Winter nets commence on Thursday 4 February at St Michael’s School Otford at the earlier time of 6.45 pm. The nets will continue until 22 April and we will charge £3 per session.

What better than to work off those additional pounds earned over the festive period with a bit of hard work at the Cricket ground. We have our next working party on Saturday 2 January and we have a lot to do.

Last month we completed the ground clearance of the northern perimeter and we now need teams to:

1. Burn the very substantial bonfire
2. Erect new fencing on the northern perimeter
3. Continue ground clearance on the west perimeter

We plan to meet at 9.30am and to make maximum progress, we need as many volunteers as can make it. Major tools will be provided but if you have any suitable items of your own, please do bring them along. To reward our efforts, and with grateful thanks again to Sue Pearce, there will be bacon/sausage butties and hot drinks served mid-morning.

If you are able to join us, it would be helpful if, for catering purposes, you could reply to let me know how many we can expect.

All the very best for Christmas and the New Year.

With the new season rapidly approaching, and after persistent nagging, I have finally updated the averages on the website. Hoorah! Now the whole world can see just how close Greg was to claiming the Pat Barrett Duck Cup last season. Indeed some might say that he had a stronger case for the crown when considering the ratio of number of innings batted to total number of ducks… but I digress.

This season’s fixtures have also been updated.

Cheers!

After the success of our first winter fixture a few weeks ago, I have arranged a follow up game with the Market Porter 1st XI on Friday 12th December from 6pm.

We had a good match last time, so let’s put out another strong performance for the team!

Cheers,

Ed

Attention all players!

Just because the season’s over, doesn’t mean we have to stop going drinking together.

With this in mind, a handful of members have arranged what will hopefully be the first of many ‘winter fixtures’, against the prestigious Market Porter 1st XI. Our first fixture is on Friday 24th October (next friday), and kick-off will be 6pm sharp. The Market Porter is a wonderful venue situated a mere stumbling distance from London Bridge station (follow the link below to view a map). So for those of you who live/work in the City, this is the perfect opportunity ‘to keep your hand in’ over the winter months with your fellow teammates. And as it’s so close to the station it’s very easy for the locals of Shoreham to make the journey up (and probably back again) as well.

Everyone’s most welcome to play, so I look forward to seeing you all there!
