Bowerchalke CC Season 1969: The Knapman Cup

INTRODUCTION
In a previous blog entry we made reference to The Knapman Cup. This was a local cricket knockout competition in the Salisbury and District Area, twenty overs per side, played in midweek evenings. We believe it was organised by Farley CC as that is where The Semi-Finals and The Final were played (nice place to play). We'll need to find out a bit more about the history, we assume that it is still played for today but will try and confirm that somehow. Interestingly, both our Dad (for Bowerchalke and Bishopstone) and KeithG (for South Wilts) have actually played in winning teams! And that leads us nicely on to the 1969 season...

BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 1968?
As already referenced in this blog, Bowerchalke was knocked out of The Knapman Cup in 1968 by South Wilts. We assume this was in the first round of the competition. The first attempt to play the game on the 14th June 1968 was abandoned because of rain after 9 overs with South Wilts 74-1. On the 24th June 1968 South Wilts made 121 for 6 and beat Bowerchalke (90-5) by 31 runs.

KNAPMAN CUP 1969
Interestingly in the 1968-69 scorebook the scorer highlighted the 1969 first round match as The Knapman Cup along the top of the page, presumably to draw a distinction between this game and the normal fixtures. However, s/he mistakenly started to write in Morrison Cup...and then scribbled it out. We know that our Dad also has a Morrison Cup winners trophy at home...so was The Knapman Cup its successor? All references we can find to The Morrison Cup on the Internet seem to relate to football not cricket. If you know anymore about this let us know, send an e-mail to bowerccmem@btinternet.com

Bowerchalke CC Fixture Cards 1968 and 1969

A CLOSER LOOK AT 1968 AND 1969
You may be asking yourself: why take a closer look at these two years? Well, this week we obtained our first Bowerchalke CC scorebook which covers these two seasons! A brilliant find! Our Mum found it tucked away in an old storage box! We'll take a closer look at some of the matches in future blog entries. It will be interesting to see how the scorebook matches up with the fixture cards (e.g. extra games played).

Anyway, first of all here are the two fixture cards.
