Shepherd Neame KCL 

Chairman’s Report 

I am pleased to be able to reflect on a 

season of closely contested matches and 

divisions with markedly fewer off field 

matters arising. 

Congratulations to Hartley Country Club 

on regaining the Premier Division 1st XI title 

and to all of the divisional champions and 

promoted clubs. Sadly not all clubs can rise 

and I commiserate with those teams that 

have been relegated and will fight another 

day in a different division. Welcome to RACS 

1st XI and Hollingbourne 2nd XI from the 

Kent Regional Cricket League. 

I am delighted to report that our long 

standing major sponsors, Shepherd Neame, 

are willing to continue their support for 

a further year and I thank them for their 

support and financial contribution. Together 

with Readers ,who are also continuing 

to provide support, they have provided 

continuity and stability during a challenging 

economic climate. We are very fortunate 

to have such loyal supporters. As a result, 

together with the stewardship of your 

Treasurer, the finances of the league continue 

to be in good shape. 

4 

Returning to the field of play, the 

representative side for Division 3/4/5 

captained and managed by Stuart Clarke had 

an outstanding campaign in the Sovereign 

Trophy. 

It beat many sides from more senior 

divisions throughout the Home Counties 

culminating in victory against Surrey 

Championship Division 1/2 in the final of the 

competition. 

Continuing the representative theme, it is 

good to be able to record that Adam Ball 

(captain), Daniel Bell-Drummond and Tamsin 

Beaumont, who all appeared in the league in 

2011, played international cricket for England 

U19 and England Women respectively during 

the season. 

ECB has championed Clubmark and PQS 

both of which are now well embedded 

and have caused clubs to consider their 

practices and aim to raise their standards. 

I am sure that there will be further central 

body initiatives in the future with similar 

intentions. Your Management Committee 

aims to build on the specific ground and 

pitch initiatives by reviewing the current 

ground/facility requirements with a 

view to creating measurable targets and 

thresholds which will apply at different levels 

throughout the league. 

It is expected that tougher requirements, 

once established, will be phased in over an 

extended period to allow clubs to invest any 

time and effort that may be required to meet 

enhanced standards. 

No doubt many clubs have ideas that they 

would like to see incorporated in the league 

and as always, I encourage you to contact 

your Divisional Representative to sound out 

ideas with a view to debating them at the 

Clubs’ Meeting in October. 

No report would be complete without 

thanking the many unsung heroes without 

whom leagues and their constituent clubs 

could not survive. 

I am particularly grateful to clubs for training 

and providing umpires and scorers at all 

levels and specifically to Graeme Hall for 

his leadership of the Umpires’ Panel and 

also to the hardworking members of your 

Management Committee. 

Chris Swadkin, the Deputy Chairman, is 

retiring from the committee after many 

years of sterling service both to the league 

and to many other cricketing bodies, as a 

player and administrator. He has helped me 

immensely during my time as your Chairman 

and I thank him for his wise counsel, 

commitment and support. 

Best wishes to all clubs and teams and 

especially to the newcomers for an enjoyable 

season in 2012. 

Nigel Keess 

PRESIDENTS PAST AND 

PRESENT 

RHB “Bobby” Neame CBE, DCL, DL 

(President 2011 till present) 

Bobby Neame kindly agreed to become our 

President at the start of 2011 but we had 

insufficient time to announce in the 2011 

handbook due to publication deadlines. We 

warmly welcome him. 

Bobby joined Shepherd Neame in 1956 and 

was appointed to the Board in 1957. He 

was appointed Executive Chairman in 1971 

and served in this role until October 2005. 

He retired from the Board in June 2006. 

He is the Company’s first President and is 

Chairman of the trustees of the Shepherd 

Neame Company Retirement Account. 

In July 2008 he received an Honorary 

Doctorate in Civil Law at the University 

of Kent and on 16 December 2010 he was 

appointed an Honorary Alderman by Kent 

County Council in recognition of his service 

to the County Council and the people of 

Kent. 

He has been a great cricket follower for 

many years, becoming President of Kent 

CCC in 2003 and very much a part of 

Shepherd Neame’s sponsorship of both the 

County and the Kent Cricket League, for 

which we are extremely grateful. 

Peter Robinson 

(President from 1998-2011) 

Peter Robinson was instrumental in 

introducing large sponsorship from both the 

Woolwich Equitable Building Society and 

the Foresters from 1999 - 2001. He was 

a mad keen cricket and football follower 

and played for Bromley C.C. for part of his 

cricket career. Since he retired from active 

cricket he has been Captain at West Kent 

Golf Club and is now Chairman of the their 

Council. His contributions to the League 

were invaluable and we thank him for both 

his sponsorships and his lengthy services 

as President from which he stood down in 

2011.

Premier League 

Report 2011 

Hartley Country Club emerged as Premier 

Champions in 2011 after a close fought 

contest. Bromley, who ended second, Bexley 

and Lordswood were all strong contenders 

but the overall consistency of a wellbalanced 

Hartley squad proved decisive and 

their winning margin of 22 points was well 

deserved. 

Hartley’s strength and depth of batting was 

never in question and their batsmen shone 

throughout. Both Charlie Hemphrey and 

Dan Stickels scored 619 runs, both with an 

average of 47.62 and both with a top score 

of 151, this also achieved on the same day 

in impressive style against Tunbridge Wells 

at The Nevill. Sam Billings also impressed 

amassing 514 runs from just ten innings 

with a magnificent top score of 208 and an 

average of 64.25. They were well supported 

by James Thompson with 447 and James 

Hockley 381 runs respectively. 

Their bowling was steady throughout the 

season. They were unable to call often on 

the experienced opening seamers Andy 

Tutt and Darrel Carter due to injuries, 

but were able to share the bowling load 

amongst others who all chipped in with 

valuable contributions, James Hockley 

taking 20 wickets, and James Cramp, Charlie 

Hemphrey and James Thompson 19 each. 

An excellent all round season for Hartley, 

worthy Champions of 2011. 

Elsewhere there were also noteworthy 

performances. Two batsmen reached 800 

runs, Tom Harvey of The Mote scoring 

an impressive 856 and John Bowden of 

Sevenoaks Vine reaching the exact milestone 

in the final game of the season. On the 

bowling front Steven Rowe of Sibton Park 

headed the list with 31 wickets. 

It is perhaps somewhat ironic that the 

leading batsman and leading wicket taker 

should come from the two clubs who 

were sadly relegated, The Mote and Sibton 

Park. They will be replaced by Division 1 

Champions Beckenham and runners up 

Canterbury in 2012. 

Overall ground standards were good in 2011 

with Bromley topping both the Captains and 

Umpires ground marking tables. Behaviour 

was also of a good standard, with Bexley 

capturing the Brian Luckhurst Premier 

Division Spirit of Cricket award. 

We offer great thanks to our panel umpires 

in the Premier Division, Division 1 and 

Division 2 who once again provided a very 

high standard of officiating and to all other 

umpires and scorers in all divisions who 

support our great game.

A Record? 

An ostensibly routine Division Two 2nd XI match 

between Bromley Common and Catford & 

Cyphers may have seen an unusual record set last 

season, as it was officiated by three generations of 

the same family. 

Umpiring for Bromley Common was their usual 

scorer, Andy Lynch, whose son Jonathan Lynch 

(age 13 at the time) stepped in to score for the 

team. To assist Jonathan, Harry Lynch (father of 

Andy and grandfather of Jonathan) agreed to act 

as scorer for the day for Catford & Cyphers. 

So – 3 of 4 officials from different generations of 

the same family, with only Clive Waite of Catford 

& Cyphers preventing a clean sweep. This may not 

be unique, but reasonably rare we guess. 

Anyone claim to beat this?

Surrey Championship Divisions 2-5 

REPORTS 

Division 3-5 Win 

Sovereign Trophy 

On Wednesday 3rd August 2011 the Kent League 

Representative Division 3-5 League Side travelled to 

Three Bridges Cricket Club to contest the Sovereign 

Trophy Final. 

This was the Kent League’s first appearance in the final 

in the revamped competition that had been running 

since 2006. In the last 4 years the side had reached 

the Semi Finals on 3 occasions but had been unable to 

secure that elusive finals place. 

The road to the final had not been an easy one for the 

side who had to travel to last years winners the Mid 

Essex League in the 1st Round before a comprehensive 

victory over pre tournament favourites the Essex 

League Division 1-3 side by 10 wickets and a nail biting 

roller coaster victory over the Hertfordshire League 

Side. 

In the final Kent were facing their old adversaries the 

Surrey League who had been responsible for knocking 

the Kent side out at the Semi Final stage in two of the 

last 3 years. 

Upon arriving at Three Bridges both sides looked at the 

wicket and felt that there would be lots of runs with 

a hard fast track and an even quicker outfield and on 

a blisteringly hot day the toss seemed to be crucial. At 

the toss the Kent League skipper Stuart Clarke won it 

and to the surprise of many onlookers elected to bowl 

first looking to unleash his impressive seam attack on a 

Surrey side that was full of batting. 

The choice to bowl first for Kent paid dividends. Early 

on Matt Iles produced an excellent spell of hostile seam 

bowling. Iles was ably assisted by the evergreen Rupert 

Staple who bowled with excellent control on a wicket 

that had both some pace and bounce. 

With neither bowler giving the Surrey side any 

restpite it was not long before wickets started to 

fall with Iles removing Tomlinson for 2 clean bowled 

and Staple taking the prized wicket of Surrey League 

run machine Arvind Maan smartly caught by Bromley 

Common’s captain Leigh Walker. At 30/2 Kent had made 

an excellent start but knew the pressure had to be 

maintained. 

With this in mind Ben Entacott was introduced to 

replace Iles a like for like replacement, however the first 

few balls of Entacott’s spell were loose and it seemed 

that Surrey were going to get the opportunity to 

counter attack. 

22 

However it only takes one ball and Entacott with his last 

ball of the first over had Surrey Captain and ex Oxford 

University and Lancashire 2nd XI Nick Woods caught by 

Neil Scott at extra cover to a wide and full half volley. 

Huge relief for the Kent side with the match well and 

truly in the balance at 53/3. Staple finished his 9 over 

spell off the reel with fantastic figures of 1/19 off 9 overs 

and was replaced by key all rounder Hayden James. 

It was at this point that the match turned with the Kent 

side seizing the initiative and bowling away the Surrey 

middle order thanks to some fantastic catching and 

accurate bowling, Entacott removed Wendell Sebastian 

and Richard Johnson in quick succession finishing with 

figures of 3/30 and the introduction of Scott saw the 

removal of the stubborn Daryl Hattingh who had 

occupied the crease for 66 balls for just 10 runs thanks 

to some smart keeping from Richard Harmer. 

At 87/6 Kent sensed an opportunity to quickly finish off 

the innings however they encountered late middle order 

resistance from Tom Caines and Mike O’Mahony. Both 

batsmen were severe against spin bowlers Lee Hall and 

Faisal Zaman which meant that a change of tactic was 

required and the seamers were brought back. 

With both batsmen now in, and 91 runs added for the 

seventh wicket, Surrey had repaired the damage and 

seemed intent on getting a score of around 230 which 

would have been a challenging total. Hayden James, 

however, with ball in hand had other ideas and again 

turned the game back in Kent’s favour removing Caines 

for 41 and O’Mahony for a hard hitting 59 off just 53 

balls. 

With some accurate seam bowling and good catching, 

three wickets fell to James who finished with 3/35 and 

with the returning Iles being difficult to get away the 

runs dried up and it was fitting that Iles finished the 

innings dismissing Leigh Padfield cleaned bowled for one 

and finishing with figures of 2/21. This left Surrey having 

registered a total of 195, leaving Kent 196 to chase 

down in 45 overs. 

The Kent reply was started by Skipper Clarke leading 

by example as he had done throughout the whole 

tournament (having scored 226 runs in the previous 3 

matches) assisted by wicketkeeper Harmer. Both Clarke 

and Harmer faced the hostile bowling of Padfield who 

was the fastest bowler in the whole competition and 

the equally aggressive Dhillion Wouterz. 

Harmer made an aggressive start looking to dictate 

to Padfield and after two excellent pull shots looked 

well set. However Padfield had the last laugh with an 

exceptionally quick delivery cleaning up Harmer for 18 

and leaving Kent at 23/1. The loss of Harmer brought 

Walker to the crease who with his pedigree was 

probably the most talented of batsmen in the Kent side 

who had flattered to deceive in the tournament. 

His partnership with Clarke was going to be crucial and 

what was more crucial was that both Clarke and Walker 

gave chances early on in their innings Clarke when 

on 3 and Walker having only scored 6. Both batsmen 

knuckled down intent on making Surrey regret those 

costly drops. 

Steady accumulation from both batsmen kept the run 

rate in check and saw 96 runs added for the 2nd wicket 

and at 119/1 it appeared that Kent were on their way to 

cruising to their target, however Clarke was dismissed 

for a circumspect 33 having been run out by his partner 

Walker. 

With Clarke’s dismissal all rounder James entered 

the action intent on dictating to the bowlers. Walker 

after an excellent 58 then had a rush of blood getting 

stumped following his 74 ball vigil again raising hope of 

a Surrey fight back and when Scott was harshly adjusted 

LBW for 7, Kent had wobbled to 145/4 still 51 runs 

away from victory. 

The wobble was halted by Sidcup legend and run 

machine Phil Robinson coming in at an unaccustomed 

number 6 slot and offering good support to the 

aggressive James. Having bludgeoned 37 runs off only 

36 balls James was intent on finishing the game early 

however fell to a very tame caught and bowled dismissal 

leaving Kent still requiring 22 runs with 8 overs 

remaining. 

Lee Hall accompanied Robinson at the crease and the 

pair ensured the target was reached with the loss of no 

further wickets and with 4.5 overs in hand. Robinson 

and Hall finished unbeaten on 18 and 12 respectively. 

A jubilant Kent side celebrated their historic 5 wicket 

victory and it was also good to see that the Man of the 

Match award as adjudicated by the umpires was given to 

Hayden James for his all round performance of 37 runs 

and 3/35 and a well deserved bottle of Verve Clique 

was presented to him. It was then left for Stuart Clarke 

to receive the Sovereign Trophy from the Club Cricket 

Conference along with a cheque for £1,000 to the Kent 

League. 

It was mission accomplished for the Kent side and 

thanks must go to all involved behind the scenes as well 

as the players on the day with help received from Chris 

Tarrant of Old Colfeians and Jon Taylor of Blackheath as 

well as special mention to Adrian Jewell of Downham 

& Bellingham for scoring throughout the whole 

competition.

REPORTS 


Umpires Panel 

The Umpires’ Panel will enter its fourteenth 

season of appointments to the Kent League in 

2012. Although Kent were some years behind a 

number of Counties in developing a Panel, we are 

now well established and have played our part 

in the changes and experiments in Kent League 

Cricket since 1999. 

During that time we have seen the Premier 

League experiment with two day cricket for a 

four year period before moving to a one day 

format of 110 overs. In recent years half the 

programme for the Premier League has been on a 

“win/lose” format with all the added “toys” such 

as free hits following no balls, strict wides and 

“Power Plays”. 

The umpires have generally enjoyed the variety of 

this format although there is much more to think 

about for captains and umpires, particularly during 

the often hectic batting “Power Play”. 

The one tool that we do not have in our box 

is the Decision Review System (“DRS”) and it 

is highly unlikely that at club level the finances 

will ever exist to introduce this. We have seen 

recently in the UAE how significant a role the 

DRS plays, particularly on pitches with less 

bounce. 

Although some decisions have been overturned 

on review a remarkably high proportion of 

“challenges” have vindicated the original decisions. 

There is one particular aspect which concerns 

me – a batsman being sent on his way when 

“Hawkeye” shows the ball to be merely glancing 

the very outside of the stump. 

Most club umpires would state that there 

is too much doubt in such situations and 

insufficient certainty to despatch the batsman. 

For international cricket we are seeing fewer 

tests reach the fifth day as the number of LBW’s 

threatens old records for a series. 

Perhaps we will see more tinkering with the 

ground rules for the operation of DRS as officials 

become fearful of lost income through shortened 

games. 

In 2011 we saw a few examples of where the 

League and its clubs might benefit from the use 

of the Duckworth Lewis system in rain affected 

games. 

There are certainly challenges involved in bringing 

this into the League but, if there is an acceptance 

of the benefits and a will to find a way to 

introduce “D/L”, I believe that it is certainly worth 

considering. Perhaps it could be “trialled” in Panel 

Appointed games. 

During the winter we have been saddened 

at the passing of one of the Panel stalwarts, 

John Jessiman, who umpired through the 2011 

season and bravely “stood” until the final League 

game despite a developing cancer. John was an 

unforgettable character who enjoyed life on and 

off the field. 

On a more generic subject, could I once more 

make the point that more players should give 

serious consideration to becoming umpires as 

their playing days come towards their natural 

conclusion. The game needs experienced players 

taking up the challenge of umpiring. Training 

courses are arranged every winter in different 

parts of the County. Details are shown on the 

KCB website of the Level one courses. It is an 

excellent way of staying in contact with the game. 

Our thanks go to the Clubs who make us most 

welcome and a reminder that most umpires 

are happy to talk about the match in the bar 

afterwards. 

I would like to thank Errol Valentine for his hard 

work in developing the “online” Captains’ reports 

which have made this task much easier for 

captains and myself. It is not a new message but 

diligent marking and feedback is important for the 

umpires but also for the Clubs. 

A final point, on behalf of the Panel Umpires, is 

to thank the scorers for their invaluable services. 

Umpires appreciate having efficient scorers at the 

games where we officiate. 

It is part of the Umpires’ responsibility to be 

satisfied that the scores are correct. Where we 

have two excellent scorers on duty this invariably 

takes care of this particular aspect. Many Kent 

League clubs are well served in this regard but 

others struggle and the need to recruit more 

scorers is just as important as it is for attracting 

new umpires. 

There is snow on the ground as I write so the 

season must be approaching ! Good luck to 

players and officials for 2012 and ….enjoy ! 

Graeme Hall 

Chairman KCL Umpires Panel 

Jonathan Patterson 

Reports on Umpiring 

They say the sincerest form of flattery is imitation. 

If this is the case we must be justly proud of the 

VCC . It is much admired and now copied. 

