Am selben Tag trafen dort zwei M\u00e4nner zum ersten Mal aufeinander, ohne voneinander zu wissen. Doug, in seinem 22. Jahr f\u00fcr Devon, bestritt ein County Match auf dem wundersch\u00f6nen Fort Field. Und der 15-j\u00e4hrige Moritz aus Hamburg, der in einer Wohnung \u00fcber dem Fort Caf\u00e9 neben Ferien machte und sein erstes Cricketspiel erlebt, sah den linksarmigen Bowler spielen. 44 Jahre sp\u00e4ter wurde Doug von seinem Stammplatz au\u00dferhalb des Pavillons Zeuge, wie Moritz auf demselben Boden f\u00fcr die G\u00e4ste schuftete. Wie schade, da\u00df keiner von beiden wu\u00dfte, da\u00df sie sich schon einmal begegnet waren. Vielleicht h\u00e4tte Doug Moritz sagen k\u00f6nnen, wie die Pilgrims Sidmouth schlagen k\u00f6nnten. Ohne seinen Rat wurden sie nur Zweiter.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2418\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1018\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1-768x386.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/>Dennoch waren die Pilgrims begeistert, im sonnigen Sidmouth Cricket zu spielen. Umgeben von einem reetgedeckten Pavillon im Norden, hohen Klippen im Osten und Westen und der Nordsee im S\u00fcden, hat das Spielfeld gewi\u00df ein einzigartiges Flair. Beeindruckt von der Landschaft freuten sich die Pilgrims, auf dem herrlichen Platz an der K\u00fcste zu spielen, und traten zuerst im Feld an. Vom Spielfeld aus konnten sie die Flut kommen sehen, wie die endlosen Runs ihrer Gegner, die sie unter Wasser setzten, mit kaum einer Chance, die Flut zu brechen. Pilgrims-Kapit\u00e4n Dev gab allen Spielern die Chance zu bowlen, mit Ausnahme von Keeper Adrian, der einen Batsman aus dem Weg r\u00e4umte, aber nur Nabeel (2), Cam und Dev (je 1) konnten Wickets erzielen. Dev und Mithun fingen jeweils einen Ball, und Chris beeindruckte beim Versuch, es ihnen mit einer Reihe von Schmetterlingseinlagen nachzutun. Mit dem jungen Will als umsichtigem Topscorer (58), 3 Batsmen, die jeweils mehr als 40 Runs erzielten, und 4 weiteren Spielern retired, erreichte Sidmouth nach 40 Overs problemlos 275\/4.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-1024x361.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-768x270.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-1536x541.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-2048x721.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Zeit f\u00fcr einen Tee, der ganz traditionell von Lorraine und Rob serviert wurde, deren charmante Gastfreundschaft gar nicht genug gelobt werden kann. Leider konnten weder Quiche oder W\u00fcrstchen in Teigmantel, noch Schokoladenkuchen oder Scones die Pilger ausreichend f\u00fcr die Er\u00f6ffnungsrunde von Odin und Leo st\u00e4rken, wobei ersterer zwei Wickets nahm, ebenso wie Riley, und letzterer die Run-Rate effizient niedrig hielt, ebenso wie Charles. Cam erzielte 40 Punkte, ungeachtet der 2 B\u00e4lle, die er entgegen den \u00f6rtlichen Gesetzen ins Aus schlug, Satya 31*, Nabeel 25 und Steve 19*, aber es war nicht genug. Zur Ehre der Pilgrims sei angemerkt, da\u00df alle 11 Spieler die gesamten 40 Overs durchhielten, bis sie 163\/8 erreichten. Eine kleine Zeremonie beendete die Begegnung.

