Oval meeting for John Daniels with Michael 

Atherton 

John was presented with a special coaching 

certificate by the former England captain during the 

first Test against South Africa. He has led the Bexley 

Borough U13 girls’ team to two Lords indoor finals 

at the London Youth Games, winning once and 

finishing as runners up in the other. 

The girls’ team continues to flourish in Bexley and 

Sidcup, with several players going on to have trials 

for Kent. 

Daniels was one of 12 coaches who met with 

Atherton during lunch on pitch at the Kia Oval, 

all of them being acknowledged by the Sky Sports 

ECB coach education programme’s reward and 

recognition scheme. 

“Sky Sports has given fantastic exposure to coaching 

and to the game in general,” said Daniels. 

“With the ECB, their funding of the coaching 

- C L U B - 

Bexley’s John Daniels recognised for 

outstanding service to grassroots cricket 

Michael Atherton presents John Daniels with his certificate 

qualifications has really 

incentivised us to go on more 

courses.” 

The Sky Sports ECB coach 

education programme aims to 

attract and train coaches at all 

levels of cricket in England and 

Wales. 

Congratulations to John on this 

much deserved recognition. It is 

thanks to John’s dedication and 

commitment to Girl’s cricket in 

Bexley Borough that has helped 

lead to the formation of girls 

sections at Bexley and Sidcup, 

which are now thriving and on 

Thursday 3rd August we saw the 

launch of a joint Ladies team 

between Bexley and Sidcup 

which we hope will lead to a 

Ladies 2nd XI at Bexley and a 

Ladies team at Sidcup in the future as well.

Bexley 1’s V Hartley 1’s 

Saturday saw the eagerly anticipated top of the table 

clash between Bexley and Hartley, suprisingly I won 

the toss for the second week in a row and decided 

that on a fairly decent looking wicket we would 

have bat. Things didn’t really get off to the way we 

would have liked as Min was out second ball caught 

at square leg. George then strode to the crease and 

he and Greg consilidated before Greg was run out, 

Sandeep was caught for not many and then George 

was bowled by a ball that turned a mile leaving us 

88-4. Jack and Riles then tried to reconsolidate, and 

did so sucessfully to an extent Riles finishing with 

35 and Jack 50 as Bexley finished their 50 overs 

on 219 All out!! We knew that early wickets would 

be the key and unfortunately this wasn’t the case 

and when we thought we had the breakthrough the 

umpire seemed to be the only person in the ground 

that didn’t hear the edge from Hockers. Hartley continued 

to accumulate the runs and we found wickets 

hard to come by, and they reached the total 4 down 

in the 45th over, Riles the pick of the bowlers with 

1-30 off his 10. The result puts us 14 points behind 

Hartley and moves us down to 4th place but it is all 

still very tight and all to play for!

1st XI suffer disappointing home 

defeat to Hartley 

Hartley IIs V Bexley IIs 

Thankfully Hartley won the toss and elected to bat. 

We got off to an excellent start with Joe Russell 

clean bowling their number 1 with the 3rd ball of the 

game, Tom Scorgie then got in on the act and bowled 

their other opener cheaply. Joe followed this by taking 

the wicket of their Skipper with a magnificent 

caught and bowled. At this stage we were bowling 

and fielding excellently and Hartley were reeling at 

19-3, with the white Balotelli finding his voice in the 

field things were tough going for the oppo. 

Joe took his 3rd and final wicket, bowled again with 

a classic slower ball after which he ran down the 

wicket and told the departing batsman that he was 

much too clever for him! A brief partnership of 30 

was then ended with a change of bowling bringing 

on Furzy who dismissed their number 6 caught behind 

courtesy of an excellent diving catch by Archie 

Woodgate…… sorry I meant Richie Barclay. 