Its essence is the fact that it is your, the clubs of 

the SNKCL, code unanimously voted for by you 

each year. 

The clubs fully support umpires when they sadly 

have occasion to report players, by suspending 

them when the Club is advised of the breaches of 

discipline. It is not the League that does so. If the 

Disciplinary Committee considers the “offence” 

is sufficiently serious, they are empowered to 

increase the suspension. 

The Laws of our game place responsibility for 

the Spirit of Cricket in the hands of Captains, 

we therefore hold captains to a higher standard. 

If a Captain is reported, not only will he serve 

two weeks suspension by his Club, an additional 

sanction is likely to be added by the Disciplinary 

Committee. 

One “urban myth” seems to suggest that captains 

are always suspended if one of their players is 

reported. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. If the 

captain takes the appropriate action during the 

match he will not be blamed, it is when captains 

do not control their players that issues arise. 

One must remember how many games of cricket 

we play each season and the fortunately small 

number of incidents reported. 

We have nothing like the incidents I see around 

other leagues and this goes to the credit of the 

players and clubs playing in the SNKCL. 

It is also a myth that Panel umpires are the only 

ones who report players. Non panel umpires are 

fully empowered to report players and indeed 

they do! 

Whilst it is preferable to follow the guidance 

in the handbook and ensure the player and the 

Club know a player is to be reported before 

the umpire leaves the ground, the VCC is not 

prejudiced, if, for some reason, it is not followed 

to the letter of the Code by the umpire. I always 

appreciate a call on a Sunday morning to advise a 

report is on its way. 

I am always available at the telephone if an umpire 

wishes to discuss the procedures, but should not 

discuss a specific incident, as the umpire/s on 

the day must be the sole arbiters as to whether 

a report should be made. The Disciplinary 

Committee is then able to independently assess 

the gravity of the incident and decide whether 

further action over and above the VCC is 

appropriate. 

Consistency is always an issue and the pre match 

briefing between the captains and officials is an 

important part of the communication process, to 

ensure everyone knows what will and will not be 

tolerated. 

The League and clubs will always support 

Umpires, as sole arbiters of the game. 

I would once again like to pay tribute and give the 

Management Committees thanks to Graeme Hall 

who manages to provide umpires for the first 3 

Divisions across such a large County as ours. The 

fee payable to Panel Umpires has been increased 

this year to £40 to reflect the huge increase in 

fuel costs. 

Graeme feels he is in a position to increase the 

coverage of the panel to a 4th division. The idea 

was first trailed on the website and there was 

sufficient positive feedback to place the proposal 

before the autumn clubs meeting, however the 

idea did not meet with favour. 

I would be particularly keen to hear from clubs 

who did not support expansion of the coverage 

to ascertain their reasons why they felt they 

could not support the proposal.

£11, although this is well below the minimum 

wage and the real cost is something in the region 

of £50 , which the sliding scale of penalties, 

presumably, is designed to reflect. 

Alternatively perhaps former or injured players 

may like to put something back into the Club, or 

am I being naive? 

At the moment Clubs are not encouraged to 

address the problem, so why not extend the 

penalties to cover all divisions and not just the 

Premier League? 

Otherwise scorers will have to resort to shouting 

“Bowlers name”, which might be deemed not 

within the spirit nor code of conduct of the game, 

but is a resort born out of anger and frustration 

at being ignored. 

With Bromley Common promoted to Division 

Two and Sidcup relegated to Division Four I 

may be the only scorer in Division Three next 

year. Come on Harvel, Holmesdale, Chestfield 

and Downham & Bellingham – the respective 

relegated and promoted sides from Divisions Two 

and Four – prove me wrong and I’ll gladly eat my 

words. 

Bit of a contradiction there – “a side that fails to 

provide” is not the same as “must provide” whilst 

the word ‘man’, and the quotation marks are in 

the playing conditions of the league rather than 

being mine, are an insult to our lady scorers. (Fact 

– only three teams in Division 3, 1st X1 section, 

had scorers in the 2011 season, and two of them 

were ladies! 

But, hang on a minute, under “Fines 2011” it 

states: 

6.Failure to provide a scorer – Fines for no 

scorers will be applied on a sliding scale– first 

offence £50, second £75, third and subsequent 

£100 plus 5 penalty points 

Ah, that’s more like it – I bet that concentrates 

the mind. But, and hang on for another minute – 

sorry to take up so much of your time - that only 

applies to the Premier League!!! 

As you have probably guessed by now, I am a 

scorer, from Old Wilsonians if you really must 

know, and have lost count of the number of 

games I have scored on my own, although I do 

know that I ‘manned the score-box or scoring 

table’ for 40 games last season and only five 

opposing sides had a scorer. 

So where have all the scorers gone, and in an 

effort to be positive and constructive, I am 

convinced that the problem is easily solved. 

Most sides have colts sections, which is really 

encouraging and essential for the future of the 

game, and these sections invariably have well over 

100 participants. 

26 

The most disturbing thing about not supplying 

a scorer is that many results may be wrong, as 

the book gets passed from player to player with 

little regard for accuracy, and some clubs may 

have been promoted, or relegated, because 

score-books are incorrect. 

Those who find it impossible to meet this 

very simple request should at least abide by 

the league’s cop out – “shall ensure that they 

nominate two people to ‘man’ (sic) the scorebox 

or scoring table” - i.e. two means two and 

those bleating “I’ve done 10 overs” should be big 

enough to do the job properly. 

Kent League games can last 100 overs and up to 

seven hours. Scorers are the only participants of 

the game who have to concentrate for a potential 

600 balls – plus wides and no balls – even umpires 

get a certain degree of respite when they are at 

square leg. 

And some umpires appear to have accepted the 

fact that their side will never provide a scorer 

and seem to feel that, to acknowledge those of 

the opposition, would be an act of betrayal to 

their own side. One, for example, who cannot 

be named for legal reasons, signalled to the trees 

opposite the score-box during a game rather than 

accept the fact that the opposition had a scorer. 

And don’t be put off by the rumours going around 

that are something along the lines of 

“Old Wilsonians are a friendly club with a nice 

ground, but their 1st Xl scorer is very strange!” 

I’ll end on a radical note, although one I know 

both Bromley Common and Sidcup will support 

me with. If sides not providing a scorer were 

deducted a point, then clubs would surely make 

more of an effort. After all, you get penalised for 

not providing an umpire, so why not the other 

essential official. 

And, if this policy had been implemented in 

2011, then Sidcup would have finished sixth, 

Old Wilsonians third and Bromley Common as 

champions. And quite right, too; sides should be 

rewarded for complying with the laws of the 

game.

BILL BASSETT 

President, Bromley 

Common Cricket Club 

Bill Bassett, President of Bromley Common 

Cricket Club, was tragically killed late in 2011 

when as a pedestrian he was hit by a car whilst 

out walking in Bromley Common. Bill’s tragic 

death, at the age of 87, came as a very great shock 

to all at the club, particularly as he had been 

recovering from recent illness. 

Bill loved Bromley Common Cricket Club and 

showed very great loyalty to it throughout 

his life-long affiliation with the club. He joined 

the club when he was just sixteen, and for the 

remainder of his long life he either played for 

the club, umpired or was our much respected 

President. He was our link from the current 

young generation, through several generations, 

back to the 1940’s, held in the very highest 

regard and respected by all. As all who knew him 

would testify, he was a very quiet, reserved but 

determined man. Bill was always a very quiet 

speaker during all of his time at the club, including 

his younger years, and one often had to lean 

forward to listen intently to what he had to say. 

As our President, Bill was the figurehead of our 

club, looked up to by all, young and old alike. 

He loved the club, and the club loved him back. 

Always guest of honour at our annual dinners, he 

took great pleasure in personally handing over 

various annual awards. 

28 

Despite his advancing years, Bill always paid 

annually for a full active player membership, 

despite already being a life member of the club. 

It was not only cricket which interested Bill. He 

was a member and player for another local club, 

Old Bromleans football club, playing as centre 

half, mostly for their third team. When his playing 

career ended, he became a football referee, 

continuing his active sporting interest. 

As a player for BCCC in his younger years he 

spent most of his time playing for the A team, at a 

time when we ran two sides. He both batted and 

bowled and was a steady and reliable performer, 

without being a star, the type of player every 

club needs. In the early days he would cycle to 

the Club and was probably one of the last of 

his generation to get himself a car. In his later 

years Bill continued to be a regular at the club. 

You could set your watch by the time he would 

arrive on a Saturday, 5.30, just in time to watch 

the second innings of the match, wearing his 

green club jumper and club tie. For many years he 

would sit down on a bench by the lower copse, 

before moving to a location nearer the clubhouse. 

Following a match, Bill would retire to the bar 

for a couple of beers and a chat, before walking 

home. A measure of his independence was that it 

was almost impossible to give him a lift home in a 

car, despite many and frequent offers, and despite 

the terrible state of the lane leading up to the 

club. He did not want to trouble anyone. 

Over the last thirty years he oversaw our club 

rejuvenated, with membership to the Kent 

League, more teams (four on a Saturday), the 

development of an additional ground giving us 

two playing areas, and a large and thriving Junior 

Section. 

Bill will be greatly missed by all at the club, and he 

has left a void which will be very hard to fill.

BEN DANIELS 

The father of a 15-year-old aspiring sportsman 

who died of an undetected heart problem 

after collapsing at football training has vowed 

to keep his memory alive by bringing good to 

other people’s lives. Ben Daniels, who was a 

pupil at Ravens Wood School in Bromley, was 

taken to hospital on March 5 after he fell ill in 

Queensmead Recreation Ground, Shortlands, and 

passed away three days later. 

His dad Paul said: “We were in complete shock. 

It was our tsunami. You couldn’t see it coming. 

One minute he was bouncing off to go and play 

football with not a care in the world. The next 

minute he was gone. 

“Ben had an undiagnosed and undetected heart 

condition. He was incredibly fit and healthy and 

completely asymptomatic. “Throughout his whole 

life there was nothing which suggested he needed 

to be screened for his cardiac health.” 

Ben, who lived in Clarence Road, Bickley, was an 

extremely active sportsman who played cricket 

at the Old Elthamians Cricket Club in Foxbury 

Avenue, Chislehurst and tennis at Bromley Lawn 

Tennis Club. 

His parents Paul, 49, and Helena, 47, are 

campaigning for a cardiac screening programme 

for youngsters in the sporting communities Ben 

was part of, by setting up a £100,000 memorial 

fund. Paul said: “You can never come to terms 

with something like this. 

“You find an inner strength, a cause that enables 

you to keep his memory alive, not just in terms 

of us as a family but for everyone else who knew 

him. “The tragedy we felt then provides us with a 

cause that enables us to impact on other people’s 

lives to the good.” To raise awareness of sudden 

cardiac death in the young, Ben’s football team 

sports the logo of charity C-R-Y (Cardiac Risk in 

the Young) on their shirts. 

Paul added: “We have had tremendous support 

from the community we live in and from the Old 

Elthamians Cricket Club, the Ex-Blues Football 

Club and Ravens Wood School have been fantastic 

in everything they’ve done. 

“Ben touched many different people in different 

ways which we as parents didn’t realise at the 

time. 

“He was an exceptionally active sportsman. He 

was beginning to think about what he wanted to 

do and was becoming focussed on being a sports 

coach. 

“We want Ben to be remembered for what he 

achieved in his life and for what he is leaving us 

with, which is a cause in his name for the benefit 

of others.”

Tim Mason 1933 – 2011 

On 11th July 2011 Rainham Cricket Club lost a 

dear friend. The sudden death of Tim Mason was 

a shock to us all. Tim was born in Bermondsey 

in August of 1933 and grew up through the war 

years. A strapping sight, he was coached as a fast 

bowler and by all accounts, a pretty impressive 

one at that. He served in Suez in the Royal 

Engineers and subsequently became a docker in 

London’s bustling Docklands. Whilst in the docks 

Tim played cricket for the National Dock Labour 

Board and eventually in 1972 moved with his wife 

Ruby and two daughters Julia and Kay to Rainham. 

Tim had a long association with Rainham Cricket 

Club and since having a knee replacement has 

worked tirelessly for the club around the ground 

volunteering his time and becoming a friend to 

everyone who passes through the club. In recent 

years Tim also served the club as Umpire for the 

2nd XI in the Kent League and I’m sure all those 

who have met him over the years will remember 

his charm and presence. 

Cricket needs people like Tim Mason, he will be 

sadly missed by all at Rainham Cricket Club.

John Jessiman 

John was born on 12th April 1948 in Croxley 

Green Hertfordshire, and this only by chance 

as his mother had returned home due to a 

family illness, other wise he would have been 

born in India. John and his mother returned to 

India a year later where John met his father and 

sister Sandra for the first time. John was more 

conversant in Urdu as he was looked after by an 

Iya, an Indian nanny. 

In the mid 50’s John’s father, who was a structural 

engineer, made the decision that the family were 

going to return to the UK as the education 

system in India was moving away from English 

towards native languages. This came about under 

Nehru’s administration, a man who John met as 

a young boy and he presented John with his own 

Nehru style suit decorated with gold thread. 

Aged 8 he made his first footfall in Scotland and 

this is where he picked up his unique Scottish 

accent that we all came to know and love. As he 

spoke perfect English he was picked on at school 

and adopted his brogue as a defence mechanismit 

never left him. 

John was brought up in Kings Park, an affluent 

area of Glasgow, but his fathers family had 

originated from the Gorbals and John came to 

spend an unhealthy amount of time in this district 

sampling life of a very different nature to his own. 

Educationally he was advanced for his age and 

took his highers aged 16 but for his lack of 

a French qualification he might have gone to 

university but instead left home and headed for 

Ireland. 

30 

This period of his life was a little hazy to say the 

least to the extent that until the 1990s he had 

Dublin geographically upside down in his mind! 

After a while he found himself in London where 

to put it mildly he drifted and then somehow 

ended up in Grimsby working on the trawlers-it 

must have seemed like a good idea at the time- 

This was a hard life and I for one was surprised to 

learn of this occupation. 

At 19 he returned to London having lived quite 

a lot! He was quickly trapped into working for 

the Labour Exchange when they found out about 

his educational qualifications, he was now in the 

system and he quickly rose to be an Executive 

Officer but could go no further at this time due 

to his lack of a degree and not being 25, how 

times have changed. He progressed on however 

in his type of work becoming a computer 

programmer. He frequently clashed with his 

superiors when they asked if he had tested his 

programmes and he replied there was no point as 

he never wrote anything that was wrong! (Anyone 

who has done a crossword with JJ can testify to 

this) 

He next became a Systems Analyst with a 

temporary promotion to HEO. It was in the Civil 

Service, aged 23, that he met Georgie, aged 19, 

and after a whirlwind romance they were married 

within 4 months with him decked out in a blue 

velvet suit. They married in Caxton Hall, which 

they only managed to do as they gave their work 

address instead of their home postcode. The stag 

night must have been a good one as the best man 

never made the ceremony! 

They lived in Crouch End for a short period 

before moving to Chatham in 1973, where they 

lived for a couple of years during which time 

Patricia was born. Then it was on to Cherry Close 

Sittingbourne in 1975 and John Paul was born in 

1977. By this time John had become a Systems 

Architect for Lloyds in Chatham then in London. 

It was at this time that any chance of a glittering 

cricket playing career was finally ended when 

whilst under the influence of a couple of shandies 

he managed to get his leg trapped in the revolving 

door of the Lloyds Building causing an ankle injury 

which he used to great effect for the next 20+ 

years appealing to my better nature to gain the 

corner stall from me in the Fruiterers. 

JJ’s career really took off in the mid 80’s when 

Bowrings head hunted him . They later became 

Marsh Mclenan where he stayed until his 

retirement in 2003. He spent many years working 

between London and New York where he made 

many very good friends some of whom John 

tragically lost due to the 9/11 attack on the twin 

towers where John himself was due to be that 

day but for his dodgy ankle which meant he was 

unable to travel. So who says beer is bad for 

you? As you can imagine John’s jaunts to New 

York were not without incident not surprisingly 

as he spent a fair proportion of his time in the 

Pig and Whistle. On one trip, when Patti was 

accompanying him, he was wheelchair bound 

(due to aforementioned dodgy ankle) on the 

way home his escort, a young American lady, 

pushed him into the back of the lift feet first, you 

can imagine the language!! Needless to say Patti 

sensibly waited for the next lift. 

Back in the UK John obviously was a regular 

commuter and often missed his stop and ended 

up in Dover or Ramsgate requiring assistance 

from his daughter or wife to get back home. 

However on one occasion he surpassed himself 

as he started walking back from Dover but 

managed to cadge a lift from the police back as far 

as Faversham! 

By now JJ, as he became known to all of us who 

donned jumpers and flannels had taken up cricket 

umpiring fulfilling a life long love of the game, of 

the greatest game in the world, which started in 

India and his time at Public School. In the mid 80’s 

he started locally with Woodstock & UK Paper 

and then on to Gore Court. His appetite whetted 

he embarked on his umpires exams, which he 

took at Lords and passed with flying colours. 

As a result he moved on to become a panel 

umpire for the Kent League where he made many 

friends both colleagues and players. JJ enjoyed 

the respect of all, for his integrity and sense of 

fair play and for those lucky enough to engage 

him in conversation there was his wicked sense 

of humour. Locally he continued to be heavily 

involved with the AKCC, the Dougwood Cup 

and The Milsted sixes. Youth cricket also featured 

heavily and later on Veterans cricket which he 

particularly enjoyed as there were times when he 

was the youngest person on the pitch! Until the 

end he was still the secretary of Gore Court and 

for those of us involved in the game his loss is 

sorely felt. 

JJ also had another active pastime this being 

walking. He spent many happy years with a group 

of work colleagues and friends-Fred Skipsey being 

one of them-walking the Wainwright Walks in 

Cumbria. I have seen the routes they took and 

some were quite formidable. 

Over the last decade I had the pleasure of 

accompanying JJ on numerous trips to the 

battlefields of Flanders and Normandy. These trips 

were an eye opener for many reasons, his interest 

and knowledge of the sites we saw was incredible 

as was his intolerance of certain situations. On 

one trip Steve Leney managed to book us into a 

house within the only village in Northern France 

without a bar! JJ being the only driver ( it was his 

company car) was less than impressed. 