Berichten zufolge spendete Sidmouth die gro\u00dfz\u00fcgige Mitgift ihres Sponsors f\u00fcr einen wohlt\u00e4tigen Zweck. W\u00e4hrend die Sonne langsam \u00fcber den malerischen H\u00fcgeln von South Devon unterging, fuhren die Pilger zur\u00fcck in ihr Hotel in Exeter. Ger\u00fcchten zufolge fanden sie dort M\u00f6glichkeiten, f\u00fcr das Spiel am n\u00e4chsten Tag im Valley of the Rocks aufzutanken.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2419\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-2048x987.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Die Reise nach Exeter hatte am Abend zuvor begonnen, nachdem die meisten eine lange Fahrt von Heathrow aus hinter sich gebracht hatten, kompetent von Dev und Satya chauffiert. Nach ihrer Ankunft trafen sie sich in einem Pub, der passenderweise \u201eGeorge\u2018s Meeting House\u201c hie\u00df, wo sie auf Cam, Chris, Adrian und Jess trafen, die von ihrem Ausflug viele Fotos zur Erinnerung machte. Nach einigen Zwischenstopps, bei denen sich auch Steve dazugesellte, beendeten die Touristen ihren Streifzug durch den lauen Abend in der Topsham Brewery Bar an den Exeter Quays. Einige von ihnen h\u00e4tten von dort aus noch weiterziehen k\u00f6nnen, andere, nicht zuletzt J\u00f6rg, begr\u00fc\u00dften \u201elast orders\u201c. Schlie\u00dflich mu\u00dften die Pilger am n\u00e4chsten Morgen noch das malerische Zentrum von Sidmouth erkunden &#8211; und sich auf das bevorstehende Cricket einstellen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-1024x780.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-768x585.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-1536x1170.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250723_205146-2048x1560.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Heligoland Pilgrims<\/strong>: Dev (c), Adrian (wk), Ankit, Cam, Chris, J\u00f6rg, Mithun, Moritz, Nabeel, Satya, Steve<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sidmouth<\/strong>: John (c), Charles, Harry, Joseph, Leo, Odin, Patrick, Riley, Robie (wk), Siboto, Will<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bericht<\/strong>: <em>Max Minor<\/em>, Cricket Korrespondent, (\u00dcbersetzung <em>Max Minor<\/em>, unterst\u00fctzt von DeepL)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photographie<\/strong>: <em>Jessica Mancuso<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"anchor\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>44 years on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2417\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-1024x447.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-768x335.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-1536x670.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_134814-2048x894.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>44 years before Heligoland Pilgrims arrived in Sidmouth, Ian Botham took the Ashes, almost single handedly. On the same day, two men met there for the first time, albeit without knowing of each other. Doug, in his 22nd year for Devon, appeared in a county match on the beautiful Fort Field ground. And 15-year-old Moritz from Hamburg, on holidays in a flat above the adjoining Fort Caf\u00e9, watching his first cricket match, saw the left arm bowler play. 44 years on, Doug, from his regular seat outside the pavilion, witnessed Moritz toiling for the visitors on the same soil. What a shame, neither of them realised they had encountered before. Maybe Doug could have told Moritz how the Pilgrims might beat Sidmouth. Without his advice, they only came second.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2418\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1018\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_175529-1-768x386.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/>Nevertheless, the Pilgrims were delighted to play cricket in sunny Sidmouth. Surrounded by a thatched pavilion to the North, high cliffs to the East and West, and the North Sea to the South, the field certainly has an inimitable flair. Stunned by the scenery and thrilled to compete on the wonderful seaside ground, the Pilgrims fielded first. From the pitch, they could see the tide coming in, just like endless runs of their opponents submerging them, with hardly a chance to break the flood. Pilgrims\u2019 captain Dev gave everyone a chance to bowl, except keeper Adrian who stumped one batsman, but only Nabeel (2), Cam and Dev (1 each) were able to collect wickets. Dev and Mithun took 1 catch each, and Chris impressed with a number of butterfly-attempts to follow suit. With young Will top-scoring 58 in a circumspect manner, 3 batsmen exceeding 40 runs each, and 4 others retired, Sidmouth reached 275\/4 off 40 overs easily.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-1024x361.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-768x270.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-1536x541.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_143734-2048x721.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Time for a tea, served in a very traditional way by Lorraine and Rob, whose charming hospitality cannot be praised enough. Alas, neither quiche or sausage rolls, nor chocolate cake or scones could fortify the Pilgrims enough for the opening spell of Odin and Leo, the former taking 2 wickets, as did Riley, the latter keeping the run-rate down efficiently, as did Charles. Cam scored 40, notwithstanding the 2 balls he hit out of bounds against local laws, Satya 31*, Nabeel 25 and Steve 19*, but it was not enough. To the Pilgrims\u2019 credit it has to be noted that all 11 of them stood the whole 40 overs, until reaching 163\/8. A small presentation ceremony concluded the encounter. Who knows what the young Sidmouth players, who dispersed quickly, will tell about this match 44 years on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2421\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-1024x301.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-768x226.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-1536x451.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_191220-2048x601.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Sidmouth\u2019s vigilant captain John and stoic umpire Tim still joined the visitors for a refreshing drink at the bar or outside the pavilion. Surprisingly, not a single bottle of Erdinger products was consumed, a unique new experience for the Pilgrims. Reportedly, Sidmouth donated their sponsor\u2019s generous dowry to a charitable cause. Whilst the sun set slowly over the scenic South Devon hills, the Pilgrims drove back to their hotel in Exeter. Rumours have it they found ways to refuel in preparation of next day\u2019s match in the Valley of the Rocks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2419\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250724_192212-2048x987.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>Exeter was where their journey had started the evening before, after the majority\u2019s long drive from Heathrow, competently chauffeured by Dev and Satya. Upon arrival they had met at a pub fittingly called \u201cGeorge\u2019s Meeting House\u201d, where they teamed up with Cam, Chris, Adrian and Jess who took lots of photos of their excursion for memory.
