The order has been placed for the new kit for the season, and the badge design has been finalised. I thought I would share the badge design with you, but the shirt design will remain a minor surprise for when they arrive. Hopefully, they will be with us in time for the first game of the season.continue reading →

Redevelopment Proposal

  • /Under Club News
As a club, we are about to take the field in battle against one of the toughest oppositions out there… the local council and housing developers. In a recent planning meeting it was announced that property developers would like to build houses on our lovely ground, and move us to a new location. Now as a club, this is not something which we are entirely against, however there are some very important considerations to take into account. The most important of which is the new location itself, is it big enough? Is the…continue reading →

Saturday Fixtures 2010

The fixtures for the Saturday league team are up, take a look on the OCA site here or on this site here. As you can see we were indeed successfully promoted last year to division 6, giving us a new breed of team to play against, and a stab at some old opponents in Garsington. First league game is the 1st May, however we are currently in negotiations for a friendly the week before this, on the Sunday. Will keep you all posted on this when we have more information.continue reading →

Aldworth CC – Home – Wednesday

The Wednesday team reconvened on the 3rd of June, having had the away fixture to Woodcote postponed due to rain a week earlier. A dry and sunny week had passed and the team was confident that a win was possible against opponents Aldworth CC who had also started the year with one win and one defeat. (more…)

Ducklington – Away – Steve Dixon Cup

Once again it seems that the Sunday match report has found it’s way onto the website before the Saturday one, I blame the captains… This week was round 2 of the Steve Dixon Memorial Cup, after dealing with the troublesome Chipping Norton in round 1 we were confident when taking on Ducklington. The difference this time? We’re away. And anyone who’s played against Ducklington will know what I mean by that… whether you’ve played football or cricket you will have experienced the same facilities and insanely low showers. Only thing shorter are the…continue reading →

Lions Club – Home – Wednesday

We came in to play the second game of the Wednesday season with high hopes, having never had lost a game, and also having completely annihilated Metal Box in the game two weeks prior. As the home team we were set the mighty task of bowling against The Lion’s Club. Bully opened with a respectable over from the field end, letting only 10 runs go, but unfortunately breaking the usual first over wicket success he has previously had! Poor Stew!! However, the elder zimbo of the side, Barry, steamed in for his first…continue reading →

Garsington II – Away – League

Having turned up at Garsington with a very enthusiastic 9, (doesn’t bowed well when one player gets stuck in London and the other loses his car keys so cant get to the ground) we thought what else could go wrong..?! Well, I hear you ask, that ‘WORST’ happened... we decided that only having 9 wasn’t enough of a start for them, a batting collapse was more fun. I myself was most guilty contributing a well played 0. Only Barry “lion king, Simba, oh crap look at the Lion at Chessington Zoo with no…continue reading →

Metal Box – Away – Downs League

I was very excited about this first game of the season, not least because it was my first game as captain. Thankfully it was an away game, made even better by the fact it was at home. As the away team we batted first. POD and Pippy went out to face off the new bowlers. The first few overs went well, with the run rate going to 10 straight away. Both POD and Pippy were seeing it well when Pippy was out to a freak run out where Pod played down the ground…continue reading →
