27/9/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Final Results.

Week 20 Details

All over then. For the first time, I think, it has been won in the final week. Gards top score for the week of 235 has carried him to the top of the table finally edging out the Sheikh while Chris's cunning plan of actually having some players still playing for him ensured a place in the money.

If you are really anal about this and can't work out why Heslington has got so many points it's cos I cocked up a week 16 transfer but his points are right now. Any other demands for recounts to be made at the Dinner but beer may be involved.

Pete.

14/9/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Week 18 Results.

This could be the week that AH won it......

Some big scores this week as Test players cashed in along with some now departed Foreigners. Will Gards survivors manage to claw back the points on the remnants of the Sheikh’s team? Can Rowland squeeze the Chairman out of the money? Can the useless shower in my team stop me going from one end of the table to the other?? Week 18 Details

All to play for still, as we go into the final few weeks. Note I made a mistake with Akin's week 15 score so he now has 35 extra points. PLG's 3 changes and PJF's 1 made it before the deadline. No more changes. Week 17 Details

Cheers, Pete.

1/9/02 - Nomads triumph over Norton.

A much used headline but I couldn't resist it one more time. The Nomads are Honda winning trail once more thanks to an emphatic 8 wicket victory over Norton. Match Report.

1/9/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Week 16 Results.

A remarkable performance by Rowland who had two players not scoring and a record four with negative scores!!

Church Eaton made 162-7 but a torrential downpour meant that the match was abandoned at Tea. Match Report. 2002 Records.

2/8/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Week 12 Results.

It couldn't be more close at the top with just a single point between Gards and the Sheikh.
Gards replacement of the injured Bicknell by Saggars benefitted him to the tune of 56pts but exceeded by Ross's timely introduction of Knight - 99pts...ching!
CARs replacement of three bowlers cost him 29 points....
Meanwhile at the bottom of the pile the Whale had best score for the week.

The Nomads posted a record score of 277 for 2 (Garner 156*, Hussein 63), eclipsing the previous best 271 for 2 against Four Oaks Saints. A storming response by Church Eaton left them in a winning position needing 16 off 4 overs with 7 wickets in hand.

14/6/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Week 5 Results.

Cheers, Pete.

8/6/02 - Nomads Fantasy Cricket Week 4 Results.
