Bowerchalke CC Fixture Card 1961

Bowerchalke CC Fixture Card 1961
Comments
This fixture card was in Uncle David's collection and has been annotated with the results of some of the matches played that season, although not all.

As you can see there are a number of scribbles in the fixture card to reflect changes to the schedule after publication.

As you can also see from the front cover David Gulliver was captain and Robin Gulliver was vice captain. Mr Beckly was secretary and treasurer and Mr Case was President. There are some familiar names in the list of vice-presidents again with some top military connections!

Having seen a number of these fixture cards now it would be worth creating some sort of club officers list at some point, need to give that some more thought.

Summary of results

If you look closely you can see a summary of Bowerchalke CC's 1961 season: won 13, lost 2 and drew 1. There are two games recorded as 'C' presumably for 'cancelled'. If this is complete and accurate this summary implies that quite a few games were cancelled or the result was not recorded for some reason, including the whole of August and September. This needs looking into.

• April 29th 1961 versus Hale (home) won
• May 6th 1961 versus South Newton (away) cancelled
• May 13th 1961 versus Great Durnford (away) won
• May 20th 1961 versus Broadchalke (away) won
• May 22nd 1961 versus Poole Old Grammarians (home) won
• May 27th 1961 versus Little Durnford (away) draw
• June 3rd 1961 versus Great Durnford (away) won
• June 10th 1961 versus Amesbury (away) cancelled
• June 17th 1961 versus Breamore (home) won

• DATE UNKNOWN versus Bere Regis (NOT KNOWN) won
• July 1st 1961 versus Breamore (away) won
• July 8th 1961 versus St. Pauls (NOT KNOWN) lost
• July 9th 1961 versus Farley (NOT KNOWN but probably away as a Sunday) won
• July 15th 1961 NO FIXTURE LISTED although I wonder if the fixture was the one above versus Bere Regis? It's one of the few 'gaps' in the fixture list so I guess it's possible.
• July 22nd 1961 versus Fordingbridge (away) won
• July 29th 1961 versus Wiltshire Queries (home) won
• August 5th 1961 versus Wiltshire Queries (NOT KNOWN) no result recorded

• August 12th 1961 versus Little Durnford (home) no result recorded
• August 19th 1961 versus Fordingbridge (home) no result recorded
• September 2nd 1961 versus Poole Old Grammarians (POG) (home) no result recorded
• September 9th 1961 versus Broadchalke (home) no result recorded

May 22nd and August 7th were Mondays, presumably Bank Holiday Mondays. June 19th was also a Monday.