Navigation or the lack of it was another pet hate 

as John Corcoran, Jim and I were to find out on 

other trips. The four of us rocked up in Fleur, 

the site of the first ever combat use of the tank, 

after touring up and down the village a few times 

looking for our accommodation, Jim and I who 

had the maps, found that although we had found 

Fleur there were five of them and we weren’t in 

the right one! JJ’s language was let’s say choice. 

Most amusing , to us, was his absolute hatred 

for all things shopping related. Whilst in Caen 

we found C & A which he refused to go in and 

after successfully acquiring a painting about 6ft 

long in the same town he walked away in disgust 

(especially after we had sent a few locals flying 

whilst wielding said painting) He refused to help 

get it in the car or with the delicate job of holding 

it all the way home. Incidentally the painting 

still has pride of place in the house of the next 

speaker. 

This almost phobic behaviour towards shopping 

has been backed up by Georgie, Patti and John 

Paul who would wince at the prospect of entering 

a High Street with him apparently he would be 

rude and obnoxious to any store assistant that 

came within his personal space- now there’s a 

surprise. 

Thank you for your forbearance as you can gather 

JJ lived a varied and interesting life and touched 

the lives of many of us fortunate enough to 

have enjoyed his company. Lisa and I were very 

privileged to count him as one of our closest 

friends. He truly was a remarkable man.

Kent Regional Cricket League ECB Guidelines 

Kent Regional Cricket 

League 

Once again the cricket season is nearly upon us, 

and the regional league looks forward to a year of 

competitive and enjoyable cricket for all teams in 

our structure. 

There are of course always those who seek 

change. Fewer overs; more overs; earlier starts; 

later starts; there is a wide range of abilities 

and ages to be catered for. It was apparent at 

our AGM that there is a difference in thinking 

between the metropolitan clubs and the rural 

ones. 

There has been a few changes of personnel over 

the winter months, some clubs have moved on to 

pastures new, unfortunately a couple have folded. 

We also welcome a handful of new clubs, and 

senior clubs raising 5th and 6th teams. As per last 

season, we have 199 teams taking the field in 

2012 (comprising 20 Divisions); ranging from club 

first teams bursting with KL ambitions to teams 

with a combination of veterans and boys. 

The ultimate aim is of course to have all league 

cricket in Kent within the structured setup. 

However, there are still leagues playing in separate 

structures, who no doubt feel that their setup is 

more appropriate to their facilities or standard. 

Nevertheless it should be clearly understood that 

the regional league is open to all Kent clubs who 

wish to join. However at the higher levels we are 

also striving to improve facilities as well as playing 

standards and our ground sub committee is 

working hard to encourage clubs to improve their 

wickets and outfields. 

We continue to work closely with the Kent 

League representatives, so as to discuss matters 

of mutual interest. Clearly there are significant 

differences in terms of playing rules but 

nevertheless there are issues that affect all clubs 

and in order to take club cricket in Kent forwards 

it is important that we continue to explore ideas 

and consider how Saturday cricket fits into a 

changing world.

ECB Guidelines 

For Junior Players in Open Age 

Group Cricket 

The ECB has issued guidance covering the selection 

and participation of young players in open age group 

cricket. This is to help clubs decide when to select 

young players in open age group cricket and how best 

to help their cricketing development when they play 

within open age groups. The ECB keeps these guidelines 

under review and, following feedback from clubs and 

leagues, revised these guidelines for the 2012 season. 

The ECB will continue to monitor the impact of these 

guidelines and you are invited to feedback your thoughts 

and comments in writing to the ECB Non-First Class 

Cricket Department. 

The Guidance is as follows: 

• Making the step up from junior to open 

age group cricket is a significant event in 

any player’s cricket experience. Ensure 

the player’s safety, personal development 

needs and overall cricket experience are 

considered. 

• There is no definitive age at which a player should be 

introduced to open age group cricket, but each case is 

to be determined on an individual basis, depending on 

the player’s ability and stage of cognitive and emotional 

maturity to take part at this level. That said clubs, squad 

coaches and managers must take into account the 

requirements on age detailed in the last bullet of this 

guidance. 

• ECB Fast Bowling Directives and Fielding Regulations 

should always be adhered to for junior players in open 

age group cricket. 

• Provide an opportunity for players to show their 

talents in an appropriate way. Children who are just 

used as fielders will not fully experience the game 

• Be supportive, at all times, for all forms of effort even 

when children are not successful. Try and put them in 

situations where they will experience some success 

(however small) and ensure plenty of praise and 

encouragement. 

• Try and involve them in all aspects of the game 

wherever possible i.e. socialising, team talks, practice, 

decision making and so on, so they feel part of the team. 

• Children will often feel more comfortable and able 

to perform if they have a family member or friend also 

playing in the side. 

• Remember, children’s early experiences will remain 

with them always and will often determine whether 

they want to remain playing the game or give up and do 

something else. 

• Players who are selected in a County 

U12 squad in spring for a summer squad 

or in another squad deemed by ECB 

Performance Managers to be of a standard above 

‘district level’ for that season are eligible to play open 

age cricket. This is providing they are at least 11 years 

old, are in School Year 7 on 1st September in the year 

preceding the season, and have written parental consent 

to play. In allowing these players to play in open age 

cricket it is essential clubs and coaches recognise the 

‘duty of care’ obligations they have towards these young 

players. 

This means boys and girls who are county squad and 

area squad players, are able to play open age group 

cricket if they are in an U12 age group and are a 

minimum of 11 years old on 1st September of the year 

preceding the season. District and club players who 

are not in a county or area squads must wait until they 

reach the U13 age group, be in Year 8 and be 12 years 

old on 1st September of the preceding year before 

being able to play in any open age group cricket. As 

before written parental consent is required for these 

players. 

The duty of care should be interpreted 

in two ways: 

• Not to place a young player in a position that involves 

an unreasonable risk to that young player, taking account 

of the circumstances of the match and the relative skills 

of the player. 

• Not to create a situation that places members of the 

opposing side in a position whereby they cannot play 

cricket as they would normally do against adult players. 

In addition, the guidelines note the need for clubs and 

leagues to recognise the positive experience young 

players should have in open age cricket. Clubs should 

provide an opportunity for players to show their talents 

in an appropriate way. Children who are just used as 

fielders will not fully experience the game.

Chief Executive Officer’s Annual Report 

2012 

It would be much easier were I to have some 

cricketing success to describe, but the 2011 

season was extremely frustrating and ultimately 

disappointing. The players worked hard to get 

results, but they just did not come regularly 

enough. The high point of the season was a 

fantastic run in the t20 that saw the County reach 

the quarter finals. Hopes were very high as we 

travelled to Grace Road, and at the halfway stage 

with 203 on the board thoughts were turning 

again to Finals Day, but once again frustration and 

disappointment followed. 

Off the field 2011 was a landmark year for the 

Club. The first phase of the redevelopment work 

was completed by mid-summer and the second 

phase commenced soon after the end of the 

season. I would like to once again record my 

thanks to all those who have made the project 

happen. There has been a great deal of hard work, 

and we are now starting to see the benefits of 

that work. The ground is smart and new revenue 

streams are starting to emerge. At last we are 

getting close to the stated objective of having a 

‘ground of which to be proud’. 

Over the last year the Club has been working 

to secure planning permission for the County 

Ground at Beckenham. In early January 

permission was granted to develop the ground 

– a development that will see considerable 

investment in facilities. These facilities will include 

an indoor cricket school, a conference facility, 

a spectator stand, an Astroturf hockey pitch as 

well as a health and fitness centre. This should 

safeguard the Club’s involvement at Beckenham 

for a long time to come. 

The year cannot pass without mention being 

made of the financial position of the Club. 

2010-11 was a more encouraging year that 

saw a return to profit. This was delivered in no 

small part through ECB incentive payments for 

ground redevelopment. Had we not got the 

redevelopment project started in 2010, these 

payments would have been missed as they were 

only available for projects started by 2011. 

In addition, the commercial team, under the 

leadership of Pat Mellsop, had an excellent year, 

reversing recent recessionary trends. All counties 

continue to be under financial pressure and we 

must continue to work hard at ensuring a stable 

financial future. 

A dark cloud hangs over cricket around the world 

at the moment. The ‘spot fixing’ revelations of 

the last 18-months have been a major body blow 

to the game. Anything that calls into question 

the validity of what we watch is a huge threat. 

Confidence in the authenticity and integrity of the 

contest is essential – without it spectators will 

lose interest. It is incumbent then on all of us to 

protect the integrity of everything that happens in 

the game – the steps taken by ECB, PCA and ICC 

therefore are most welcome and as a county we 

will fulfil all our obligations within the new Anti- 

Corruption Code and rigorously work to ensure 

that there is no further damage to the game. 

I would like to put on record my thanks to all the 

very many people who work so hard to ensure 

that the Club runs smoothly. The Committee, 

players and staff have all given total commitment 

to making the Club stronger. These have been 

tough times and hard work has been demanded 

of all – as ever this has been undertaken with 

good cheer and not inconsiderable effort. This 

year special thanks must be given to the Club’s 

President – John Shepherd – who was extremely 

hard working and an absolute joy to have around. 

As I write we are not far away from the earliest 

start to the season in the history of county 

cricket. For us this will also be a season with a 

new Head Coach and several new player signings; 

because of this there is a real buzz around the 

Club. Certainly the tribulations of 2011 seem 

a distant memory already. Jimmy Adams has 

worked extremely hard to get the squad ready 

for the challenges of the 2012 season – including 

a trip to Antigua. I am sure the members and 

supporters will get behind Jimmy and the team – 

let’s hope it is one to remember. 

So another year is about to start and as has 

always been the case in the past, hopes are high. 

We continue to be a proud Club that has high 

expectations. May I wish you a very enjoyable 

2012 and thank you for your continued support. 

Let’s hope my next report is able to report 

something very special.

Kent CCC Beckenham 

I have now been the Manager at KCCC, Beckenham 

for 6 years and finally we have gone a long way to 

securing KCCC’s long term future at Beckenham. 

On 12 January 2012 the KCCC outline planning 

application was approved, this will dramatically 

enhance the Club’s operation at the County Ground, 

Beckenham. It has still got to be approved by Boris 

Johnson’s Team and then the detailed planning 

application needs approving. However, the biggest 

hurdle has been overcome. 

The plans include a new astroturf hockey / football 

pitch, an indoor cricket academy / sports centre, a 

health and fitness centre, 2-3k permanent spectator 

seating, and a small conference facility. The funding 

for these facilities will be raised through enabling 

development. The new facilities will provide the 

required revenue streams to create a viable future 

for the ground, and in turn ensure that professional 

cricket continues to be played in Beckenham. 

Most importantly, it establishes a thriving sporting 

centre of excellence, this will help us considerably 

in the development of talented young cricketers. I 

anticipate that this, coupled with our community 

programmes, will bring something very special and 

lasting to Bromley.” 

We were pleased to be able to stage two FPt20 

matches versus Gloucester and Surrey. Please come 

along to KCCC, Beckenham for our FPt20 against 

Surrey on Sunday, 17th June 2012. 

In addition to the 1st X1 matches we hosted a 

number of 2nd X1 fixtures and numerous Kent Age 

Group Matches. We successfully hosted Corporate 

Events and our Resident Clubs ODCUACO and 

Beckenham whose lower X1’s both use us as their 

base ensuring that both of our squares are fully 

utilised. We continue to grow our reputation on the 

back of our superb facilities and excellent hospitality. 

I would like to thank Bromley Council and our 

Landlords, Leander for their contribution. The 

KCCC, Beckenham team has held its own in an 

increasingly competitive market place. We are 

working hard in raising the ground’s profile and 

increasing the income generated through maximising 

the use of all our facilities. Our weekly footfall is, on 

average, 1500 per week. 

Our room hire income, bar and catering income 

have all increased significantly as our reputation 

for excellent service has become well known 

throughout the local area this has been further 

increased by bookings for 18th and 21st Parties. The 

introduction of a community membership scheme 

is now our focus following our planning application 

approval, with the object of filling the bar during the 

week. 

38 

We have a Business Networking Group that meets 

for breakfast each week a Chess Club and an 

Archery Club. 

The Bromley District Cricket Coaching (BDCC) 

team use Kent CCC, Beckenham as their base 

throughout the year and was responsible for 16,000 

attendances by children at Open, School and District 

coaching sessions; 5 Junior sides representing 

Bromley District; supporting 29 Clubs with 

memberships totalling 2000 adults and 1900 juniors 

in 2011. Congratulations go out to all the players 

from Bromley District that played representative 

cricket. Bromley now have 20 players in the County 

set up which is a fantastic achievement. 

With a number of coach education courses being 

held at KCCC and with opportunities to run more 

in the future following the development, Bromley 

District is building a strong team of coaches and 

volunteers to support the Club and School network. 

A very successful District Presentation evening was 

held where over 120 people attended to celebrate 

Bromley’s season. The proceeds of the raffle and 

auction went to the Ben Daniels Memorial Fund 

the charity Bromley District Cricket Coaching is 

supporting. Ben Daniels was a District Player, he was 

incredibly fit and healthy but had an undiagnosed 

and undetected heart condition. Throughout his 

whole life there was nothing to suggest he needed 

to be screened for his cardiac health. Ben died of an 

undetected arrhythmia problem with his heart. 

Returning to the KCCC side of things, the Deputy 

Head Groundsmen (Paul Whittaker and Dan 

Walker) continue to improve our ground facilities 

as evidenced by the positive feedback from our 

users. The Office Manager (Nancy Whitaker) well 

supported by our Chef (Keith Boyle) and Duty 

Manager (Nikki Rapley) have worked well as a team 

to ensure that we have increased the number of 

bookings, we have many testimonials showing what 

a positive impact the whole team has on those 

using our facilities. I would also like to thank all our 

volunteers for their important contribution. 

Many thanks to all of you who supported KCCC, 

Beckenham during 2011.

Kent Cricket Board 

£0.5m investment into 

schools through Kent 

Cricket Board and 

Chance to Shine 

Kent Cricket Board have announced that £0.5m 

will be invested into the game to support 

cricket coaching in schools. The County Board 

will continue to deliver high quality spring 

and summer term coaching and competition 

programmes within existing schools and to 

primary and secondary schools across Kent. 

The aim of the Kent Cricket School Programme 

is to inspire children and their teachers to 

experience our game, to develop the children’s life 

skills and sporting potential, and to create a legacy 

for the future. 

Clair Gould, Director of Operations at KCB, said: 

“Our involvement in Chance to Shine has been 

fantastic so far. We have seen an increase in the 

number of young players attending our clubs as 

a direct result of our coaching in schools. It has 

also helped to increase the profile of our clubs, 

Kent Cricket Board’s support to grass roots 

sporting activity, and we will continue to forge 

stronger links with more local schools. With this 

additional support from the Cricket Foundation, 

plans are in place for an expanded programme to 

cover the next four years.” 

Steve Peyman, Operations Director at the Cricket 

Foundation, which raises funds and delivers 

‘Chance to Shine supported by Brit Insurance’ 

through the 39 County Boards, said “Our clubs 

are the backbone of Chance to Shine and are 

critical to the success of the programme. The 

County Board helps to coordinate the delivery of 

high quality coaching and competitions to schools 

and, as a result, over 39,509 children have joined 

local clubs from schools since Chance to Shine 

launched in 2005.” 

The Cricket Foundation, an independent 

registered charity, believes that team sports - and 

cricket in particular – can help young people to 

develop as people. Cricket promotes leadership 

and teamwork; teaches youngsters how to win 

and lose respectfully; and gives opportunities to 

boys and girls. 

England’s Ashes winner and Chance to Shine 

Ambassador, Lydia Greenway said: “I went to a 

state school which didn’t play cricket but was 

lucky enough to be given the chance to play 

because of my dad. But there are literally millions 

of youngsters out there who will never be given 

the opportunity and that is sad. What Chance to 

Shine has done is fantastic, the main aim is just 

to get more people playing from an early age and 

encourage them to play the game at whatever 

level they are comfortable with.” 

Last year, 347,390 boys and girls in 3,807 state 

schools across the country participated in over 

45,000 cricket matches through Chance to 

Shine. 46 per cent of the children involved last 

year were girls. Tens of thousands of children in 

Chance to Shine schools were also introduced 

to the key MCC Spirit of Cricket messages 

enshrined in the Laws of the game, in the second 

year of a successful partnership between the 

Cricket Foundation and Marylebone Cricket Club. 

The £50million charitable campaign is supported 

financially by England and Wales Cricket Board, 

Brit Insurance, Slazenger and Marylebone Cricket 

Club and many other companies and private 

individuals, as well as the Government through 

Sport England.

Growing the game! How 

did England get to be 

number one? 

Some of the reason why is to do with our 

clubs and their investment in the development 

of talented players. We have an ongoing role 

in sustaining this success and this means that 

we need a dynamic and pro-active KCB clubs 

network to support both club and player 

development. 

Lifestyles, cultural needs and aspirations are 

changing and cricket needs to keep pace and 

manage this change process! Many of you will 

have taken part in the debate at clubs meetings 

and on the KCB Players survey, about match 

start times, cost of travel, regionalisation, 

match formats and durations and family social 

constraints. 

ECB are aware of this and similar debates are 

taking place around the other County Boards. 

ECB have developed a new draft clubs strategy 

which recognises the need to accommodate 

cultural and social changes and this should be 

published later in 2012. 

The challenges include:- 

• Better playing surfaces 

• Better facilities to encourage family involvement 

• Encouraging more adult participation, 

• The opportunity for shorter format matches, 

• Retention of players as their family 

circumstances change, 

• More clubs playing indoor leagues, 

• Reducing the cost of playing and organising 

matches, 

• More flexibility for start times, 

• Running clubs as businesses 

• Integrating clubs into their communities 

• Softball social cricket 

Following the publication of the ECB Clubs 

Strategy the KCB will need to translate the 

messages for delivering the future of cricket here 

and produce our own plans to meet our own 

needs. 

We will seek your contributions to the debate 

and one of the ways this might happen is to have 

a dynamic KCB Clubs Committee with good twoway 

communication. 

42 

The current Clubs Committee representation 

evolved from the Association of Kent Cricket 

Clubs District model which then became aligned 

with local government boundaries. 

Does this organisation still meet the needs for 

supporting our clubs base and developing the 

game? Clubs Committee meetings attendance 

suggests not! How can we make representation 

better? 

