Party seven moments

Every week as a team we vote on the best moment of the day. That crowing moment of glory is called the Party Seven Moment (PSM) as written in the fanzine scriptures back in the middle ages. The winner of this prestigious award (shown above being held by our over-sized Richie Partridge) then has the privilege of writing the match report and emailing it in before the start of the next match (but ideally by Wednesday).

Sometimes the moments are all about good cricket. Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they are about a man getting weed on by a mangy dog (Yes – and that went to Dave Day – here’s the match report!)

2020 the PSM of the year went to Dan H for his 3rd diamond duck in a row! Here’s the fabulous match report from Lindfield: ‘Operation 3 of Diamonds’.

2019‘s winner was Terry for hitting himself in the bollocks at Staplefied! here’s the match report.

2018 saw the Hunky Dunky Trunky take the big prize for his performance at Jevington – walking out with no bat – ‘his extreme incompetence was rewarded!’

2017 Biffo won for his wicket taking ball to clean bowl the final batsman and to win the game at Warninglid (match report here), while in 2016 saw Dom (below left) take the PSM of the year trophy for his match winning 6 to beat the previously-thought-unbeatable Twineham…and to bring up his 50 at the same time! Read the match report here.

In 2015 Ian Sewell won it for his match winning delivery off the last ball of the match (read match report here).

The year before (2014), Terry Burgess won for his amazing moob catch (re-enacted below with Del) on the boundary to dismiss the dangerman in Sidbury on tour (read match report here).

In 2013, Del boy won with his first slip flick to run out the dazed and confused man at Wivelsfield (read the match report here). In 2012 Tel boy took the honours for cruising past his 4000th run in his 250th match against Poynings (read the match report here), the year before that (2011)  the overall best PSM went to EO for his heroic antics at Hammerwood to win the match (read the report here), and the year before that (2010) it was Alan “The Wall” Gallagher, for smashing his 6th four in an over at Poodle Street (read the match report here) on his way to his maiden 50. Great knock, great over, great cider, great chicken curry!! Back in 2009, Robbie took the honours for playing out the last ball in one of those legendary draws, with our back to the wall, he batted for an unexpected 27 hours to stave off the 90mph (plus) bowlers in the dark, rainy conditions (read the match report here).

PSM Winners for 2021 were:

18th Apr         HorleyRick Flynn for his ???. Here is Rick’s ‘Hammy Love Mighty Greys news bulletin’ – match report.

16th May        Warninglid – washout? 

23rd May        Hartfield – Dimu – for, when taking the gloves for the first time ever, performing a lightning-fast stumping to remove one of the openers. An amazing feat in itself but one that was only possible as he was basically standing-up to the quite rapid bowling of Diamond Dan! – match report.

30th May       Goldstone Cainers – Robbie Hoare – for a cutter that pitched middle and leg and hit the top of off, the batsman playing a forward defensive – match report

6th June         Bodle Street – Rick Flynn – for the one he pummeled one of the front row with a Death From Above cherry-bomb sixer that caused instant swelling to the Fresial milk sackery, whilst the poor recipient was reclining in Cow Corner, sort of not really though…or was it the drive up a hill that he can’t remember playing? – match report.

4th  July:         Denton/LittlehamptonIan Sewell who, with a tree-lined backdrop was unable to immediately pick the trajectory of the shot played to wide mid-on off the last ball of the innings. Two-runs all day long (apparently) – match report.

In 2011, the PSM winners were:

24th Apr Cuckfield – Ibrahim for throwing in, over Jerry’s head and donking 2 Cuckfielders on the head: dink donk!

1st May Warninglid – Ian for his sharp diving pluck at first slip off Ibrahim to remove their hard hitting slogger who was oh-so threatening. It flew over Jerry’s shoulder.We were
pleased to see the back of that badboy.

8th May Twineham – Dave Day for getting wee’d on by that mangy dog at tea. Dave was drinking tea at the time, and was not a happy chappy.

15th May WG Gracefully – Dave Day again for a really sharp caught and bowled on a belter. The guy smashed it back at him and he instinctively put the mits up and straight in it
went. It was the man who Dave also got last year, in a very painful way. Poor bloke is jinxed
by our Double Dee.

22nd May Bodle Street – Del Covill for a high swirling catch at mid on with a dive to cap it off at the end to remove their no. 3 dangerman. Plenty of skin off the elbows to take it a few
inches off the ground. One of the best ever.

29th May Bolney – Alan Alan Alan Alan Galagher for his glorious text book cover drive; bisecting the fielders, timed to perfection and raced away down the hill.

5th June Brunswick Village – switched at the last minute to Lewes Priory. Fixture washed out!

11th June Sidbury Tour – Ibrahim Azami for removing the NOTs star batsmen, bowled through the gate with a superb delivery when he was spanking everyone else around the
park.

12th June Luppitt Tour – Fixture washed out!

19th June B & H Crescent – Biff Line for his fantastic shot through the covers. Che was on form that day.

26th June Jamaica Inn P’s – Alex Fenton for stumping one of the Pirates off Double Dee. No mean feat and totally unprecedented.

3rd July Hassocks – Ibrahim Azami for a superb slips catch in a truly remarkable win against a very strong side. Winning PSM’s is one sure way to improve your grammar Ibu!

10th July Lindfield – Alex Fenton for an amazing full length above the head catch of a rapid Double Dee bouncer. We didn’t even see it!!

17th July Streat- no match

20th July WG Gracefully – Del Covill for his pull shot off the G giant.

24th July Ansty – Tel Burgess for his quip “are you bringing him on at the death?”

31st July Burpham – Robbie Hoare for his fantastic diving slip catch off Del.

7th Aug Firle – Jerry Brasher for his clip over “sqaure” leg for a sixer!

14th Aug Ashurst – Disappointingly match not played.

21st Aug Warninglid – Robbie Hoare for his 200th wicket taking delivery, caught at cover by Del.

28th Aug Staplefield – Ian Sewell lolliping around to take a well judged skier.

4th Sep Poynings – Dave Day for his fantastic straightening delivery that left the Poyning #3 standing there in a forward defensive pose looking back at his jigsawed stumps in dismay.

11th Sep Hammerwood – EO Sewell for his match winning final run. Really it was for the whole final over. So so amazing!

18th Sep Brunswick Village – Alex Fenton for his diving catch, managing just to get his fingers underneath the ball, much to the amazement of the oppo.

25th Sep Forest Row – unfortunately, no fixture here this year.
