Chemistry Cricket Match 2014

On the 7th of July the Chemistry Department hosted the annual Students vs Staff departmental cricket match in memory of Arthur Hartwell. Several members of WEIG, Rob Channon, Sophie Kinnear and Glen O'Neil took part in the match, with other members of WEIG on the sidelines giving support to their colleagues.

Despite starting the match in the rain and coming off after two overs, a full 12-a-side, 22 over game was possible. The staff (heavy on technicians, light on academics) put the students (mostly PhD's and a few undergrads) into bat in moist conditions.

The Arthur Hartwell Memorial Trophy was won by the Students (136 for 7 vs 86 for 6) and gleefully accepted by the student captain Rob Channon. The day was a contrast of strong performances by newcomers and several dropped catches. In the end; faster hitting and better fielding granted the students a 50 run victory.

The Harry Wiles Sporting Performance Cup was awarded by Alison Rodger to Sophie Kinnear for "a fantastic spell of death bowling (2-0-4)".