Are there better ways to exchange and share 

ideas, sustain our clubs and grow the game? 

What Does the KCB do for 

You - A Success Story! 

Towards the end of 2011 ECB advised us that the 

contribution they had made to the development 

of Kent Clubs through grants over the life of the 

current plan had been about £900,000. 

We thought about this and came up with an 

assertion, based on our experience of working 

with, advising and supporting clubs of all shapes 

and sizes on their development plans and projects 

and, that support from the National governing 

body was likely to be about 25% of the total 

investment. So, if this theory was right, there 

should be about £3.6m of investment in cricket’s 

capital infrastructure out there? 

So we set about some fact finding, tracking known 

projects and collecting all the information on a 

spreadsheet. To date we’ve identified just over 

£3m of known investment and we are confident 

that our guesstimate is about right! If you know 

of projects that we haven’t recognised give KCB 

a call. 

And the above doesn’t include the £6.5 m 

Folkestone CC development!!! 

Success stories are still being reported! 

In most cases our clubs have got after their 

finance and funding themselves, often after 

having a seed of an idea from shared news at our 

Development Group meetings and using their 

volunteer base – recession – what recession!! 

This performance was characterised by one of 

the Presenters at a 2011 Funding Fair: “Never 

doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed 

volunteers can change the world; indeed, it’s the 

only thing that ever has” 


Praising Young Leaders 

Jo Johnson MP attended the Young Leaders in 

Cricket Awards on Sunday 16 October at Lords. 

The programme is run by the Bromley District 

Development Group, with support from the 

Mayor’s Legacy Fund, the Kent Cricket Board and 

the England and Wales Cricket Board. 

Nearly 100 Young Leaders in Bromley have 

participated in the Young Leaders programme, 

helping them gain the skills and competencies 

to volunteer within cricket and become role 

models for others within the cricket and local 

communities. 

At the event, Jo said that he was delighted to 

be there, “both as an avid cricket fan – and as a 

firm believer that we, as parents, teachers and 

community leaders, need to do more to get 

young people to switch off the TV and the Xbox 

and instead engage in sport and outdoor activities 

with their peers. 

The summer’s troubles highlighted the dangers 

of ignoring a bored and bewildered youth and 

will help not only hone the participants batting 

techniques, but also foster essential skills in 

leadership, teamwork, volunteering, and even first 

aid.” 

OD CUACO Cricket Club 

and their net project 

The project was to replace and install a new Non 

Turf, 3 bay net facility at a cost of approximately 

£43,000. 

OD CUACO has over 90 junior and 120 adult 

playing members. They currently run 7 youth 

teams from Under 9 to Under 16 as well as 7 

adult teams. The Club knew that it they were 

to continue to provide a quality experience to 

those who wanted to be involved in cricket, they 

needed to be able to provide quality practice 

facilities. 

In order to continue to engage young people as 

well as meeting the Club’s aim of increasing grass 

roots development of cricket in the community, 

the club needed to be able to provide a safe 

environment, fit for purpose, in which everyone 

can fulfil their potential. 

OD CUACO are committed to bringing greater 

numbers of young people to the sport and 

continuing to minimise the rate of drop-out once 

players get to the the age of 16. 

For the past few seasons OD CUACO had been 

working towards Clubmark Accreditation which 

was achieved in 2009. In the same year they were 

also awarded Focus Club status by Kent Cricket 

Board. 

Briefly the project cost £40,000 with the Club 

supplying 25% and ECB the balance. 

Old Wilsonians’ CC 

Outdoor Net Opening 

Friday 29th July 2011 saw the long awaited official

England in Medway to celebrate Gravesend 

Cricket Club securing Olympic legacy funding 

from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities Fund. 

The Inspired Facilities fund is part of the £135 

million Places People Play legacy programme 

that is bringing the magic of a home Olympic 

and Paralympic Games into communities across 

the country. Every sports facility that receives 

funding will carry the London 2012 Inspire mark 

– celebrating the link to the Games. 

Gravesend Cricket Club will receive £43,214 to 

replace and reposition the current cricket nets 

with a block of outdoor nets with the correct 

aspect and to purchase mobile wicket covers, a 

roller for the wicket and a bowling machine.

Speaking on a visit to the site of the Medway Park 

Sports Centre as part of a nationwide ‘2012 tour’, 

Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, 

Media and Sport Jeremy Hunt said: 

“This Inspired Facilities funding, being awarded 

to Gravesend Cricket Club will create a lasting 

sporting legacy from London’s Olympic and 

Paralympic Games. Sport England’s Places People 

Play programme is a fantastic programme, bringing 

the magic of a home Olympic Games into 

communities across the country.” 

Sport England’s Chair, Richard Lewis, said: 

“This investment will be a fantastic sporting legacy 

for Gravesend. 

This fund has really hit the mark with sports 

clubs in Kent. It shows we’re offering the legacy 

that people want for their local community. 

For hundreds of clubs and tens of thousands of 

people, 2012 will be the year their local sports 

facilities got better.” 


Bexley CC and the

Addington Village CC and 

the Green Agenda 

Some time back and trying to follow ECB’s ‘Go 

Green’ campaign, Addington Village CC decided 

to tack on to their general development project a 

rainwater harvesting scheme. 

Not only does such a scheme support the ‘Go 

Green’ campaign, it saves the Club a huge water 

bill because it does exactly what it says it does - 

harvests natural rainwater. 

The whole scheme was part of their plans for, 

amongst other things, development of their 

pavilion facilities. Peter Robinson explained how 

they did it and how they use this remarkable 

system to make sure their ground is always wellprepared 

using harvested rainwater. 

If you want to know more about the ‘Go Green’ 

agenda, or this rainwater harvesting scheme in 

particular, contact Andy Griffiths, Clair Gould or 

Peter Robinson and they’ll do what they can to 

help and advise.

CLUBMARK 

The ECB continues to work with Sport England 

on the pioneering club accreditation scheme 

‘Clubmark’ to develop a vibrant and healthy club 

cricket infrastructure. 

By registering to work towards ECB Clubmark, 

clubs join a growing number of cricket clubs 

across England and Wales that are prioritising 

junior development, creating a benchmark for 

high quality community club cricket. 

There are a number of people and organisations 

who support clubs through the ECB Clubmark 

process, including the County Cricket Boards, 

County Sports Partnerships and local Sports 

Development Units among others. 

ECB Clubmark gives clubs an opportunity to 

write and implement new procedures as well 

as acknowledge existing practices. Cricket 

clubs are required to present evidence and 

demonstrate implementation across four different 

themes, culminating in the production of a Club 

Development Plan. 

Below, you will find an overview of the type of 

issues covered in each of the four themes of ECB 

Clubmark: - 

Duty of Care and Safeguarding Children 

The ECB is committed to ensuring that all 

children who play cricket have a safe, positive 

and fun experience, whatever their level of 

involvement. 

The ECB recognises the importance of 

safeguarding children within the game and is 

committed to developing and implementing 

policies and procedures which ensure that 

everyone knows and accepts their responsibility 

in relation to a duty of care for children. 

It is important for every club to understand that 

safeguarding should not be viewed as a standalone 

process which sits in isolation from all other 

activities within cricket. Instead, safeguarding 

is about creating a culture which helps direct 

the game and the provision of services that are 

offered to participants. 

Safeguarding in cricket is based upon the concept 

of providing an enjoyable cricket environment 

that is tailored to the needs and requirements of 

children. 

A Club has a duty of care to ensure the safety 

and welfare of any child involved in related 

activities, to safeguard them and protect them 

from reasonably foreseeable forms of harm. 

Safeguarding is about all of us acknowledging that 

this duty of care exists, and it is about us putting 

practical measures in place, in our own locations, 

to minimise the likelihood of foreseeable harm 

arising. 

This section of ECB Clubmark assists clubs 

in discharging that duty. Some of the Child 

Safeguarding requirements are driven by national 

legislation. The Independent Safeguarding 

Authority (ISA) is a new organisation which will 

work with the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) in 

relation to vetting every person who works with, 

or wants to work with children or vulnerable 

adults. 

It is expected that there will be developments in 

vetting during 2011/12, so it is advised that clubs 

check the relevant sections of the ECB website 

on a regular basis for any updates. 

The Cricket Programme 

The Cricket Programme (the combination of 

coaching, training and competition) should assist 

young players to realise their potential. It takes 

account of the Long-term Athlete Development 

model (LTAD), as the development of talented 

young players is a complicated process that is 

influenced by many factors. 

Developing a competition programme is vital 

for young people as it is one significant reason 

why many join a club in the first place. Clubs are 

required to provide suitable intra and/or inter 

club competition. 

Guidance is provided on supervising young 

players and minimum player:coach ratios. 

Coaching staff have a key role in establishing an 

appropriate coaching environment and creating a 

successful playing programme. 

Clubs have to demonstrate that coaches are 

trained to appropriate levels and that the activity 

undertaken in the club reflects best practice in 

the development of young people, e.g. coaches are 

required to ensure that young people do not train 

excessively or in conditions that may cause injury 

or discomfort.

Knowing Your Club and its Community - 

One Game 

One Game is the project aimed at widening the 

appeal of cricket to ensure as many people as 

possible are welcomed into the game at all levels 

regardless of age, race, ability, gender, ethnic 

origin, nationality, colour, parental or marital 

status, religious belief, class or social background, 

sexual preference or political belief. 

As the guardians of cricket, it is up to each and 

every one of us to hand our game on in better 

shape than when we found it. 

The One Game philosophy applies to everyone, 

at every level from the playground through 

to our international teams, from players to 

volunteers and fans. 

The basic premise for this section of ECB 

Clubmark is to ensure that all clubs are aware 

of their immediate community. That way, a club 

can ensure it is meeting the needs of its local 

community when planning opportunities for 

people to participate in cricket. 

There are many ways in which clubs can fulfill 

their part of the One Game Pledge requirement, 

regardless of whether they are a smaller club 

based in a rural area, or a larger club in an inner 

city. It is about selecting the methods that best 

suit each club situation. This section is aimed 

at increasing involvement in cricket amongst all 

sectors of society, including, but not limited to, 

ethnic minority groups. 

Various One Game Pledge examples can be 

found on the ECB website. 

Club Management 

Clubs that are well managed tend to be 

successful. They have well ordered finances, and 

keep volunteers and members well-informed 

with good communication. 

If the day to day running of the club is dealt 

with efficiently, strong links can be formed with 

external partners, such as sports development 

agencies and local schools, and relationships 

developed with the ECB to ensure that good 

practice is maintained. A well managed club plans 

for the future as well as being prepared in the 

event of an emergency.

Kent Structured Leagues 

The Kent Cricket League and the Kent 

Regional Cricket League 

Performance Quality Standards 

Criteria and Compliance 2012 - 2015 

KCL and KRCL are proposing to set PQS banding level 

compliance from the KCL Premier League through to 

Division 5 and also for the management of the interface 

between KCL and KRCL, where an assessment is made 

of the quality of the playing surfaces for promotion into 

the KCL structure. This Improvement Plan provides 

clubs with guidance to to achieve these standards for 

the period 2012 to 2015. 

The ECB PQS Regime banding Levels are:- 

V Good 5 83.3% 100.0% 

Good 4 66.7% 83.3% 

Above average 3 50.0% 66.7% 

Below average 2 33.3% 50.0% 

Poor 1 16.7% 33.3% 

Unfit 0 0.0% 16.7% 

For the KCL, which consists of clubs playing at the 

highest level of performance in the County, the target 

banding needs to be much more tightly defined to 

reflect the quality of performance, player capabilities and 

the League’s profile and reputation. 

These PQS based quantified performance levels can also 

be correlated with the parallel qualitative based Panel 

Umpires Markings. 

For clubs already members of KCL and those Regional 

League clubs in the KRCL Premier Division the 

expectation is that their PQS assessments “score” 

should be at least 75%, or higher - well into the “Good” 

banding level !!! A PQS result below 75% but above 70% 

will act as a warning sign of performance deficiency and 

will require the club to demonstrate a remedial action 

plan, 

These PQS performance levels should not be too 

difficult to achieve given an adequate year round 

maintenance regime, Groundsman or Contractor 

competence, access to appropriate equipment, quality 

control of imported materials and suitable budgets for 

ground maintenance. 

50 

Translating the PQS Regime to the 

performance requirement of both the KCL 

and KRCL structures:-

FOCUS CLUB UPDATE 

Kent Cricket Board will continue to offer support 

to ClubMark accredited clubs through the Focus 

Club Community Cluster Programme. The 

scheme offers an exciting package of support to 

ambitious clubs. Clubs are required to sign up 

to a Focus Club Agreement that explains how 

the programme works, the support the club can 

expect and how KCB will help in the continuous 

improvement of the club. The ECB define a 

FCCC as a cricket club that:- 

• Is affiliated to the ECB via the County Cricket 

Board. 

• Is committed to achieving the objectives within 

‘Building Partnerships’. 

• Will work in partnership with ECB, the County 

Cricket Board, schools and the community to 

deliver high quality agreed development plan 

outcomes. 

• Has achieved or is committed to achieving 

and maintaining ECB Clubmark Accreditation 

evidencing that they are a safe, effective and child 

friendly club. 

• Has a club development plan that has been 

approved by the County Cricket Board and is 

reviewed and updated on an annual basis. 

In Kent they have been selected by the KCB on 

the basis that:- 

• They are identified as a key deliverer within the 

County Cricket Board strategic development plan. 

• They are committed strategically to delivery 

of junior development programmes and/or 

development activities with specific target groups 

(disability, women/girls, and ethnic minorities). 

• They are able to access and utilise ECB, County 

Cricket Board and local development resources 

to support the delivery of their club development 

plan 

The KCB objectives for the Focus Club 

programme are: 

• To promote the development of cricket clubs 

for young people through enhanced club school 

links and extended community access. 

52 

• To promote the development of ‘hub/beacon’ 

clubs that create club networks and pathways 

through sport linked to the KCB development 

programmes. 

•To ensure that Cricket Clubs offer opportunities 

for all those wishing to participate in the game as 

players, coaches, groundsmen, scorers, umpires 

and administrators as a key piece of succession 

planning and personal development to sustain the 

needs of the game. 

• To ensure that Cricket Clubs become the focus 

for the provision of local community cricket, 

including inner-city areas and that these clubs 

then increase the resources available to KCB to 

offer more support to all stakeholders. 

•To ensure that facility investment is supported 

by adequate investment in the training and 

development of key people (coaches, officials and 

administrators).

Kent Ladies Report 

Cricket Report 2011 

Kent Senior Women had a very successful 

2011 season. They won the County 

Championship for the fourth time in six 

years and also won the National T/20 Finals 

Day at Shenley to complete a County 

Championship “Double”, the first time this 

has ever been achieved by any County! Their 

playing record in the County Championships 

was Played 10, won 7, abandonded 2. The 

only loss was against old rivals Sussex in 

the final game of the season, by which time 

the County Title had already been secured. 

Kent qualified for the National Finals Day 

from earlier zonal rounds at Guildford, along 

with Sussex, Berkshire and Yorkshire. In the 

semi-final, Kent beat Sussex by 5 wickets and 

in the final beat Berkshire by a comfortable 

8 wickets. 

The County win ensured another trip to 

Buckingham Palace to receive medals from 

Prince Philip. He must be getting to know 

them by name now! 

The leading run scorer for last season was 

the captain Charlotte Edwards, with 702 

runs and was well supported by her fellow 

opening bat Tammy Beaumont with 501 runs. 

Edwards also took 19 wickets along with 

Laura Marsh who took the same number. 

Kent’s success has also been recognized 

by the England selectors with Charlotte 

Edwards, Tammy Beaumont, Lydia Greenway, 

Laura Marsh and Susie Rowe selected in 

the 14 strong party to tour New Zealand 

in February/March 2012. This is a fantastic 

achievement by Kent women. 

Kent’s ‘homegrown’ Lydia Greenway was 

named Player of the Series in the Summer 

Series against New Zealand and also in the 

England Winter Tour of Australia in January. 

Lydia was then nominated for and won the 

ECB England Player of the Year at Lords in 

June. 

54 

Greenway and Charlotte Edwards were 

also nominated in the final 4 for the ICC 

International Player of the Year at The 

Grosvenor Hotel, Mayfair in September. 

In the upcoming 2012 season, Kent Women’s 

first two County games are being played at 

the St Lawrence County Ground, Canterbury 

on Sunday 6th and Monday 7th May. Start 

time is 11.00 am and your support would be 

very welcome at the ‘Home of Kent Cricket’ 

to support our County women cricketers. 

Kent also run age group County teams in 

U11, U13, U15 and U17 and they always 

fare well in matches against other Counties. 

There are league fixtures set up and Kent are 

pleased to have sponsorship from Southern 

Water now to help run Festivals for U11 and 

the local leagues. 

The Women and Girls of Kent are looking 

forward to another marvelous season in 

2012! 

Mike Askew 

Kent over 50’s 

Kent 50+ 

We started the Season with our usual 

pleasurable get together for a match at the 

invitation of Sevenoaks Old Oaks which saw 

a number of our batsmen in form. 

Our first county league match was against 

Hertfordshire at Gore Court where Herts 

made 192 – 6 and we won the match within 

34 overs. Against Surrey, Kent scored 267 for 

the loss of 2 wickets and Surrey finished on 

181 for the loss of 7 wickets. We won our 

next match against Essex by 51 runs.Next a 

close win against Berkshire where we won 

by just 6 runs and their last wicket fell at the 

penultimate ball. 

With problems at Gore Court due to their 

earlier fire we were lucky to get the use 

of their neighbouring ground at Upchurch. 

Upchurch are currently improving and 

adding to their pavilion facilities which is so 

enhanced by the assistance of club members. 

The club deserve to be congratulated on 

securing help both financially and with 

workforce, not only from club members but 

from outside the club as well. 

We played Middlesex in our first game at 

Upchurch who were the reigning national 

champions although Kent were the only 

team to beat them in their championship 

year which meant they finished 3rd in our 

group; so to then go on and win the Final 

was a great achievement. Even so we beat 

them again this year when they were bowled 

out for 196. Kent won by 5 wickets with 4 

overs to spare. Our highest score to date did 

not deny Bucks from a surprising win by 2 

wickets. A great game, with Bucks needing 14 

off the last over to win it. The match against 

Sussex was rained off and Sussex ultimately 

conceded the match. 

