With a strange, but perhaps apt turn of events, our final game of this season sees us return to the Womb, our former home of several seasons before the (entirely beneficial) move to Oakfield Park. While the council have clearly done a bit of repair work to the pavilion in the aftermath of the various[…]

Here it is – the much-anticipated annual ‘All Star’ game against Ash Village CC. I cannot give it a better introduction than that provided by our former Team Director, hence I quote from his WhatsApp message: ‘Being an ALL STAR is everything! The pinnacle of your Village Cricket career. For those who win their first[…]

Another weekend, another game at Oakfield Park, and this time we are hosting Tonbridge Foresters, led in inimitable style by their Kiwi captain. Aiming for a repeat performance of his earlier success as stand-in skipper against Borden, we are led by Jack Rogers and, in contrast to last week, we have been provided with 10[…]

This fixture got off to an inauspicious start as our skipper-for-the-day was immediately confronted by a player shortfall, with a miscommunication on the part of the Power 2 (who were both away for this game) leaving us with only 10 men. Handily, we can call on a senior figure in the club who happened to[…]

Ide Hill CC kindly stepped in to the breach this week, as our scheduled opposition had to withdraw, perhaps having heard about our demolition job on Borden last week! The oppo have asked for a 35-over game, so there will be an outcome one way or the other. It’s a late-summer scorcher at Oakfield Park[…]

The weather again threatens to disrupt carefully-laid plans, but Reigate confirm that our fixture will go ahead, barring monsoon conditions on the morning itself. The venue is a new one for us, at one of their out grounds, and the journey takes a bit longer than some of us are anticipating, so we arrive in[…]

The latter half of July had been badly affected by the weather, with both weekends essentially washed out. This meant that, by the start of August, we were very keen to get back to playing again. A further bonus came when this week’s opponents contacted us in advance to notify us about a post-game (60th)[…]

Another week, another fixture, and yet more debutants for Stone CC this season – we welcome friend-of-Camo Matt (contributing yet another in the illustrious line of Matts in the club) and friend-of-Vice Tom. We are also bidding farewell to Dari who will depart soon after for the West Country for his naval training. Skip was[…]

The absences of the Skipper and Vice Skipper (both on holiday but, they are keen to stress, not together) means that the mantle of leadership is passed to Double-O Dino, who is protecting his unbeaten record as captain from last year. We are joined by yet another debutant, Andy, who has turned out against us[…]
