Well, well, things seem to be looking up for the cricketers amongst us ! In his wisdom Boris looks to be taking us down a road that should mean “elite sport and athletes” ( for those in doubt, yes that’s us) can resume their activities some time soon. It remains a little unclear at present exactly when but we have a full fixture list starting with an away game at Clyst Hydon on 28th April, fingers crossed. I bumped into Janet earlier on whilst handing over a prolapse harness (for a ewe) and the good news is that Chef Eduardo is keen to resume …

Update from TMCC – March 2021
14 March 2021 By
As I type this I’m looking out over a very wet cricket field with a very full River Tale lapping along the boundary . Its that time of year when the sheep are allowed in so the outfield is gradually turning to mud – it never ceases to amaze me how nature can turn a sodden muddy mess into the Payhembury equivalent of Lords in just a couple of months. Well, we play cricket on it and you can buy a pint, perhaps after that similarities with Lords are a bit more limited.
So after a much shortened 2020 season and what feels like a never ending very …

September News from TMCC
28 August 2020 By
Such is the shortness of the 2020 season that, having used our allocated space in July to give an update on the revised fixture list, we now find ourselves in August with just two and a bit weeks of the season to go. Alas, t’will soon to be too dark for us to play in the evenings.
Our season began at The Mill with a local derby ( most of our games are) against the serfs and villains of Plymtree, mostly the latter really . The Millers batted first and the highlights were the return to health and runs for Mark Hammett and his new eyes and after …

Tale Millers CC – Latest News
28 July 2020 By
At long last Boris allowed us out to play in July! After a successful fully risk assessed Club Night to get the season up and running, we then entertained near neighbours Plymtree and came out on top with the Millers scoring 134-6 and Plymtree replying with 97 All Out. Four of our batters reached the magic retirement score of 25, Shane Tout, Ben Peters, Mark Hammett (new eye) and Si Kittow (new knee) whilst wickets were taken by Shane Tout, Will Wood, and Oli Kittow amongst others.
We then moved onto a home game with our friends from up Tale …

Tale Millers CC – June News
28 June 2020 By
Apologies, readers, for the radio silence – Cricket hasn’t really been up there at the top of the agenda over recent months, not a clue why. We are in the process of preparing the pitch for some training sessions and hopefully by early July a few of us will be able to gather and reacquaint ourselves with long forgotten skills - some of us will need a very good memory.
Of course, we had a good spell of weather whilst we couldn’t play, so no doubt our release onto the field of play will coincide with thunderous showers! We still very much hope …