This loss to Bucks did not affect the 

outcome of the award of the “Wasim Raja 

Trophy” which is awarded to the winner 

of our Regional Group which Kent won 

this year. Wasim, an exciting Pakistan 

International Cricketer, sadly died on the 

field of play while representing Surrey in 

a 50+ match. He was a most respected 

man both on and off the field. The “Surrey 

Association of Senior Cricketers” presented, 

in his memory, a Cup for the “County 

Championship” and a Shield for the “Home 

Counties Championship”. 

The First Knockout Round 

We faced Oxfordshire in the first of the 

Knockout Rounds, the 2010 losing finalists. 

Kent batted first making 223 – 8 with 

Oxfordshire losing 9 wickets for 203; a win 

for Kent by 20 runs. 

The Quarter Final 

Drawn at Home to Hampshire who we 

restricted to 191 for the loss of 9 wickets. 

and Kent made 192 in just 35 overs to win 

the match. 

The Semi Final 

Drawn away to Gloucestershire who had 

reached the Final stages for the first time, 

but had however gained a reputation as 

being a tough team to beat. Kent won the 

toss and elected to field first and restricted 

Gloucestershire to 196 – 8 on a fast 

deteriorating pitch. Needing 50 to win off 

the last 11 overs, less than 5 an over and 7 

wickets in hand Kent were confident of a 

win until the batsmen found the pitch even 

more difficult and lost 2 batsmen in 2 overs. 

In an exciting finish we won the game with 2 

overs to spare. 

The Final 

Played at the truly amazing ground created 

by the late Sir John Paul Getty, “Wormsley” 

must be the most visually pleasing ground 

on which to play or attend a cricket match. 

Kent and Derbyshire, our opponents, were 

fortunate to play the ECB 50+ Final at this 

venue.

Kent over 50’s Kent over 60’s 

Having posed for a multitude of photographs 

with their respective teams the captains 

tossed for innings which Kent won and 

elected to field first. All the Kent bowlers 

did particularly well and having done so well 

early on in the field the standard dropped, 

including catches, and Derbyshire managed 6 

an over off the last 10 overs to finish on 182 

for the loss of 6 wickets. 

Lunch was taken between innings, with Kent 

feeling confident of reaching the score set 

by Derbyshire but Kent lost 4 wickets in 

the first 15 overs for 39 runs.With number 

11 at the crease Kent needed 45 to win 

in 5 overs with 1 wicket left. They batted 

superbly but needing 10 off the last over 

they ran 3 singles and then needing 7 off the 

last two balls Kevin Masters hit an excellent 

shot over extra cover which was going for 

six until a rather sprightly 50 odd year old 

appeared from what seemed nowhere and 

took the most amazing catch that I have seen 

in 26 years of 50+ cricket. If the ball had 

gone for 6 the scores would have been level; 

1 wicket left; 1 run to win; 1 ball left! 

Derbyshire deserved to win simply on their 

superior fielding and catching. 

In the ‘Home Counties Seniors 

Championship’ the first two games were 

against the previous years Finalists. In the 

first game Essex made 229; only losing 3 

wickets in the process. In reply Kent lost 9 

wickets in making 215.The next game Kent 

made 208 – 7 and Surrey made the winning 

score in 40 overs. 

We regret there were only 7 players 

available for the Hertfordshire game so the 

game was forfeited. However we then played 

Sussex who finished their innings on 224 

all out. In the end we did extremely well to 

reach their total with 3 overs to spare. In the 

Middlesex match Middlesex could only make 

178 in their 45 overs but the game went to 

the last over when the ball was struck to the 

boundary to win the game. 

56 

The next game was against Bucks at Horton 

Kirby and chasing a large target Bucks were 

restricted to 168.Our last game of the 

season was away to Berkshire at Wargrave 

C.C which we won in 39 overs. 

Seniors Golf 

We beat Surrey in our annual match 

of 16-a-side and our own Seniors 

Championship was played at the Redlibbets 

Golf Club at West Yoke, Ash. A great day 

with excellent food and “some” good golf. 

Our next golf match against Surrey is to be 

played at “Woodcote Park Golf Club” at 

Coulsden on Thursday 22nd March; it would 

seem Surrey are so concerned with their 

lack of wins that they now have a selection 

committee! 

2012 and onward 

We look forward to next season, 2012 with 

positive inclinations towards a championship 

win, possibly by both elevens!

Kent over 60’s 

In 2011 the Spitfire National Over 60 

Championship, once again sponsored by Shepherd 

Neame, had an increased number of Counties.26 

Counties took part with eleven of those Counties 

fielding second elevens. There were six groups at 

first team level and two for the second elevens. 

The top two in each of the first eleven groups 

went forward into a knock out basis with the best 

two competing in the final with a similar scenario 

in the second team structure. Kent sadly didn’t 

make the top two in either of their groups. The 

First Team finished an improved third in their 

group and the Second Eleven achieved fourth 

place. Next season the First Team group will 

comprise of 30 Counties with the Second Team 

group unchanged. 

Once again in the First Team Section Cheshire got 

to the Final and retained the trophy having scored 

253 - 4 with Essex being twenty four runs short. 

The second eleven final also had Suffolk appearing 

for the second consecutive year and this time 

finishing as winners having scored 192 - 6 and 

Sussex failing by thirteen runs. 

Our 70+ squad once again combined with 

Surrey to play eight matches in a Division of five 

Counties.This year Kent have over 30 players 

keen and highly tuned that will qualify for this 

group and we intend to field our own Kent Eleven 

under the innovative leadership of John Phipps. 

If they are all fit at the same then it would be a 

miracle! 

In 2011 Kent as a County played well over thirty 

fixtures, league and friendlies, which included 

two matches in Club’s Cricket Weeks which 

were most enjoyable. At home and away we play 

on some excellent cricket grounds with lovely 

facilities, teas and bars. What more could you ask. 

Not only that we have a group of highly qualified 

umpires and scorers that make life so much easier. 

Individually our performances did not set the 

world alight and we’ve been advised by our two 

leaders that ‘we must do better’! In the First Team 

Bob Phillips made a welcome return to Kent and 

led the batting with 238 League runs. Messrs 

Breed, Packman and Dixon also topped the 200 

run mark. Wicket takers were Colin Breed with 8 

with Messrs Roake, Pettit B and Phillips B taking 

7 each. Graham Brown got 8 victims behind the 

wicket. The Second Team in the League relied 

almost totally on Peter Robinson for their runs. 

Peter amassed 435 with no-one else topping 150! 

Leading wicket takers were Micky Back with 8 

and Rod Warboys with 7.Dave Piper snaffled 7 

victims behind the stumps. We again had a player 

selected for an International, Bob Phillips, who 

was disappointed the match against The Aussies 

was cancelled. 

We now have well over 90 players registered in 

Kent but not all are regular players. We are always 

looking to recruit new members especially the 

younger colts who have just achieved the magic 

60! 

Once again we had an excellent end of season 

dinner organised by Micky Back and Barry Smith 

and our numbers were increased to nearly 50 

wives and players. The Plough at Langley looked 

after us very well. Graham Roake enjoyed his 

first year as First Eleven skipper so much he is 

continuing for 2012. David Kelly who has done 

such a great job for the Second Eleven is standing 

down as skipper and Dave Piper is filling this role. 

Matches may be a little noisier. Many thanks to 

both Graham and David for all their efforts in 

2011. 

We were generously sponsored by Shepherd 

Neame in 2011 who also sponsored The 

Championship as a whole and I’m delighted to 

report that they will continue to sponsor Kent 

60+ teams for 2012 

We don’t charge a subscription to join, just a 

match fee when you play, so there is no great 

burden on your pension! 

Whilst this report might be similar to that of 

2011 (and it is!) the idea is to publicise senior 

cricket in Kent and we’d love any budding ‘seniors’ 

out there to join us. If you are interested, at 

whatever standard, and if you wish to give it a go,

Club Cricket Conference 

Club Cricket Conference 

The Club Cricket Conference is undergoing a 

period of growth and change to improve the 

services it provides to cricket clubs. The new 

website at www.club-cricket.co.uk is providing the 

platform for much of this growth. 

As Mike Gatting announced at the Conference 

lunch in November we are also working towards 

closer working relationships with the Midlands 

Club Cricket Conference and the League Cricket 

Conference. 

Fixtures and grounds bureau 

A new online fixture bureau is now operational, 

free to use by Member clubs. It also enables 

Clubs to offer their own, or search for, available 

grounds for hire. The bureau is open to member 

clubs and schools and to operate both as an 

emergency fixture bureau and for planning 

fixtures for the forthcoming season. 

The manned emergency fixture bureau will 

continue to operate at a modest cost to clubs as 

before. 

CCC Advisory 

An advisory service, CCC Advisory, was launched 

during the latter end of 2011 providing a valuable 

knowledge base free to Member clubs. Having the 

experience of 1,000 Member clubs and leagues 

at our fingertips, we have the opportunity to 

provide solutions to a wide range of issues, topics, 

concerns and problems which are faced daily by 

club administrators, trustees and cricketers. 

It is extremely unlikely that any problem which a 

club faces today has not been dealt with by others 

in the Membership at some time in the past. If 

we cannot find the solution immediately, then we 

most certainly know someone who can. A list of 

FAQs has been compiled and is included in the 

Members area of the new website . 

It is early days and the service will be extended 

over time as more issues are brought to us and 

resolved. The Conference are committed to 

helping Member clubs tackle the thorny situations 

as well as simple FAQs. 

Feeding the cricketing pyramid - engaging 

with all levels of cricket. 

We are committed to embracing the interests of 

club cricket at all levels ranging from clubs and 

teams playing in parks to the highest reaches of 

club cricket. 

Our objectives are to create an environment 

promoting opportunities enabling clubs and 

players of all talents to find a level of competition 

which best matches their skills and to realise their 

full potential. 

We are similarly committed to finding ways by 

which teams playing on basic facilities can find 

access to better, under utilised, grounds raising 

standards and opportunities for all. 

Sunday cricket 

In addition to the Conference Cup, we are also 

promoting local Twenty/20 competitions to 

encourage more Sunday cricket bring greater 

vibrancy and utilisation of clubhouse and ground 

facilities, to increase player participation and to 

promote close engagement between cricketers of 

all levels and backgrounds. 

Representative cricket and tours 

In addition to our well established fixture list for 

our Representative XI we are adding fixtures 

against county 2nd XIs and developing Women’s 

and U21 XIs both of which enjoyed their first 

fixtures last year and expanded programme this 

year and next. 

In recent years this has included tours to 

Australia, the West Indies and Denmark. Tours are 

planned in 2012 to Oman and Jersey.

THE PHOENIX CRICKET 

FACILITIES REGENERATION 

GROUP 

The Phoenix Cricket Facilities Regeneration Group 

has been in existence for three years and was 

developed from an initiative by Peter Wiseman who, 

having found himself in the unenviable position of 

finding a second ground for Beckenham Cricket 

Club, decided to research the serious problem 

of a lack of available ‘extra’ cricket facilities in the 

Beckenham/Bromley area. A survey was carried out 

during the winter of 2007 and sites were located 

in the Beckenham area which used to support 

cricket and where there were over 40 squares 

and today there are none! With assistance from 

Ken Slater (Manager Kent CCC Beckenham), a 

Paper was written, submitted to the Kent Cricket 

League and was duly signed off by former Chairman 

Howard Smith who immediately wanted to become 

involved. Word got around and several of the most 

respected personages from within the League all 

signified support and willingness to ‘come aboard’. 

The inaugural meeting was held at Beckenham 

CC in early December 2008 and the Group grew 

in numbers to include two ECB officials as well 

as a representative from the London Borough of 

Bromley. 

At the first meeting of 2012 under the 

Chairmanship of Howard Smith, it was decided 

to decrease the active numbers of the Group in 

order to facilitate better attendance at periodic 

meetings. It was also decided to look at all the 

sites in our portfolio and categorise them as ‘dead’, 

‘dormant’ or ‘active’ and concentrate the Group’s 

efforts on those sites where, it is felt, the return of 

cricket is most likely. The streamlined Committee 

still retains the original members of the Group 

on the periphery and encourages them to keep in 

touch with the Phoenix Project and provide input 

wherever possible. The other major development 

within the Group has been the construction of a 

website. 

www.phoenix-grounds.co.uk 

It is felt that having our own website is the way 

forward with each member of the Group and Project 

‘managers’ (those detailed to take control of a 

project) having the facility of adding fresh information/ 

development of a project. 

The current Committee consists of: 

Peter Wiseman (Beckenham CC) (Secretary) 

Howard Smith (ODCUACO CC) (Chairman) 

Ken Slater (HSBC CC) (Manager Kent CCC 

Beckenham) 

Andy Pye (Old Colfeians CC) (KCB/ECB Regional 

Development Officer) 

Errol Valentine (Holmesdale/Beckenham CCs) 

(Website Administrator) 

The current ‘active’ projects are the Harris 

Federation Bromley ground in Lennard Road, 

Beckenham, Glaxo SmithKline, Beckenham, Granby 

and Bethlem Royal Hospital. The Harris Federation 

site is the subject of interest by Beckenham CC 

who have submitted a business proposal to the 

Federation which has been accepted. A 25-year 

lease is close to being signed and a contractor has 

located the square, quoted for its restoration and 

it is hoped that cricket will return in 2013. The 

Bethlem site is interesting Old Wilsonians CC and 

has been assessed by Andy Peirson, Kent CCC 

Head Groundsman. 

The pavilion is currently being refurbished and 

this ground would be a delightful place to play 

once more if successfully restored. Granby has 

also been assessed and, given that cricket was 

played at the site in recent times, would be an 

excellent project for a club seeking an extra 

facility. It has the added advantage of a splendid 

clubhouse which would be available on match days. 

Finally, the Glaxo SmithKline site has seen media 

coverage due to the proposed development of the 

Wellcome Laboratories site. The cricket ground is 

well-maintained and the square has been located. 

Further information should become available 

shortly but it is seen as possibly a ground that 

could support both a senior and junior square. 

The Group has, during the course if its 3-year 

existence, built up a considerable knowledge base 

with a Generic Model having been produced with 

information on ‘how to do it’. We are here to help 

clubs find extra facilities as we all know that, due to 

the increase in numbers of Juniors playing the game, 

extra facilities are at a premium and, in the future, 

there may well be not enough grounds available for 

the numbers playing cricket. 

It is hoped that clubs will visit our website and, if 

they show an interest in a certain project, to please 

contact the Project Manager direct for information 

and updates.

Club Reports 2011 

Addington Village 

As always the start of the season was eagerly 

anticipated. We were keen to see if the addition of 

new players following some departures could help the 

1st XI improve on their 4th place in Division 3 last 

season. 2011 saw a change in command, with Ben Buet 

succeeding Neil Scott as 1st XI captain. 

The season started in disappointing fashion, with a 

defeat away at Linden Park, where our score of 210-5 

(N Scott 91, M Case 70) was chased down. A victory 

against High Halstow was followed by an emphatic 152 

run win versus Old Elthamians, where after scoring 

247-9 (T Down 80no) OE’s were dismissed for 95 in 26 

overs. The result saw us climb to 3rd place – a position 

that we maintained for more or less the rest of the 

season. A drawn game against Old Colfeians (B Buet 99) 

was followed by an agonising loss away against Catford 

Wanderers, where we fell 3 runs short attempting to 

chase down 265 (despite J Piggot 51, M Case 81 and T 

Nissen 5-46). 

Successive wins against Old Wilsonians and Minister 

were unfortunately followed by defeat in a close 

game against Bromley Common. Our momentum 

was now gone and a comprehensive loss followed in 

the return fixture against Linden Park. The weather 

then intervened with the game versus High Halstow 

abandoned without a ball being bowled. We seemed well 

set to win the next game but Old Elthamians held on 

to close at 96-8 in response to our score of 230-6 (N 

Scott 60, M Case 81). Good wins then followed against 

Old Colfeians and Catford Wanderers. We floundered 

against Old Wilsonians, where our below par score of 

186-5 was chased down and we lost by 5 wickets. The 

following week we dismissed Minster for 203 (B Buet 

6-39) in response to our total of 213. 

The weather intervened in the next game against Sidcup 

which was abandoned. The season came to an end with 

defeat against Bromley Common. Although we spent 

most of the season in 3rd place, we fell out of the battle 

for promotion several weeks before the end of the 

season. In retrospect it was a good season, taking into 

account the inconsistency in availabilities that occurred 

some weeks and injuries, which resulted in a number of 

younger players playing this year. 

Fourth place in 2010, third place in 2011 – we hope that 

the improving trend can continue in 2012. The statistics 

for the season were: won 8, lost 6, drew 2, abandoned 

2. Regular all round performances were produced 

by Neil Scott and Michael Case, who were the main 

contributors with both bat and ball. 

The 2nd XI continued the trend of previous seasons, 

introducing colts into the side on a regular basis, 

and whilst we hoped that they would produce solid 

performances, we also recognised that the most 

important thing was for them to gain experience. 

64 

2011 season 

We suffered a loss in the first game against Linden Park 

where our score of 152 (P Roxburgh 74) was beaten 

comfortably – although a lack of availabilities meant 

that we only had 10 players. The following game against 

High Halstow produced a better performance, and 

although the game ended in a draw our score of 251-6 

(R Chambers 72) was encouraging. 

The game against OD CUACO saw our good batting 

form continue and we posted 245-6 (M Turner 111) and 

registered a narrow victory by 6 runs. The next game 

was drawn, with Rainham closing at 178-9 in response 

to our 206-7 (M Turner 71, C Slater 78no). A win against 

Downham & Bellingham followed with P Blakeburn 

taking 6-38, the result saw us rise to 3rd place in the 

league. We were fortunate the following week against 

Old Wilsonians, when the rain intervened and saved 

us from what appeared to be almost certain defeat. 

Unfortunately, we then lost three successive games 

against Ashford Town, Sidcup and Gravesend - largely 

due to our inability to chase down modest totals and 

our league position suffered. 

We then experienced a draw against Linden Park, an 

abandonment against High Halstow and a tie, in an 

exciting, but low scoring game against 

OD CUACO. A return to batting form followed in 

a win against Rainham, where in an extremely tight 

game we dismissed them 3 runs short of our 255-5. 

