2016 Season Review

The season 2016 was ultimately one of disappointment for the Tigers, at least on the field, where 14 of the 23 matches were lost (60%). Despite this there were some outstanding performances:

End Game

Sunday 25 September 2016   Highgate CC

JUDD STREET TIGERS 132 all out lost to HIGHGATE CC 255-6 by 123 runs

In a weekend where Middlesex won the cricket County Championship for the first time in 23 years, and Arsenal finally scored a league goal against Chelsea (plus 2 more), anything seemed possible, but sadly the Tigers could not end their season with a win

Train Crash

Sunday 18 September 2016    North Middlesex CC

JUDD STREET TIGERS 183-9 lost to RAILWAY TAVERNERS 185-4 by 6 wickets

The Tigers’ mini-revival came to a sudden halt at the well appointed North Middlesex ground in Shepherds Cot, their thirteenth reverse in a disappointing season, well beaten by a revitalized Railway Taverners, who put in a much improved performance from their defeat at Winchmore Hill two weeks ago.

Tigers dine on roast leg

Sunday 11 September 2016  Paulin Ground, Winchmore Hill

JUDD STREET TIGERS 91-3 beat MAYFIELD CC 89 all out by 7 wickets

The Tigers kept up their improved September form with a comfortable victory over new local opposition Mayfield on one of the warmest Sundays of the summer.

Long Trousers

Paulin Ground, Winchmore Hill    Sunday 4 September 2016

JUDD STREET TIGERS 267-2 beat RAILWAY TAVERNERS 102-7 by 165 runs

Look out, Boden’s coming!

A win at last! the first since the end of July’s somewhat pyrrhic victory over nine-man Acme.

Short Trousers

Paulin Ground, Winchmore Hill     Sunday 21 August 2016

JUDD STREET TIGERS 218-4 lost to CINCINNATI 219-4 by 6 wickets

In the week that Machali – the world’s most famous tiger (after Chris Wright)  – died in India, the London Tigers suffered another disappointing reverse at the hands of Cincinnati at a dreek, windswept Winchmore Hill.

On a glorious sunny August afternoon, in perfect batting conditions and on a good track, the Tigers rolled over, bared their soft underbelly and were dismissed for 111 inside 32 overs.
