Inaugural Matthews-Mahon Cup | Ropley CC vs London Fielders (First Ever Match!)

Saturday 6th September 2025 marked something special — the inaugural Matthews-Mahon Cup, hopefully the first of many annual fixtures between Ropley CC and the newly-formed London Fielders CC. London Fielders were playing their very first ever match as a team. Most of their squad hadn’t played for 6–20 years (apart from a quick net session in the week), but they put on an incredible display of bowling, fielding and catching. We batted first and posted 220, with 50s for Chuck and myself, both retiring and returning later in the innings. The Fielders bowled and caught brilliantly, keeping us honest all the way. After an excellent tea provided by our skipper Lloyd, it was our turn to field. Their opener scored a classy 60 (after I dropped him early on!), and my cousin Kieran Mahon chipped in with 27. The runs were shared around but wickets fell steadily, and London Fielders were bowled out for 142 in 30.4 overs. It was a fantastic day, played in the right spirit, and captured in full with drone, GoPro, and side-on camera. At 30 minutes, this video is longer than my usual uploads, but it really tells the story of the day and the birth of a new friendly rivalry. 💬 Let me know in the comments if you think the Matthews-Mahon Cup should become an annual tradition! 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe for more grassroots cricket highlights, vlogs and stories.
