All-Time Club Record 8th Wicket Partnership Last Saturday

Last weekend saw the first ever century partnership for the 8th wicket in the Club’s history; and it was great to see two of our favourite sons, who have made the full journey through age group cricket to our 1st XI, share the big moment.

Congrats to Will Gudgeon and Will Frost who added 106 against the Avorians.

The previous best 8th wicket partnership for the Club in any match was 95, between Phil Johnson and Harry Jordan against Oxshott, 65 years ago to this day: http://sdacc.play-cricket.com/website/results/300602 – this still remains the record 8th wicket stand for the Club in friendly cricket.

A few other partnership records have also disappeared from the list – http://www.stokecc.co.uk/record-partnerships/ – put together by the pony tailed one…

We’d like not to have to examine our batting depth to this degree too often, but at least we know we have the firepower down the order if required!