Joe finished with magnificent figures of 15-5-30-3 

bowling his overs straight through. This brought 

about the introduction of Jas and Pasky into the attack 

who between them took the last 5 wickets for 

12 runs in 10 overs leaving Hartley all out for 103 

and giving us an extra 8 overs. Pasky took 3-3 and 

Jas 2-9. Jas has now taken 31 wickets in the season 

so far and is still 8 wickets ahead of his nearest rival. 

Now for the hard part. Our chase started magnificently 

with Murts and Richie taking us along to 30-0 

off 6 before a collapse of ridiculous proportions saw 

us drop from 30-0 to 40-5 in 5 overs. What followed 

was a very hard fought 50 partnership between Stan 

Wells and Ian Mobey patiently defending against 

their 2 spinners and waiting for the bad ball. When 

Mobes was caught behind for 28 we only needed 15 

to win which was duly knocked off at a run a ball 

by Pasky who clearly doesn’t understand the phrase 

“get your head down”. 

In amongst all this was Stanley Wells, my rock of 

Gibraltar. His patient 21 not out off 48 balls batting 

at No.3 was simply sensational. So often this year 

Stan has been the stand out batter and I am glad his 

efforts this week were rewarded with a victory.

Bexley 3’s V Blackheath 

The 3s arrived at Loring knowing nothing but 20 

points would suffice against bottom of the league 

Blackheath. Having lost three players and an umpire 

in 24 hours - it seemed like a tough ask. However, a 

change in changing rooms signalled a change in fortunes 

in an afternoon that saw many a first. The first 

time over 200 runs had been scored in an innings at 

loring in 2012, the first league game of the season 

for Sully, the first time Deano has run a three and by 

the looks of things the first time their number 8 had 

ever held a bat (a wicket is a wicket, Bondy). 

So Bexley were to bat first and a promising start 

from Moore and Richie set us up nicely. Unfortunately 

both gave their wickets away cheaply and 

there was an obvious need to dig in. Stroudley and 

Griggs started to build a partnership until Aiden 

gave his wicket away cheaply after a promising start. 

Webster showed his experience by digging in and 

occupying the crease with an important 17. Stroudley 

went on to score 56 and Peters added a quick fire 

25 to finish on an impressive 212/9. 

Although confident Bexley knew they would still 

have to perform to get the win. The opening pair 

of Bond and O’Sullivan looked a class above the 

Blackheath batsmen finishing with 2 and 4 wickets 

respectively. Newell and Griggs picked up one each 

to finish them off for 92 after one of the most boring 

number 11 innings ever seen (5 from 55 balls). 

So 20 points the target, 20 points achieved. Another 

big game this week as we take on Blackheath City of 

London. A win would put us in a comfortable position 

for a solid finish to the season. The same attitude 

and desire will definitely be required.

Bexley 4’s away v Ashford town 

Both teams were without an umpire so we tossed and 

were sent in by the town, on a very hard, true deck. 

Brilliant batting display all round, with Richley 

getting 28 , Guiners 40 odd, Clay 25 and a smashing 

red ink 60 for Louie Terry on his debut for the 

4’s. We finished up with 189 off our 50, which we 

thought was a decent score. 

After tea we went out to bowl, and thought the 

wicket would turn so opened up with spin. Guiners 

took a few early wickets, another 4 fer, Terry, 

another spinner snared 2, Clarkey bowled tight and 

consistent lengths yet again, which really frustrated 

the batters. Blandy’s second spell was solid, also 

taking 2 wickets. The lower order batters put on 

a winning partnership, Town needing only 3 off 3 

overs, with 2 wickets in hand. The captain brought 

Guinners back on, and he bowled the last 2 in 3 

balls, for a 20 point win from the 4 th eleven. We are 

now 4 th in the table, a sensational effort considering 

every week we lose on average 3-5 of our best 

players. Next week we’ve got Rodmersham, looking 

to consolidate our position in the top 4. 

