseveral unfortunate mistakes E.g. All the fives, thirty four; Twofat ladies, seventy two; Six and three, nine’.
Is it true that Peter Amass is thinking of sending his recipe for fairycakes to Jimmy Young?
It is true that your editor used the club tea pots to catch waterdripping through the ceiling of his fL/)edtcWJffi playroom aftertorrential rain on Saturday 27th September0 The room is situated inthe loft.
Definition of Cricket; 22 grown men taking a hell of a long timeknocking down a small fence’.
In the match between between Wellington Under—16 and Eton Under—16 atWellington Eton had reached 44 for 1 when their Nos 8,9,10 and 11decided to pay a visit to the school shop. Unfortunately for them fivewickets fell in quick succession and they were 47 for 6 with no—one tocome in’. The umpires agreed to ‘cloc1 the batsmen out in two—minuteintervals and 3-. minutes passed before the next Etonian breathlesslyarrived at the crease. So one batsman was out.THE CRICKETER INTERNATIONAL in which this appeared pointed out that theEton innings should have been deemed ended after two minutes had elapsed.
ANOTHER VIEW OF’. CRICKETIN THE PRESS
The Daily Telegraph.The Sunday Pimes,discoversan unfair advantage for Kent’.
Cricket terrifies me — in fact I don’tknow why I play the stupid game at all.It takes up too much time, it’s oftenvery dangerous, it has nearly causedthe end of my marriage on severaloccasions, and it costs an absolutefortune in the pub afterwards • Wespend all winter rhapsodisirag about the‘summer games
, and then the lunaticfringe pretend that winter never comesand continue playing in the lethalindoor nets. We oil our bats, pressour flannels and convince ourselvesthat this season is going to be ‘TheOne’ • And then what happens when themoment of truth comes.
