Kingsley triumph
in "derby" game
by our sports staff
THE first league "derby" game between Frodsham and Kingsley for many years resulted in a win for Kingsley.
Frodsham won promotion to the Cheshire Alliance first division last year by virtue of coming second in division two. Kinsley
were already in the first division.
The two sides clashed at Frodsham on Saturday - and the honours went to the visitors.
Frodsham batted first and were dismissed for a modest 141. Andrew Storey took 3-18 and Jonathan Ollier 5-24 for Kingsley.
Kingsley replied with 144-5 and never looked in much trouble as Kieron Olliver hit an unbeaten 52 and Jonathan Ollier
contributed 28.
But Kingsley 2nd were defeated by 12 runs at Ellesmere Port.
The home side totalled 152 despite some fine bowling from Alex Hatt, who took 5-48. Kingsley were dismissed for
140, Alex Wilson top-scoring with 45 and Nicholas Harrison contributing 27.
ROWING
Rowing club hosts
top regatta
by Mark Vallely
THE Frodsham based Runcorn Rowing Club were hosts for the prestigious Ball Cup North regatta - when 142 crews competed
in 71 races.
It was the first time the event - named after Midlands industrialist Frank Ball - had been hosted by the local club.
There were races for boys and girls in the 11-13 age group - "The Tinies Championships" - and for older youngsters
with more experience.
Organisers claimed there was a good chance that rowers who will represent Britain in the 2012 Olympics were
taking part.
Race commentator George Perrin said the original Ball Cup contest had now been split in two - North and South.
It was aimed at smaller rowing clubs and schools. The Ball Cup South was traditionally held at Egton, but the
Northern version moved around each year.
Val Edwards, co-ordinates Project Oarsome - an initiative started originally by Steve Redgrave to introduce
youngsters into the sport - at both Frodsham and Helsby high schools.
She ssaid the schools have six indoor rowing machines and the club works with the schools to introduce pupils
to rowing, first with an eight week "dry rowing" course, then a "capsize drill" followed by eight weeks on water.
Youngsters who are still interested can then become club members.
Crews from all over the North took part in the regatta on the Weaver - regatta as one of the best stretches of
water for rowing in the North.
Under the rules of the competition, Runcorn, as the host club, would not win. But they came top in the points table, with 52, leaving Queens Park High School to
be named as winners with 51. Others taking part were: The Grange School, 20, Warrington, 19, Sir John Deane's, 18,
Wellbeck, 7 and Hollingworth Lake, 7.