Bexley Ladies XI’s v Brighton & Hove 

After a number of weeks off with rain cancelling 

games and County cricket taking the stage the girls 

were together again at Brighton & Hove, after a tireless 

week of asking many ladies to play, we could 

only manage 9, due to the Olympics and holidays. 

We decided to travel as bonus points were better 

than losing 5 points. With the sun shining and the sea 

breeze bellowing away we lost the toss and weirdly 

were put into bat, Elyse Villiani and Alice Davidson- 

Richards made an awesome opening stand 146, 

Elyse Villiani making a century before middling one 

to deep square leg, Alice batted through the innings 

making 70, a few unlucky decisions and lucky catches 

saw Bexley all out for 194, a respectable score. 

With 9 fielders it was hard to plug the gaps, which 

made building pressure almost impossible. After 

some hard work we picked up four wickets before 

Brighton made the total with Holly Colvin (England) 

making an unbeaten 98*.

Bexley C.C. Colts 

It has been a trying and testing season for all of the 

Colt teams what with battling the awful summer 

weather and constant changes of fixtures and venues. 

The managers and coaches, some new to the perils 

and pitfalls of Colts cricket, have done an amazing 

job keeping it all together and trying their hardest 

to make it all work out. A big thank you to all the 

effort the managers, coaches and helpers have made 

for making the best of what has been a season of 

frustration and frequent headaches. We have just 

about completed the Colts season and fortunes 

have been mixed. Whilst it is always pleasing to 

be successful, for some it has been a learning curve 

and the next season will bring further challenges but 

the experiences learned throughout the 2012 season, 

albeit curtailed, should stand all of the Colts in good 

stead for 2013. 

It is at this time of the year that we say goodbye to 

our current Under 16 squad. Over the past five years 

this squad has been one of the most successful in 

many years at Bexley CC. Winning their respective 

leagues all but once, Under 12 and Under 14 Cup 

winners, Kent Under 15 Champions, National 

South of England finalists in 2011 and Genese Cup 

winners, they have probably done the lot. A very 

talented group of cricketers who can boast at least 

six Kent County representatives over the years and 

they all have ability in all aspects of their cricket. 

Andy Furze and his “staff” must be very proud of 

what they have achieved over the past seasons and 

Bexley CC must take some credit in the development 

of these lads, some of whom have so much natural 

ability. It takes a lot of hard work and understanding 

to make a squad gel together and maintain such a 

high level of performance over the five years. Well 

done. 

Under 16’s. NKJL Under 16 

Division One Champions 

In a league of only eight teams pitch time was 

always at a premium and losing only two games to 

bad weather and a concession in another, they only 

played four complete matches. That said, they stuck 

to the task and won all four matches played scoring 

good points along the way leading to their winning 

position. 

Old Elthamians 63 for 8 

Bexley CC 64 for 1 

In their last ever NKJL match on Friday 6 th July, they 

played Old Elthamians away and following heavy 

rain all week, the wicket was quite damp. It was 

a welcome to Rob SEHMI, our new acquisition 

from Belgium and a current Kent Under 17 squad 

member. Winning the toss, the right decision, 

Bexley bowled very well and the opening attack of 

Harry FURZE (4 overs 3 maidens 1-2) and Harry 

CHAPMAN (4 overs 1 maiden 0-5) put paid to 

any chance Old Elthamians had of posting a high 

score. Backed up by the other bowlers and some 

exceptional fielding with two outstanding catches 

for Ajay BUNGAR and a good run out for Jordan 

FISHER, OE’s could only muster 63 for the loss 

of 8 wickets. In reply Bexley made light work of 

knocking off the required runs with George HALEY 

(28) and Harry FURZE (22*) taking the spoils. 

Probably not the sort of match to finish off their 

NKJL involvement but successful nevertheless. 

Final League Table 2012 

Under 15A’s 

With their involvement, albeit frustrating, in the 

Under 15 ECB Cup competition, league fixtures 

began stacking up and it was a challenging finish to 

the end of the 2012 season trying to fit matches in 

where possible and not without controversy. Added 

to this was the Genese Cup competition to fulfil. 