A comprehensive defeat followed away at Downham 

& Bellingham, a game where we were not competitive 

with either bat or ball. A draw against Old Wilsonians 

was followed by a loss against Ashford Town who passed 

our total of 250-5 (M Turner 127) with several overs to 

spare. The next game against Sidcup was abandoned and 

the season ended with defeat against Gravesend. 

The season produced encouraging performances 

from batsmen, both young and old, although in terms 

of bowling we lacked the back up to support Phil 

Blakeburn. We hope that the younger players will take 

on board the experience that they gained this year and 

come back even stronger in 2012. Finishing the season 

in 8th place, in part due to the inexperience of the side 

and inconsistent availabilities, was disappointing and 

several places lower than we felt we should have been 

at the beginning of the season. 

The statistics for the season were: won 3, lost 7, drew 

4, tied 1, abandoned 2, incomplete 1. Main contributors 

with the bat were Mark Turner, Robert Chambers and 

Phil Roxburgh, whilst Phil Blakeburn dominated the 

bowling. 

The winners of the main awards at the end of season 

Presentation Evening were: 

Batting – Neil Scott 

Bowling – Phil Blakeburn 

Fielding – Tom Down 

All Rounder – Neil Scott 


Ashford Town 

By all standards Ashford Town Cricket Club suffered 

a miserable time in the 2011 season. The first team 

were relegated with Gore Court from the Kent League 

Division One and the second team went down to 

Division Four. 

Led by Craig Buckham, the first team managed only 

one league victory all season against Broadstairs, and 

forced one winning draw at Tenterden. Darren Cooper’s 

second team won five of their 18 matches but only 

ODCuaco did worse in terms of results. 

Ashford’s problems have stemmed chiefly from the 

loss of several exceptionally good cricketers in the last 

four years. The departure of Liam Tegg - captain and 

main run-getter in 2010 – to Whitstable was a serious 

loss, and Kyle McAllister, specialist wicket-keeper and 

batsman, went to Tenterden. 

The team never truly repaired the damage caused 

by those departures and had paid the consequences 

fully by the end of the season when both teams were 

relegated. 

However, 2011 proved to be something of a watershed 

in a difficult period for Ashford Town both on and off 

the pitch. Serious flooding from a pipe burst in the 

clubhouse during the winter of 2010-11 left the building 

badly damaged and the Club in crisis as the 2011 season 

began with part of the pavilion uninhabitable. 

The Club’s off-field problems deepened when much of 

the refurbishment performed by the Club’s voluntary 

workforce was destroyed in a late-night burglary, which 

left the clubhouse wrecked for a second time in six 

months by thieves ripping out all metal piping with no 

thought for the damage caused. 

But the clubhouse chaos and struggles to achieve league 

results led to a siege mentality that galvanised the 

Club into taking action on all fronts. Team morale was 

regenerated and the whole Club combined to overcome 

a desperate situation by working feverishly to raise 

funds and re-build the Club from top to bottom. 

Amidst all the turmoil either side of the boundary 

rope, several players emerged to raise hopes of greater 

prosperity in 2012. The Club welcomed back Matt 

Ealham from Mersham in July. The all-round qualities 

that stood out in his first period with Ashford were still 

finely tuned and much is expected of him in 2012. 

Ben Ealham received the Chairman’s Award for 

outstanding services after prodigious efforts on all 

fronts, both as foreman of the clubhouse refurbishment 

workforce and manager of cricket. First teamer Luke 

Reeves scored 345 league runs at 26 to demonstrate his 

potential. His 109 against Sandwich and 80 at Tenterden 

were classy and full of promise for 2012. Gary Sutton 

scored 275 runs, with a top score 78 at Canterbury, and 

Craig Buckham’s 28 wickets at 26, with a best bowling 

performance of 5-30 against Gore Court, proved again 

the value of a spinner. Simon Taylor and Mohsin Raza 

shared a 34 wicket league haul. 

But a lack of consistency with bat, ball and in the 

field, and an inability to bat out the overs, left Ashford 

without a competitive edge in most matches. 

Darren Cooper’s 33 wickets at 19 was supported well 

with the ball by James Rodway and Chris Senior but 

the second team, too, paid for a lack of consistency 

in a season ending in relegation. Neil Tegg was at his 

obdurate best in the autumn of his league career, 

scoring 91 against Rainham and 88 not out against 

Sidcup and Rodway continues to improve as an allrounder 

with first team promotion in his grasp. He 

scored two fine hundreds against Folkestone and 

Addington to compensate for the embarrassment of 

offering himself as a star prize in a Club fundraising 

auction-of-promises. He thought he was due for a night 

out with a comely young lady, only to win the hand of a 

male Ashford rugby player! 

A comic end to a nightmare year with every hope that 

the Club is well prepared for better times. 

Bapchild 

2011 saw Bapchild Cricket Club get off to one of its 

best season starts since returning to the Kent League. 

The first game against Blackheath saw the visitors 

scoring 212 and with Bapchild at 149 for 7 things looked 

bleak but a great partnership by Alex Ward (47) and 

Dylan Lee (38) saw us home with an over to spare. 

The following week saw us travel to Chislehurst where 

a superb knock by Adam Larking (134 no) supported 

by Alan Hampton (70) saw the team reach 297-6. In 

return the home team scraped a draw scoring 194 

for 9 off their allotted 50 overs - Joshua Hunt (4-45). 

Bromley Town was next up and Bapchild scored 199 

with another fine knock from 15 year old Dylan Lee 

(45) with the visitors being bowled out for 137 – Matt 

Roche (4–20). A losing draw to Cowdrey the following 

week was followed by a good win against Bickley Park 

with Adam Larking (70) and Cameron Archbold (39) 

helping Bapchild to 263. Matthew Roche’s magnificent 

5 for 5 saw Bickley all out for 102. Offham brought us 

back to earth bowling us out for 90 the following week 

and Wickham Park was lost to weather but a 77 run 

win against Walmer saw us end June on a high – Adam 

Larking (64), Alan Hampton (5-42), Matt Roche (4-35). 

A mid-season slump due to holidays, weddings and work 

saw Bapchild losing to Nonnington – Lee Cogger (43), 

65 

REPORTS

REPORTS 


Blackheath (lost), Chislehurst (abandoned), Bromley 

Town (lost) – Dylan Lee (60), Cowdrey (losing draw) 

- Dylan Lee (58), Alex Ward (50), Bickley Park (losing 

draw) - Joe Mills (42), Offham (Lost) – Cameron 

Archbold (56). Even after a great start to the season we 

now found ourselves in the relegation battle. 

Pressure eased the following week when we went to 

Wickham Park and bowled the home team out for 

104 – Roche (5-9). A drying wicket saw Bapchild three 

down for two runs but a superb partnership from Adam 

Larking (70 no) and Ricky Dale (25 no) saw us home 

without further loss. Walmer was abandoned and our 

final game against Nonnington who were looking for 

promotion saw Bapchild chasing 242 but not getting 

close with a poor all out for 59. The opposition Griggs 

(6 for 31) not only ripped through our batting line up 

but secured the League bowling award from our very 

own Matt Roche who missed out winning the award for 

a third consecutive season by just two wickets. 

We finished a comfortable 7th and look to build on our 

very young side in 2012. Special mention must go to 

Adam Larking who had a great year with the bat scoring 

430 runs in 13 matches at an average of 45.6. 

The 2nd and 3rd XI teams performed well in the Kent 

Regional League (KRL) as did the Sunday XI in the 

KVL top division. We run 9 Colt sides, received ECB 

Clubmark accreditation at the end of 2010 and are 

hoping to become a Focus Club in 2012. 

The only downside was the Club was broken into 6 

times between March and September resulting in the 

loss of valuable ground equipment, copper piping and 

tanks, stock with extensive damage to the Club house, 

changing rooms, shower areas and toilets. The Club 

would like to thank all teams that visited over this 

difficult period as at times we were unable to provide 

full facilities. It was a credit to the committee, players, 

members and visiting teams that we only had to 

rearrange one game all season. 

We look forward to the 2012 season 

Directions: On the A2 between Sittingbourne &Teynham 

Beckenham 

This was one of the most successful seasons for 

Beckenham Cricket Club for some time with the rare 

distinction of seeing the 1st XI promoted as Champions 

back to the Premier Division and the 2nd XI also 

promoted as Champions to Division 1. 

The 1st XI only lost once and our popular overseas 

player, Raza Ali Dar, enjoyed a tremendous season with 

601 runs and 60 wickets with few batsmen playing him 

with any degree of certainty. Will MacVicar enjoyed 

a fine debut full 1st XI season with 418 runs and 24 

wickets and shouldered the brunt of the seam bowling. 

of which the side was very short. Ashley Forde failed to 

build on the promise he showed last season and, after 

injury, was unable to get back into the side. Young James 

Jones played fairly regularly for the team and showed 

66 


that, at age 15, he is a tremendous talent for the future 

and is to be congratulated on being recommended for 

the Kent U17 Squad. Strong contributions came from 

Chris Isles (not as prolific with 375), Jason Bilimoria 

(350) and Johan Malcolm (349 + 27 wickets). A product 

of our thriving Junior Section, Ross Piller, was everpresent 

and made two valuable fifties when the side 

was in trouble. Promising young keeper Andrew Wright 

joined us from HSBC and made giant strides during 

the season and is one to watch for the future. We also 

had the services of Alex Blake towards the end of the 

season and his presence was welcomed by the team. 

The season opened with a crushing 148-run defeat of 

St. Lawrence at Highland Court which is traditionally 

not a happy hunting ground for the Club. This victory 

was marked by an excellent undefeated 154 from Will 

MacVicar and 4 wickets for Johan Malcolm. The only 

blemish on the first half of the season was when we ran 

into an inspired Mike James at Cheriton Road whose 6 

wickets paved the way for Folkestone’s 41-run victory. 

The second half of the season saw the side unstoppable 

apart from two incomplete matches against Canterbury 

and Sandwich Town. Another crushing defeat of St. 

Lawrence and a convincing reversal of fortunes against 

Folkestone were two highlights in an unbeaten half. The 

team enjoys good support for home matches and thanks 

in this respect go to Derek Wiseman, Oliver Pollard, 

Jim Davis and Errol Valentine. Thanks also go to David 

Tyrrell who appeared on the scene with his impressive 

photographic equipment and provided an excellent 

photographic record of the season. 

The 2nd XI reaped the rewards of a recruiting drive 

during the winter with some new players helping to 

create a solid core which has been missing in recent 

years. Hano Saaiman was one who led the batting 

with 415 runs and was given good support by Duncan 

Spencer (316), Matt Grice (311) and the returning Jamie 

O’Connell (262). Skipper Terry McDowell took most 

wickets (22), closely followed by newcomer Steve South 

(21) with Waqas Naseer and Mushie Punjabi providing 

solid support. Naseer slotted into the side well after 

his promotion from the 3rd XI and produced some 

incisive performances with the ball including an amazing 

spell of 4 wickets in 5 balls! Ashley Forde began to find 

his form and produced some good bowling displays 

once recovered from injury. Skipper Terry McDowell 

reported a fine team spirit and will be looking for a big 

effort from the team as they launch a bid to return to 

the Premier. 

This season saw the opening of the Club’s new 3-bay 

nets facility which has provided a much-needed addition 

to our coaching. The Club’s latest project is the 

restoration of the cricket square at a ground owned 

by Cator Park Girls’ School which is now part of the 

Harris Federation. This was a site identified through the 

offices of the Phoenix Group. Some funds have already 

been raised by donations and we hope the work will 

start shortly with a view to playing the odd match at the 

end of next season. 


The Junior Section continues to thrive with a growing 

band of ECB-qualified coaches and the introduction of 

an Academy for U16/17s has proved most successful 

with nearly all members playing Senior cricket in 2011. 

The two Sunday sides benefit particularly with many of 

their players coming from this valuable source. We are 

also entering a team into the Aero Development League 

for 2012 which will provide excellent opportunities 

for our crop of youngsters who have ‘outgrown’ Junior 

cricket. 

Like all Clubs, Beckenham is looking to increase its 

playing strength and will continue to develop its own 

players as well as fostering the environment in which a 

player wishing to improve can flourish. In this respect, 

we welcome new players to our lovely ground Foxgrove 

and look forward to fresh challenges in 2012. 

Betteshanger Colliery Welfare 

2011 proved to very much a repeat of 2010, results 

wise. Frustratingly the 1st XI once again flirted with 

relegation from Division 4 mainly because of a lack of 

consistency in the batting department. 

No one managed to hit a run of form and subsequently 

we found it very difficult to set decent targets when 

batting first. We had better results when batting second, 

winning 8 games this way and thus ensuring another 

season in the division. Our fielding remained of a high 

standard and our bowlers started to show the kind 

of consistency needed to cause opposition batters 

problems. All the bowlers showed improvement on the 

previous season, especially Jamie Towe who bowled 

with aggression and accuracy ending the season as top 

wicket taker in the division with 37 victims and Widget 

McNicholas who opened the bowling for most of the 

season because of an injury to his brother Andy and 

proved a perfect foil for Jamie, bowling tight lines and 

giving nothing away, making batsmen take more risks 

than normal to try and increase the scoring rate. 

The 2nd XI once again struggled to mount a decent 

challenge for promotion from the Kent Regional League 

and that elusive Kent League Division 5 place still 

seems a little too far for us at the moment. However 

if we could go a run of games with the same players 

team spirit would improve and results would follow. 

Unfortunately all too often the 1st team took players 

away at short notice and the depth of squad numbers 

(and ability) was severely tested. 

The 3rd XI, as expected struggled manfully in the 

Regional League but were relegated. Surprisingly we 

see this as a positive because they were patently in 

the wrong division for their playing strength and next 

season will allow the younger players to develop in an 

environment that better suits their ability. 

Off the field the Club is growing at a steady pace and 

the building of a new double lane net facility, hopefully 

ready in April 2012, will further encourage players to 

practice (1st XI batsmen especially) and also attract new 

players and grow our junior section. 

Bexley 

This 2011 season proved to be a successful one for 

the Club, both on and off the pitch. It is a pleasure, for 

all involved, to see the development of home grown 

talent feeding through in to the adult teams, where, at 

all levels, so many of the players either are, or were, 

members of Bexley’s Colts section. This season also saw 

the continued progress of Adam Ball and Adam Riley 

with their professional cricket careers. Bally captained 

the England U/19 side, as well as playing regularly for 

Kent 1st team, whilst Riles made several Kent 1st team 

appearances and has fast become one of the best off 

spinners that Bexley has ever had. 

Through the continued hard work of David Sealey, we 

again received great marks from the umpires and were 

voted as having the joint 3rd best pitch in the Kent 

league. The Umpires and opposition captains also had to 

vote on teas and, to no surprise, they voted the Bexley 

teas the best in Kent. We really are lucky to have such 

a dedicated, loyal and enthusiastic group of people who 

give up their time and help keep the Club going as well 

as it does. 

The biggest change on the playing front this season 

was the appointment of Jack Bell as 1st XI captain. His 

enthusiasm and appetite to learn from those around 

him and his ability to create a happy, relaxed, yet still 

competitive playing environment will definitely help the 

players fulfil their potential . We believe he will be a 

fantastic leader, on and off the field, for many years to 

come. 

We finished a credible 4th this season and, at times, 

were even sitting on top of the table. In recent years 

we have finished too near the bottom of the fair play 

league, but this year we won the Brian Luckhurst Sprit 

of Cricket award, which is an achievement of which 

everyone can be proud. Min Patel was back playing 

at Manor Way this season and his performances, at 

times, were awesome. Greg Bain was a success, as 

our overseas player, scoring 713 league runs, including 

2 hundreds at an average of nearly 45. He was duly 

awarded our 1st team player of the year trophy. 

We again got through to the final of the 20/20 but were 

well beaten by Hartley, on the day. 

The 2nd XI were led by the enthusiastic Ian Mobey, 

but finished a disappointing 7th. We basically didn’t 

score enough runs all season, with only two players 

scoring over 300 runs. Murty Abbas scored 423 and 

Chris Pinnock chipped in with 308, There was also a 

superb 100 scored by Jamie Askew against Dartford. He 

also took 6-60 in the same game! Tom Scorgie led the 

bowling averages, in his debut season, with 18 and we 

look forward to watching him force his way into the 1st

The 3rd XI left it to the last week and, after getting a

live to fight another day. Individual highlights were Rick 

Melbourne topping the batting averages with 259 league 

runs, whilst George Laing took 17 wickets. 

Dean Webster skippered the 4th XI to an 8th place 

finish. Runs were often hard to come by, with Ian Clark 

the only person scoring 200 runs as well as topping the 

bowling average, with 18 wickets. 

The 5th XI and 6th XI joined the Kent Regional Feeder 

League from the now defunct South Thames League and 

both sides had fantastic debut seasons. For the 5th XI 

Paul James scored a fantastic 349 runs in only 6 innings, 

whilst Ishaq Pala scored a fantastic 176. David Wenham 

scored 170 for the 6th XI. Out of the bowlers Steve 

Griggs took 28 wickets for the 5th XI and the evergreen 

Mike Shelvey took 15 wickets for the 6th XI. 

The Sunday development side was a fantastic success, 

with captain Jason Benn again committed to nurturing 

and harnessing our raw young talent and helping us to 

a joint top finish of the Sunday Development League 

Division 2. 

The ladies XI had their first season back in the Premier 

League. However, we were unable to get any consistency 

or momentum and found ourselves in the bottom three 

on the last league day. Thankfully, we played our best 

game when it mattered most and did what we needed 

to win and remain in the Premier League. 

We are all looking forward, with much optimism, to 

another great season in 2012.

To Manor Way Ground – for 1st XI and 2nd XI league 

fixtures 

Exit the A2 at the Black Prince turn off and follow signs 

for Bexley Village. Turn right at the mini roundabout in 

the village and proceed through the High Street. Turn 

left into Hurst Road by the war memorial and then take 

the 1st left into Manor Way. Follow the road to the end 

and underneath the railway bridge 

Bexleyheath 

Bexleyheath will continue to fight two battles in 2012— 

on the pitch and off it. With bat and ball in hand, the 1st 

XI will look to consolidate their Division Four status, 

having battled against relegation last term, while the 2nd 

XI will have their sights set on promotion to Division 

Three on their side of the structure. 

