Please forward this message to interested parties and see you there!
We are also looking for someone to kindly sponsor the 2010 fixture card. £60. will cover the cost of printing the cards and will entitle the purchaser to an advert on the front of the cards as well as on the club web site for the season, and also our sincere gratitude. In previous seasons someone has always kindly come forward to do this and if one of those would like to do so again or a new person or business would like to volunteer, we would be equally grateful. Please contact me for further info.
Many thanks

At their end of season presentation evening, hosted at The Brewers Arms, 50 members of the cricket club turned out to find out who had won the season’s trophies. Introducing the presentations, Club Captain, John O’Brien thanked all those who helped out in so many different ways – members of the Committee, tea ladies, fund raisers, ground staff and supporters. Chris O’Brien then presented the awards as follows:
Best Bowler – Liam Banfield
Best Batsman – Tom Adams
Best All rounder – Danny Dancer
Young Player of the Year – Liam Moss
President’s “Spirit” Award – Ed Nichols
“Champagne Moment” – Des Evans
Chris was then surprised to find herself the recipient of the “Clubman” of the Year award for her work over the last ten years raising money with her fruit and vegetable stall in the village.
A special award was made to David Ennals as he retires from captaining the Non League side after many years, and a gift was given to Jon Nichols for his continuing hard work in making the Youth section the success it is today. Bouquets of flowers were presented to Leanne and Sally for their long suffering toleration of their partners’ dedication to the cricket club, to Jane Ennals for her support to David and the Club over the years and to Rachel Bailey for her dedication to keeping an immaculate score book.
By the time this goes to press, the youngsters will have packed bags at Waitrose to earn funds for the club, and hopefully, several older members will have met for the annual Boxing Day walk. Please watch out for notices of our forthcoming fund raising activities in 2010, and we would welcome your support.
2010 sees the Club fielding two Saturday League sides, two Evening League sides, a Non League Sunday side and four Youth teams. Hopefully fixtures will be published here or on notice boards in the village – we have a lovely pitch and pavilion, so please feel free to come along and support the teams.
Patricia Bailey, Club Secretary