Old Colfes 42 all out 


On Sunday 15 th July Old Colfes came to Manor Way 

and winning the toss decided to bat. With chances 

of dropping points not batting first, the Bexley 

bowling attack made short work of dismissing 

their opponents in 10.5 overs. Dean JEFFERY (4

BARKWAY got the innings off to a good start 

laying the foundation for Aiden GRIGGS (23*) to 

come in and hit the winning runs. 15 points from 

this game left it all in the balance with Hartley CC 

leading the pack at the top of the league. 

Bexley CC v Hayes CC - Hayes CC Conceded 

14 points 

Due to the weather and the constant re-arranging of 

the ECB match against Ealing CC, the Hayes fixture 

became somewhat controversial. Having agreed to 

play on Monday 16 th July, the weather once again put 

paid to the match being played. Bexley offered two 

further dates in the week but Hayes were unable to 

raise a team. Hayes claimed points as a cancellation 

but on appeal, Bexley was awarded the concession 

points bringing the top of the league situation to an 

exciting climax with Bexley needing 14 points in 

their last league game against Beckenham CC. 


Beckenham CC 79 for 9 

This was not quite the finish to the season the Under 

15A’s has expected. Playing at the St Dunstans 

School Ground at Catford, Bexley won the toss 

and elected to bat. The top order down to number 

five failed to really get going apart from Cam 

FISHER (18). Thanks to some solid batting in the 

middle order from Ryan SAUNDERS (13) and 

Jake BARKWAY (21) the total at last started to 

increase. Reaching the final score was a feat in itself 

. However, the Bexley bowlers supported well in 

the field, had no thoughts of losing this match and 

restricted Beckenham to 21 for 6 in quick time. Had 

it not been for a 27 not out from their number seven 

batsman, this could have been over quickly. Try as 

they might, the 10 th wicket eluded Bexley and the 

win and 15 points secured top spot in the Under 15 

Division One League by just one point from Hartley 

CC runners up. 

Under 15’s 

ECB Under 15 Cup 

Bexley CC 22 all out 

Ealing CC 24-0 

The ECB Cup campaign proved to be as frustrating 

as the rest of the season with weather affecting 

attempts to get the game played. Three cancelled 

dates led to this game eventually being played on 

Sunday 22 nd July. Ealing CC arrived and put Bexley 

into bat on a greenish wicket. What happened next 

can only be described as a demolition of the Bexley 

batting line up with their opening bowler, in an 

amazing spell, taking 6-7 destroying any chance of 

a comeback by the remaining batsmen. Boasting 

two Middlesex opening bowlers as 2 nd change didn’t 

help and Bexley were dismissed for 22. In reply 

Ealing knocked off the winning runs. All very 

disappointing and having waited for three weeks to 

play this match, a bit of an anti-climax. However, 

as Kent Champions they should be proud of their 

achievement in this tough competition.

Bexley cruised to a clear victory in the 2012 Genese 

Cup competition on Monday 23 rd , Tuesday 24 th and 

Wednesday25th July, winning their three games 

comfortably. 


Beckenham CC 154 for 8 

Batting first on a very good Beckenham wicket, 

Bexley scored well with Jack Clay (72) leading the 

way supported ell by Jonny REGNIER (12) in the 

early overs. Cameron FISHER (27) continued 

the steady accumulation of runs but the run rate was 

slowing. Batting at five, Aiden GRIGGS innings 

of 80 not out off 33 balls pushed the total beyond 

the 200 mark which should have been enough to 

win this match. In reply Beckenham started brightly 

with a 25 from the opener and a good 55 from their 

number 5 bat which took the score along at a run

rate very similar to the Bexley innings. However the 

bowling remained tight and as the overs ticked by 

runs became hard to come by and Beckenham were 

unable to get near the Bexley score. 