The 3rd XI compete in the Kent Regional League West 

1B. As a result of enhanced competition for places 

and increasing numbers of adults and colts making 

themselves available, for the first time, Bexleyheath 

will field a 4th XI this summer, under the leadership of 

experienced Tony Barker. 

The Sunday XI will honour both competitive and 

friendly fixtures having returned to a league structure 

in 2011.

The bi-focus in recent seasons has been on improving 

the playing conditions, via fund-raising and any other 

means possible. The pitch has improved each season 

since the cricket section of the sports Club took 

responsibility for the square. More time and money 

will be spent on improving the surface and outfield this 

summer. 

Pace bowlers Rob Murray (right) and James Barge get 

to grips with the Park View Road sight-screen during a 

recent maintenance day. 

Most satellite navigation systems find us without 

difficulty, but for visiting teams using more traditional 

methods, Bexleyheath Sports Club is in Park View Rd, 

Welling, DA16 1SY. The entrance to the ground is next 

to Welling Football Club; opposite WJ Kings. We look 

forward to welcoming spectators and opposition. 

Bickley Park 

An up and down League season where at the one stage 

the first team were just 15 points off the top position, 

we then lost to Bromley and proceeded to lose every 

other league game, yet claw enough bonus points to 

somehow stay up. AVK – the Indian magician was the 

mainstay behind that with 450 runs and 17 wickets. 

Hooper and Browning both had reasonable seasons 

with the ball with 20 wickets each and both continue to 

defy the logic of time. 

Semis of the T20 and CCC cup were real highlights for 

the season but everyone needs to improve on their 

consistency from last season. On the stat side we won 

7, drew 5 and lost 5. Consistency was a big problem 

though, both in selection and performance. 

The 2nd XI continues to make progress. Shaun Keys 

needs a mention as the highest run scorer and most 

reliable bat. Matt Johnson continued to be consistent 

and Julian Ramsey still burgles wickets, Neil Clinton 

was good before he went on his sabbatical. Martin 

Maunders will be sorely missed and needs a mention 

as stand in skipper towards the end of the season. He 

was most innovative and inspirational and took a load 

of slip catches He also did a job as makeshift opening 

bat and put on two century stands in two games with 

Simon Melannaphany. Farhad’s ton at Lordswood was 

exceptional and hopefully we will see more of him this 

year and finally, Paul Bunn bowling 9 overs in the last 

game was a sight to behold. 


Sweating like a dinner lady and breathing as though it 

was his last, no one knows how he survived it!? But he 

did bowl well and that begs the question why he was 

not used more as a bowler in the 3rd XI? 

Our 4th team played 18, won 1, lost 14, rained off 2 and 

conceded 1. 

The team was relegated, adrift by 90 points. 

John Huntley - our 71 year old and very committed 

to the team suggested as a means to improve things 

signing up Alan Spencer, ex Blackheath Wanderers, and 

now 75. Alan did play in one game, Belvedere away. He 

opened the batting, and ran down the wicket waving his 

bat to celebrate his first run - in the 21st over! Apart 

from that there wasn’t much levity in a pretty miserable 

season.......... 

A season to put behind us generally, but with the smell 

of the first cut you can rest assured that Bickley will be 

out there fighting their corner and are looking forward 

to the season. 

Blackheath 

What a cracking year. Another championship for 

Blackheath, more league titles for the juniors and some 

excellent spirit on and off the field. The 1st XI were 

competitive in their return to the Premier Division. The 

5th XI managed to retain their place in the regional 

Premier Division. There were good league finishes 

for the 3rd and 4th XI’s. We saw many significant 

performances from our younger members in league 

cricket, although top award goes to old stager Al 

Dunning in leading the league batting award. 

The 1st XI have been in the Premier League for five 

of the last six years. This year was a comfortable sixth 

place finish. The batting that was so fragile in 2009, was 

bolstered by a strong line-up this year, but there still 

remains room for improvement. Our young side seems 

capable of that improvement and if we can fix this 

aspect of our game we are likely to be top-half regulars 

as our well-balanced bowling unit remains one of the 

best in the league. 2011 saw more great bowling from 

Jahid Ahmed and James Hands, whilst young seamer 

Ivan Thomas was rewarded for a solid return with a 

Kent contract and young off-spinner/batter Dipayan 

Paul gained similar recognition from the MCC Young 

Cricketers. 

The 5th XI were promoted into the Premier Division of 

the Kent Regional League. This is the top of the pyramid 

structure containing 130 teams throughout the county. 

It is against 1st XI’s, with the winner being promoted 

into the Kent League. Therefore the challenge to remain 

in the division was considerable. Captain Dan Lucas 

marshalled the team well over a season that contained 

some harsh defeats and some cracking victories. The 

star performer was Rezaul Karim with 227 runs and 

27 wickets at 12.5 each. This was an important year to 

gauge the strength of the division and with knowledge 

we should be better equipped next year. 

The Champions !! The 6th XI won their league by 

a comfortable margin. Al Dunning, Will Lingard and 

Captain Ward provided the runs. Roland Jack and 

Lyndon Williams got the wickets. Winning this title gives 

automatic promotion into the Kent League - Division 

5 (2nd XI’s). However, given the disruption to pitches 

caused by the Olympics and the loss of Sam Montague 

ground to football, it will be difficult to take this place. 

We are working hard to find a suitable ground. 

The 2nd XI were very consistent and finished runner’s 

up in the Premier 2nd XI competition, adrift of Bromley. 

Skipper Will Hickman lead from the front with 603 runs 

and 21 wickets. Jamal Patterson and Tom Slater both 

scored over 400 runs. Adam Senn and Shojib Ali were 

the pick of the bowlers. Both showing great promise. 

For the 4th, 7th, 8th and 9th XI’s there were many 

highs and lows. In the middle of the summer we were 

squeezed a bit too far on quality and suffered against 

clubs that run just two or three teams. At full strength 

we are a match for all opposition, but it’s the first time 

that we struggled to fill the core of each team with 

consistent, proven players. Accordingly we had mid to 

lower table finishes for these teams. Having said that, it’s 

still necessary to remember that we are playing in tough 

leagues. But lessons will be learnt for 2012. 

The 3rd XI had a very slow start to the year, failing 

to dispatch the laggards, which was essential if a top 

finish was to be achieved. And ultimately this, along with 

untimely weather affected games, was the undoing of 

the promotion run. Although with two games to go, the 

3rd XI had the league leaders bowled out for 79. All 

that was needed was 80 runs, which would have bought 

16 points and that would have been enough to get to 

Division 4. At 52-4, it looked likely. After 5 wickets for 

2 runs, it looked impossible. And so it was. Third place 

guaranteed, again. It’s a tough league and the difference 

usually comes down to the quality of the overseas 

pro that our opponents have. Hamish Purdey was 3rd 

highest run scorer in the league. After five good years as 

captain he has decided to step down - we thank him for 

his fine contribution. 

Broadstairs 

The 2011 season can be only be measured as a 

huge success for the Club in all areas. The 1st XI, 

having gained promotion to KL Division One in ’10, 

consolidated their position finishing a creditable 7th, 

securing safety with 4 weeks to spare. The 2nd XI 

gained successive promotions and will now take their 

place in the KL 1st Division (2nd XI). 

The youth section continues to thrive under the 

tutelage of numerous exceptional coaches at all ages, 

and success was gained not only collectively, but 

individually with numerous young players gaining district 

and county representative honours through their 

performances with the Club’s junior and senior sides.

2011 also saw for the first time, a dedicated Club effort 

in raising much revenue to enable us to invest in Club 

equipment, the provision of a coach and an overseas 

player. A sponsored walk undertaken on the rather 

breezy Jan 2nd was well supported, and alongside 

commercial support from two local companies, namely 

Exact Carpentry and OFP Timber Framed Homes, 

allowed us to strengthen the facilities in the form of 

covers, receive first class coaching on Club nights and 

dip into market for an overseas player to not only aid 

the first team in their quest for consolidation in Division 

One, but to strengthen and raise standards throughout 

the Club. These efforts are hopefully the pre-runner of 

an annual push which will help to consolidate as not 

only the leading Club in Thanet, but in East Kent. 

The Club worked hard off the pitch as well, maintaining 

excellent coverage in the local press which boosted 

the ‘Brand Broadstairs’ locally, and will hopefully enable 

us to continue to attract the best local youngsters and 

those who find themselves located in this part of the 

world.We would also like to make special mention of 

Terry Bond who was awarded the batsman of the year 

for the 2nd XI Division 2, a fine achievement when 

you consider every run was accumulated through 

boundaries! Here’s to another successful year in 2012. 

Bromley 

Season 2011 and a year of transition for Bromley 

Cricket Club. With no overseas player and the absence 

of the experienced and seasoned ex-professionals that 

had been the back bone of so many a Bromley side of 

the past decade, the Club’s young talent was to be finally 

given an opportunity. Fair to say the results were mixed, 

but the transition was successful with the side finishing 

runners up. 

Confident starts by many of the North Kent sides, 

saw Bromley in the bottom half for much of the first 

six games, but the arrival of the win/lose format and 

some better performances saw the side climb initially 

into the top half and then into pole position. A dismal 

performance against a disciplined Bexley side 3 games 

out ultimately cost us the title with Hartley running 

out eventual winners. In reality, the most consistent and 

better side won in the end. 

For the second season in a row, Bromley’s cup run 

was disappointing. Early exits in all cup competitions 

meant that much of the hard effort put in over previous 

seasons in Cup competitions had been squandered. 

Cup cricket remains a major focus of the Club and it is 

hoped that 2012 will prove to re-generate a successful 

and prominent cup run for the Club. 

On a more encouraging note, the 2nd XI comfortably 

won the KCL Premier League in what clearly was their 

most successful season in decades. Captained again 

by Rob Dummer, a blend of youth and experience 

meant that the side was well equipped for all occasions 

however adverse. This was a real team effort but special 

mention must go to both Wasim Hoque and Jonathan 

Froome for their consistent performances with the ball; 

70 

the latter awarded the trophy for leading wicket taker in 

the League for the second year running. 

Lower down the Club, it was a disappointing season for 

both the 3rd and 4th X1. Sporadic availability meant 

that once again the pool of players used was larger than 

hoped and ultimately League positions reflected this. 

2011 proved to be another fantastic season for 

our colts section. Graham Roake, Bromley’s Youth 

Development Manager, excelled in his efforts and 

managed to maintain a genuinely first class coaching 

team. Ricky Anderson once again ran a programme 

well supported by a team of senior coaches and Club 

members. This meant that we were able to offer 

quality coaching virtually most evenings throughout the 

summer, to all age groups. 

A final special mention must again go to Trevor Phillips, 

Bromley’s illustrious curator. Through hours of intense 

preparation and care, Trevor heralded the award of ‘Best 

Square’ in the KCL Premier, for the second year running, 

as voted for by the KCL umpires panel. 

Bromley Cricket Club is located in peaceful suburban 

surroundings, with undisputedly one of the finest 

playing surfaces in the county. With all facilities open 

throughout the day, Bromley remains an exquisite place 

to watch, offering a warm welcome to new members of 

all ages and standards.

Bromley Common 


Cricket has been played at the Grove since 1888 

although the current pavilion was only constructed in 

1988. We consider the ground to be a pleasant place to 

play cricket, and we continue to strive hard to provide 

excellent batting surfaces and outfields. 

Firstly, 2011 saw the sad death of the Club’s President, 

Bill Bassett. He was the figurehead of our Club, looked 

up to by all, young and old alike. He loved the Club, and 

the Club loved him back. Bill will be greatly missed by all, 

and he has left a void which will be very hard to fill. 

On the cricket field, Bromley Common 1st XI had an 

extremely successful season in 2011, only losing twice 

to the eventual champions. With the youngest player 

being 15 and the oldest 30, the squad of players will only 

get better with experience. Given the current playing 

membership, together with valuable assistance from 

both the Team Manager and the “Backroom staff” the 

Club has high ambitions of back to back promotions, 

and a bright future. 

For the 2nd XI, it was always going to be a difficult 

season with some big clubs in the Division. Jack Kirkby 

and Matt Ryan bowled well all year, but the batting let 

us down. Having 35 different players throughout the 


season didn’t help the cause and the Team suffered 

from never having a regular batting line up. Having said 

that, being relegated with 161 points was considered 

unfortunate. Hopefully, in 2012 the 2nd X1 will be able 

to bounce straight back with a promotion. 

Having 2 picturesque pitches, new nets and a vibrant 

youth section, with an addition of a 5th Saturday 

XI team for 2012, the Club is heavily committed 

to developing its talent. Whilst achievements are 

too numerous to mention, there has been notable 

performances at all levels, with teams for all ages being 

catered for down to U11 level. 

As ever, we wish all our cricketing colleagues a good 

season. 

Directions: Turn right at Trinity Church where Bromley 

Common joins Hastings Road (A21). 400m up Oakley 

Road, turn right down public by-way with The Acorns 

100m on left and The Grove immediately on the right. 

Bromley Town and Old Bromleians 

Bromley Town and Old Bromleians Cricket Club was 

founded in 1885 by a group of local tradesmen. It was a 

‘wandering side’ until the 1950s when the Club created 

the present cricket ground out of a piece of marshland 

purchased from Bromley Town FC, a task which even 

involved diverting the River Ravensbourne. This peaceful 

ground just off Hayes Lane in Bromley surrounded by 

trees with the small river flowing around the edge of 

the outfield is the perfect location to play cricket and 

for family and friends to enjoy a picnic. 

Over recent years the Club has invested in a new 

drainage system and added to the fencing around the 

ground, purchased a new grass cutter, mower, electronic 

scoreboard, covers for the square and enlarged the 

changing room facilities. 

There are plans to repair the outdoor nets, including 

the replacement of one of the surfaces, with a third 

net a possibility. We currently run two league teams, a 

Sunday XI and 2 colts teams and have over 100 playing 

members. 

During the 2011 Season the 1st XI played in the 1st 

XI Kent League Division 5 finishing the year equal 4th 

with 180 points with 6 wins. The team have greatly 

improved on last year and managed to beat top placed 

Cowdrey twice. Availability was much better with lots 

of University students coming back to play over the 

summer. 

The 2nd XI who were playing in the 2nd XI Kent 

League Division 5 also finished 4th in the League with 

204 points and 8 wins which was a great improvement 

on previous years. The team had an enjoyable season 

and batted out several losing draws well. A very friendly 

team which was well supported on the boundary and all 

games were played in good team spirit. John Crisp was 

awarded the Shepherd Neame Kent Cricket Bowling 

Award 2011 for taking 40 wickets in the season. 

John Crisp receives his award from Simon Willis 

The Sunday XI had a good year and managed a few wins, 

a few tight games and some losses. With 45 different 

members playing this year, including 11 new members 

Teamer seemed to work well for availability. Some great 

individual performances throughout the season. We aim 

to continue improving and get everyone a game. The 

Sunday cricket matches provide a good opportunity for 

the adults to find their form and for the Colts to get 

more match experience. 

The Colts U16’s finished mid table and struggled with 

numbers towards the end of the season. They had a 

solid win over Bickley with only 8 players. Next year 

there will be an U15’s and U13’s side. The Club would 

like to offer a huge thank you to Peter Scorer and Peter 

Wooderson for their time and effort over the years 

spent developing the Colts sides. Their contributions to 

the Club will be missed and we will be looking for any 

coaches/parents to help support the Colts’ teams next 


The square played very well this year due to rigorous 

work in the Autumn. Our thanks extend to Andy Blake 

and Jim Slamon for all their hard work and support year 

on year. 

To prepare for the forthcoming season the Club will 

be using the Indoor Nets again at Bishop Justus Church 

of England School from February onwards to cater for 

players at all levels – coaching will be provided. New 

players for all teams and social members will be most 

welcome. 

On March 31st /1st April we will be running a NatWest 

Cricket Force weekend where the local community and 

Club members will volunteer their time and skills to 

help improve the facilities and grounds of Bromley Town 

Cricket Club. Details about how you can support this 

event, become a member, find us on Facebook, follow

Canterbury 

Canterbury Cricket Club, formally Beverley Cricket 

Club, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in the country. 

The Beverley Cricket Club was founded in 1835 

using a ground at St. Stephen’s in Canterbury. It was 

instrumental in starting Canterbury Cricket Week and 

helped to establish the first Kent Club in 1842. In 1870, 

it amalgamated with the Kent Club to form the present 

Kent County Cricket Club. A new Beverley Club then 

emerged out of the St. Stephen’s C.C. After the First 

World War, it again played on the county ground, which 

it continued to share with St. Lawrence for the next 

sixty years. 

More recently, the Beverley amalgamated with 

Canterbury Pilgrims in 1976 and joined with Canterbury 

Hockey Club as founder members of Polo Farm Sports 

Club where it has played since 1982. In 1999, the 

Beverley changed its name to Canterbury Cricket Club 

and, in 2003, merged with Canterbury Alliance Cricket 

Club. With three Saturday and two Sunday teams plus 

a well established and a thriving junior section, we 

welcome players of all ages and ability. 

2011 will live long in the memory. After many near 

misses we finally secured promotion to join the 

Premier Division elite. In addition, we also celebrated 

a successful day out at Lords to become ECB National 

Indoor Club Champions! 

I will highlight some individual performances later 

but the 1st XI’s success was very much a team effort. 

In many ways it just seemed to be our turn with the 

weather and lady luck playing their part particularly 

with the wins at Highland Court and Sandwich. That 

said we played some very good cricket throughout with 

everyone making an important contribution at some 

point and we thoroughly deserved our success. 

The team was led astutely by Paul Steer who also had 

another good season with the bat scoring 687 runs 

with three hundreds. He also picked up the KL Division 

1 batting award for the second time. Dom Chambers 

showed his experience at the top of the order 

contributing over 700 runs whilst Luke Samarasinghe 

scored over 500 runs often in difficult circumstances 

when the side was up against it. With the ball, Ryan 

Minter led the attack superbly and proved once again 

what a fine all rounder he is. He picked up 32 wickets 

at 15 and richly deserved the Club’s Player of the Year 

award not only for his wicket haul but also for the 

pivotal role he played in the ECB Indoor National Club 

Championship win at Lords. 