OD Cuaco 39 all out 


In a 35 over game there is opportunity to reach big 

team and personal scores in preparation for Under 16 

cricket. Some of the Bexley batsmen were looking 

forward to that chance however, winning the toss 

OD Cuaco elected to bat and reached a paltry 39 all 

out having no answer to a concerted Bexley bowling 

attack. Anish PATEL (3-7), Ajay BUNGAR (3-13) 

and Jonny REGNIER (3-5) allowed no leeway for 

the OD Cuaco batsmen. In reply, Dave DIXON (15) 

and Jack LAING (12) finished off the game. The 

evening finished with a sit don meal of Spaghetti 

Bolognese and one of the hottest Chilli Con Carne 

ever eaten. Thanks to Cliff Regnier for the supper!!

Old Colfes 87 all out 


Old Colfes won the toss and elected to bat. Their 

line up suggested a competitive match but once again 

the Bexley bowlers took control despite 41 runs from 

their opening bat. Ryan SAUNDERS (2-22) started 

well but Dean JEFFERY’s five overs for just 8 

runs slowed their batting progress. It was left to 

Anish PATEL (5-6 off 3.2 overs) that put this match 

to bed. A faultless display of off spin bowling. In 

reply Jack CLAY (32) and Aiden GRIGGS (38 not 

out) took the total beyond the inning score. With 

three wins under their belt the Bexley lads could now 

celebrate their Genese Cup victory, which they did 

in style soaking anyone that moved. The Old Colfes 

lads also joined in the fun. Another sit down dinner

Games on Sunday 8th July, Gravesend and Sunday 

15th July, Bexleyheath, both fell victim to the 

appalling rain showers. Despite this the Under 15b’s 

remained in second spot in the Under 15 Division 3 

with one game to play against Horton Kirby CC. A 

sound in win this game would have seen them piling 

on the pressure on Chislehurst and West Kent in top 

spot. 

Unfortunately it was not to be with Horton Kirby 

conceding to Bexley. 14 points was not enough 

and those two cancelled games probably ended any 

chance they had of winning their league. Despite all 

of this it has been a season of great improvement in 

the 15b’s and with George Wells as their lead coach 

a lot of cricket knowledge has been gained this

Under 14’s – Frank Knott Trophy 


Dartford CC 128 for 5 

Having progressed through the early rounds to the 

semi-final, the Under 14’s finally played the match 

against Dartford at Waller Park. Batting first Bexley 

made a good score against some good Dartford 

bowling. Henry PINE-COFFIN (27) got the ball 

rolling ith a good opening stand and despite losing 

our number two early on, Jake STEPHENS (33) 

maintained the momentum with five boundaries 

thrown in. The rest of the batting line up failed to 

really get hold of the Dartford bowlers and one by 

one wickets fell. Nevertheless a competitive score 

giving the bowlers a chance. However the Dartford 

openers had other thoughts and knocks of 21 and 

53 got Dartford off to a very good start. Jake 

STEPHENS (2-22) and Harry HICKMAN (2-13) 

worked very hard to stem the run flow whilst taking 

wickets. Dartford continued to nibble away at the 

score and it ended with Dartford scoring the winning 

run off the last ball of the match. A great effort by 

the Bexley team but just pipped at the post.

Dartfordians 112 for 5 

On Monday 9 th July the Under 13b’s took on 

Dartfordians in a quickly re-arranged venue as 

Dartfordians ground was flooded. Hurstmere School 

kindly allowed us to use their astro turf wicket. 

What followed in the gloomy, cloudy conditions was 

a very good game of cricket. Bexley made 122 for 

5. Sam BARTON (25 retired) once again showed 

what a good batsmen he is setting up the batting 

attack. Unfortunately other wickets fell regularly 

and only Archie HOBBS-MOORE (13) really 

made any impact on the Darts bowlers. However, 

their loose bowling cost them 53 in extras! In 

reply Bexley bowled well despite the run rate being 

almost identical through the first 12 overs of 20. 

Dominic FISHER (2-24) took the lions share of the 

wickets but it as the innings of 26 by Darts Simon 

LANNING that looked to change the game but 

Bexley fielded well and prevented Darts running 

away with a victory. 

Bexley CC 125 all out 

Blackheath CC 81 all out 

Going into this game the boys knew that a win and 

14 points at least would see them crowned League 

Champions. Winning the toss and batting first made 

a positive start with Dyab MOHIDEEN (13) and 

Alex SHANKS (29 not out) batting very well in 

gloomy conditions with Alex playing four very 

good pull shots off some hostile opening bowling. 

The runs continued to accumulate but wickets were 

also falling. Dominic FISHER (14) and Harry 

GOLDING (17) maintained a good run rate and 

the 125 looked in sight. Having reached that target 

the last wicket fell. In reply the Blackheath openers 

had no answer to Harry GOLDING (0-7 off 3). 

Nathan ZEQIRI (3-7 off 4) bowled an exceptional 

opening spell which set up the Bexley win. Matt 

DAWSON (2-15 off 4) continued to impress with 

the ball. Add to that two run outs and a great catch 

by Jack O’HARE meant that Blackheath never got 

near the total and at 81 all out the game was over and 

16 points in the bag securing top spot in the league. 

Winning all of their games played the entire squad

developed well as a unit through the season. They 

should do well in Division One next season.

Bexley CC Under 13B’s – NKJL U13 Division 

Two Champions 

Under 11A’s 

Old Wilsonians CC 107 for 7 


On Wednesday 11 th July the 11a’s travelled to 

Old Wilsonians on a very damp, murky evening. 

How they actually played a game of cricket was 

unbelievable. Batting fist OW’s started off well 

despite losing their number two early on. With 

24from their opener and a 25 retired from their 

number 5, OW’s looked set for a big score. Some 

good bowling and hard work in the field the run 

rate did slow and Rohan MOON (2-7) and Jack 

BLEKSLEY (3-14) both bowled very well to 

maintain the pressure on the batsmen. In reply 

Joseph NEALE-HALL (17) got the innings off 

to a good start. Wickets started to fall but Rohan 

MOON (22) and a good knock from Brendan 

CARTER (22) kept the game alive and a win in 

sight. Unfortunately the overs ran out and Bexley 

fell short of the target. A good game of cricket 

showing what this squad can do and they should all 

take the positives forward from this season to what 

will be the challenge of the U13 divisions. Having

played only 4 actual games due to the ever present 

bad weather this summer, the boys have done very 

well. 

(Their last game against Hayes CC also fell victim to 

the weather)

The game against Orpington on Monday 9 th July as 

cancelled due to a very wet pitch. 

Dartford CC 128 for 2 


On Saturday 21 st July the boys travelled to Dartford to 

play their last league game of the 2012 season. Dartford 

won the toss and batted first and went off at a fair rate 

scoring well. Their opener scored 27 and was backed up 

down the order with scores of 20 and 26 in the middle 

order. A wicket for Edward PINE-COFFIN and a run 

out for Louie SHEEHY were the only wickets to fall but 

throughout the bowlers and fielders worked really hard 

in this match. 128 was a big total to chase down but to 

their credit they gave it a good go. Josh CURTIS (15) 

batting at 2 started off well and further down the order 

James WILLIS (20) and Connor PARKER (23) both 

made good scores pushing the Bexley total towards the 

winning target. Unfortunately the overs began to run out 

and Dartford emerged winners. Our bowling was good 

with not too many silly extras showing that this squad is 

improving all the time. So that was their first season in 

hard ball cricket over. It is always a challenge in league 

cricket as there is a lot to think about as the matches are 

in progress. Good luck to them next season.