The 2nds had a curious season in Division 2. For much 

of the time they were challenging for honours but fell 

away at the business end of their campaign to finish 

in 3rd place. Tory Hughes, Phil Walker and Paul Davies 

were the most consistent performers with the bat 

whilst Rob Walker was as reliable as ever with the 

ball picking up 32 wickets and in doing so shared the 

72 


Division 2 Bowling Award. Rob is now the Club’s leading 

wicket taker since play-cricket records began with 218 

wickets from 1500.4 overs! 

The 3rd XI had a tough time in Division 1A of the 

KRCL and suffered late on from poor availability by the 

2nd team. That said on their day they could be more 

than a match for any team in the league as they proved 

on the final weekend of the season against Ash. Mark 

Bradley led the way with the bat scoring over 300 runs 

and veteran Tony Mitchell was the leading wicket taker 

including 6-17 against East Langdon to scoop the Ron 

Arcari Bowling Award for the second year running. 

We are fortunate indeed to have Chris Stone 

overseeing our academy programme and our investment 

in our most promising young players continues to bear 

fruit. As if to prove the point Stuart Drakely, a former 

scholarship winner, took 21 wickets with his off spin 

and in doing so picked up the Young Player of the Year 

trophy. He shows a great work ethic and has led the 

Sunday 1st XI with a maturity beyond his years. 

Back to the Home of Cricket where our indoor boys 

did the Club proud as they were crowned Indoor 

National Club Champions for the first time in our 

history after a comfortable win over Blaydon Cricket 

Club from Durham. 

The team comprising of Simon Smith, Paul Steer, Ben 

Cooper, John Rose, Justin MacVicar and the Minter 

brothers Ryan and Damian won 21 consecutive games, 

starting in the Pharon Canterbury District League, on 

the way to victory in their third time on the national 

stage. They previously reached the National Finals in 

2003 and 2004. 

After accounting for Bridgwater in the semi final, 

Canterbury had Blaydon, winners in 2007, 39-4, having 

a slice of luck when, off Ryan Minter’s fifth ball, his 

outstretched hands deflected a drive on to the stumps 

with the non-striker out of his ground. But Blaydon’s 

fifth wicket fought back with a partnership of 64 and 

they closed on a respectable112-5. 

Canterbury paced themselves to perfection, Paul Steer 

(27) and Ryan Minter (26), both not out, putting on 53, 

and, with John Rose’s retirement on 27 in the 10th over, 

another 10 were required. Skipper Simon Smith legglanced 

the winning three runs with an over to spare 

and then the celebrations began! 


At the grass roots our junior numbers continue to 

grow with over 140 kids registered with the Club. This 

is testament to the hard work of Richard Durrant and 

his coaching team. They have succeeded in creating a 

genuine family atmosphere at the Club which is evident 

in the parental support at training and match days. The 

dads also turned out in good numbers during junior 

cricket week although they probably regretted it the 

morning after! 

Our thriving junior section owes much to the Chance 

to Shine campaign which has not only boosted 

membership numbers but improved links between the 

Club and local primary schools. The campaigns statistics 

from 2011 tell their own story: Children participating 

347’390, new Club members 12’532, matches played 

45’218 and the number of schools involved 3’807. And a 

word from Hugh Robertson MP, Minister for Sport and 

the Olympics “Chance to Shine has and continues to be 

a tremendous success. It is one of the most successful 

grassroots sports initiatives in this country that many 

other sports can learn lessons from.” Our involvement 

in the campaign has come to an end after five years and 

my thanks go out to the coaches and the schools for 

playing their part. 

I am pleased to report that agreement has been reached 

with Kent County Cricket Club about using Polo Farm 

as a nursery ground. The new training facility is taking 

shape with the new netting system installed, the new 

grass square has been laid and there are plans to put 

down two all weather wickets in the spring. Remedial 

work has also been carried out to our existing main 

square which we hope will improve the playing surface 

in the longer term. As we all know this is not an exact 

science so fingers crossed for next year! 

So as the 2012 season beckons we are working hard 

to ensure that we are ready for the challenges that 

undoubtedly lie ahead. It is one thing getting promoted 

to the Premier Division it is another thing being a 

Premier Division Club! We are under no illusions that 

it will be difficult but we should not be daunted by the 

step up and plan to enjoy the ride come what may. Bring 

it on!

Catford & Cyphers 

Catford & Cyphers Cricket Club (CCCC) celebrated 

its 120th Anniversary during the 2010 Season with two 

of its component Clubs, Catford CC and Cyphers CC 

having been established in 1890 and Forest Hill CC in 

1882. Both our 1st and 2nd XI’s play in the respective 

Division 2’s of the Kent League with home games played 

at our Rubens Street Ground. In addition we rent 

Grounds at next door Rutland and at nearby Sydenham 

High Girls School. 

The Club continues to improve year on year based 

on 1) a strong Cricket Committee 2) a strong Adult 

Cricket section and 3) a strong Colts Cricket section. 

The Club ran five regular Saturday sides in 2010 

including four League sides (two in the Kent League 

and two in the Kent Regional League) and a 5th XI 

playing friendly cricket. The Club will also field two Aero 

Development League teams and a “3rd Friendly X1” on 

Sundays 

Being one of the few Cricket Clubs in the London 

Borough of Lewisham, we benefit from a strong supply 

of keen youngsters and ready made cricketers from 

overseas who have settled in the environs of the Club. 

We also commit to building and maintaining ties with 

the Borough and the community in this regard 

Our strong on field performances were matched by our 

off field performance in 2011. 

Key off field successes 

• 3 bay outdoor Net facility funded and introduced for 

use during the 2011 season. 

• The key achievement for the Club in 2010 was the 

attainment of Clubmark status which has been retained 

in 2011 

• We are also the “Focus Club” for Lewisham 

• The Club will have a new electronic Scoreboard and 

Bowling machine in place for the 2012 Season 

On field success 

Our Saturday 1st XI finished in 4th place in Kent League 

Division II in 2011 winning 7 matches and losing 8. 

1st XI key batting performers were Kyle Perera with 

303 runs at 25.25, Ritchie Deer with 293 runs at 20.93, 

Charlie Packard with 277 runs at 18.47 and David 

Golbey with 237 runs at 21.55. Key bowlers were 

Sherman Gordon with 31 wickets at 16.39 and Ritchie 

Deer with 24 wickets at 26.04 

Our Saturday 2nd XI finished in 8th place in Division II 

having won 6 matches and lost 7. 

Key batting performers were Ollie Hickford with 309 

runs at 23.77, Anil Udawatta with 259 runs at 18.5 and 

John Fogatty with 254 runs at 28.22 Key bowlers were 

Leeroy Samuels with 26 wickets at 21.04 and Michael 

Reynolds with 16 wickets at 26.81 

It is expected that both X1’s will challenge very strongly 

for promotion next year 

Our Saturday 3rd XI had a strong season and finished 

as Champions of the 1 B Metropolitan Division of the 

Kent Regional League in 2011. 

Our Saturday 4th XI played in Division 2B of the Kent 

Regional League and finishing 5th. 

The Saturday 5th XI played friendly cricket and enjoyed 

a full fixture list

The Sunday 1st XI had a disappointing and not very 

enjoyable season in the South London Sunday Cricket 

League in 2011. They will join the Sunday Aero 

Development for the 2012 Season where they will enjoy 

a full debut season of competitive League cricket with a 

number of friendly fixtures at the beginning and end of 

the League season. 

The Sunday 2nd XI also played half a season in the 

Aero Development League and the rest playing Sunday 

friendly cricket. Our Sunday 3rd XI played a full season 

of friendly fixtures. 

CCCC continues to share its playing facilities with 

Blackheath Hockey Club with whom we have a strong 

relationship. 

When we joined the enlarged Kent League structure in 

1996 there was some pessimism regarding the future 

viability of the Club both on and off the field of play. 

The long journeys to parts of Kent had been mentioned 

as a concern by some of the older Club Members. 

However, after an initial struggle, our concerns have 

proved to be unfounded. The Club`s League positions 

and playing resources have never been stronger 

and have significantly increased and improved in the 

last 15 years based on commitment from the Clubs 

management and our Adult players and now a very 

strong Colts structure. 

The fact that our facilities have been steadily improved 

year on year is a strong testament to the commitment 

of our members and Committee who fund these 

improvements as the Club has no means of private 

support. 

CCCC goes from strength to strength both on and 

off the field of play. We wish all Kent League Clubs a 

successful 2012 Season. 

Catford Wanderers 

The 2011 season saw Catford Wanderers 1st X1, 

under the new captaincy of Damion Grossett once 

again finishing 5th in the league table. We started the 

season well, holding a top three position during the 

first quarter but were unable to maintain consistency 

throughout. There were some excellent performances 

which saw us competing well against the top teams. 

The season was marked by another outstanding 

contribution from Lahri Surajit who took 30 wickets 

at an average of 17.77 best 5-37. He was supported by 

Raza Saleem who took 25 wickets at an average of 13.8 

best 5-22. 

Our batting was led by the ever youthful Jack Haslam, 

who was consistent throughout and carried the batting 

(on his very broad shoulders!) making over 466 runs at 

an average of 42 best 97 not out. He was supported by 

our Club captain Damion Grossett who made 386 runs 

average 29.69 best 82. 

74 


With a number of our young players now showing good 

promise, next season offers a good blend of youth and 

experience and we will be looking towards a higher 

league position at the end of the season. 

The first half of the season for the 2nd X1 started 

poorly with a number of losses. This was partly due to 

players’ availability with many of our younger members 

concentrating on their academic studies. We also had 

a sudden change of captaincy mid season due to illness 

and Jason Walker taking the helm from Tony Forde. 

We had a good run in to the latter part of the season 

which saw us finish in a mid table position. There were 

good bowling contributions from Jesty Arulappu who 

took 23 wickets at an average of 23.13 with best of 5-61 

and Judesuretha Johnmary who took 22 wickets at an 

average of 19.19 and best of 6-38 helping us to avoid 

relegation. With Jason Walker now being elected as 

captain and a number of new players coming in, we look 

forward to climbing the table in 2012. 

Our congratulations go to Daniel-Bell Drummond, a 

Wanderer who developed through our colts system. His 

talent has seen him secure a contract with Kent County 

Cricket Club last season and has played in a number 

of 1st team matches. This winter he is on tour with 

England under U-19 to South Africa and Bangladesh. We 

wish Daniel every success for the future. 

Chestfield 

The 2011 season was both unusual and very successful 

in a number of ways. 

At the end of the 2010 season both senior teams were 

relegated to Division 4 of the Kent League ; that in 

itself a ‘first’ for Chestfield. Yet the disappointments 

of 2010 turned to joy and promotion in 2011, a quite 

remarkable ‘turn-around’ in 12 months. Through a 

number of initiatives and the leadership of 1st XI 

captain Duncan Brown and 2nd XI captain Alan Henry, 

the 1st XI became Champions of Division 4 and the 

2nd XI Runners-Up to Champions of Division 4 HSBC. 

Neil Gowers won the 1st XI Division 4 Batting Cup 

scoring 702 runs at an average of 63.02 and Alan Henry 

won the 2nd XI Division 4 Bowling Cup with a haul 

of 41 wickets. The return to Chestfield of a number 

of former experienced, good players greatly bolstered 

the quality of the Senior squad. Neil Gowers, Duncan 

Brown, Danny Patching and James Tooze all contributed 

to the success of the Club but in particular by their 

example and encouragement to the development of 

several young promising players most of whom had 1st 

XI experience during the season , Joshua Lock, Arthur 

Boyd, Jordan Lofts, Tim Collins and Harrison Wells. 

The Junior Club continued its remarkable and successful 

progress under the superb guidance and support of 

Chairman, Andy Whittington together with his team of 

Managers and Coaches. Membership increased to such a 

level that the Club fielded in the local Pharon League, 3 

U11 teams, 2 U13 teams and an U15 team. 


Kwik Cricket continued its successful progress and 

development under the enthusiastic organisation and 

coaching of Lynn Whittington who also arranged three 

Kwik Cricket Summer Schools at the Club during the 

school holidays. Head Coach and Development Officer, 

Neil Cox, proved an excellent addition to foster the 

Junior Club development programme. In addition, 

Neil also had a significant impact on the training and 

coaching programme for the Senior Club players. At 

the end of the season, a Junior Club ‘ fun day out ‘ was 

organised to ‘ Treejumpers ‘ an adventure park and a 

Kwik Cricket Christmas Party was enjoyed by players 

and their parents. One statistic which reveals the 

strength and commitment of the Junior Club is the fact 

that Junior Club activities took place each week on 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and 

Sunday mornings. 

The 2011 season also witnessed the implementation of 

a project designed to raise awareness of male cancer 

particularly prostate cancer. The project, under the 

brilliant, inspirational guidance of Lynn Whittington and 

her team, produced an amusing calendar ( ‘Calendar 

– Boys ‘ ) featuring members of the Club in a range 

of interesting poses. Proceeds from the sale of the 

calendars goes exclusively to the Everyman Campaign 

Charity and to date a figure just short of £3000 has 

been raised. In addition to a number of initiatives to 

promote the calendar, a major Charity event took place 

at the Club on Sunday September 25th. 

This event featured a Twenty/20 cricket match between 

The Club President’s All Stars XI captained by Vince 

Wells and The Chairman’s Calendar Boys XI. The ‘ 

Perfect Day ‘ as the DVD is so aptly titled , attracted 

the support of hundreds who enjoyed the day watching 

cricket and attending all kinds of stalls. The day received 

tremendous support from many well known and 

successful England and County cricketers including 

James Tredwell, Geraint Jones, David Fulton, Matt Walker, 

Dave Masters, Joe Denly, Darren Stevens, Neil Burns ; to 

everyone who took part on that ‘ Perfect Day’ the Club 

wishes to publically record its sincere thanks. 

The Club looks forward to the 2012 season and its 

return to Division 3 of the Kent League for both 

senior teams. We look forward to receiving our guests 

on playing days and can assure all visitors of a warm 

welcome and we hope the hospitality we seek to offer 

will be enjoyed in a spirit of friendship and good will 

both on and off the field of play.

be called preparing the wicket, Eddie stocking the bar 

and the yoga classes in the clubhouse. 

It has been remarked that the two League sides have 

benefited greatly from the yoga with both sides finishing 

fourth in there divisions. The two men who have 

appreciated the yoga the most are the two captains, not 

only adding agility in the field, but also the calm way they 

have skippered their sides. 

The Club steadily moves forward. The junior section is 

once again thriving with the membership once again on 

the up.Also financially the Club is in a good place. For 

this I must give a special thanks to Eddie Battarbee who 

has been the treasurer for 42 years, a fantastic effort 

and we look forward to him continuing in this role. 

We wish everyone a happy season and good karma. 

Cowdrey 

Cowdrey Cricket Club 1st XI enjoyed a very successful 

first season in the Shepherd Neame Kent County 

League by ending the summer as the Division 5 

champions. Having earned promotion from the Kent 

Regional League in 2010, after just missing out on so 

many previous occasions, they proved worthy of Kent 

League status by winning honours at the first attempt. 

The 2nd XI enjoyed a late charge, successfully moving 

up the table to end the season in a creditable 3rd place 

in Division 5 for 2nd XI’s.

REPORTS REPORTS 2010/2011 


The Cowdrey Club achieved ClubMark status in 

2007 then the following year were awarded Focus 

Club accreditation ,recognition of the hard work and 

dedication of Club members who still continue to work 

hard maintaining the high standards. 

Under the leadership of Phil Sullivan the 1st XI reached 

the top of the division by mid-season and remained 

there throughout, gradually increasing their lead. 

Although with 4 matches remaining, and looking likely 

to run away from the pack, form deserted them, but 

they had built up such a lead that they managed to 

hold on and clinch the title by just a small margin. The 

leading run scorers were Will Needham and Glen 

Warner who both passed 400 league runs whilst Jack 

Southwart (384) and three other batsmen exceeded 

the 300 mark. The bowling attack was led by the Club’s 

popular overseas player Gayashan Munasinghe who 

with 51 wickets, at an average of 9.27 each, was one 

of only two bowlers to claim more than 50 wickets in 

the entire 2011 Kent League season. He was strongly 

backed up by Will Needham who enjoyed a very 

successful all-round season by claiming 29 wickets. The 

team now look forward to the challenge that the 2012 

season will bring, playing new opponents in Division 4. 

The 2nd XI, with a mixture of youth and experience 

were captained by Richard Marsh.Of the batsmen, 

Steve Thomas was again the leading run scorer with 

383 while young Joel Scott scored 262 runs averaging 

in excess of 43. The experienced Gary Marshall led the 

bowlers with 26 wickets closely followed by Marsh 

with 23. 

The Club continued to play friendly social fixtures on a 

Sunday, against long standing opponents, thus allowing 

opportunities for the youth players to fulfil their 

potential. One such opportunity was grasped by Jason 

Carver, a young member, who last season scored the 

first ever double century in the Club’s history. 

The colt’s section continues to thrive under the 

guidance of the director of cricket and ECB level 2 

coach, Gary Marshall, providing league cricket for 5 

age groups in the Border League. The Cowdrey Cricket 

Club now look forward to season 2012 which will see 

the 1st team trying to consolidate Division 4 status 

while the whole Club will continue in the same vein 

of developing and nurturing the young talent from the 

Tonbridge area to play and enjoy the wonderful game 

of cricket in a friendly and safe environment. 

Dartford 

Another year passes by, and the 2012 season sees 

Dartford Cricket Club enter its 285th year. The 2011 

season saw many changes at the Club. On the field the 

Club welcomed many new faces which strengthened 

all sides. The 1st XI were unable to convert this with 

consistent performances and did not achieve the 

target of promotion back to Division 1 despite winning 

both the batting and bowling awards for the Division. 

Congratulations go to Garry Cook who continued his 

fine record with 756 runs, and Steve Silver who led the 

attack with 43 wickets. 

76 


With the 2nd XI returning to the Premier League after 

being Division 1 champions in 2010, the focus was on 

consolidating their place whilst allowing young talent the 

opportunity to develop. Both targets were achieved and 

it was pleasing to see so many young players perform at 

this level. 

Our 3rd and 4th XI’s once again had commendable 

seasons in their respective Kent Regional Leagues driven 

by young players looking to make their mark in adult 

teams, accompanied by our more experienced seniors. 

The 3rd XI maintained their place in the Championship 

West, a division which was separated by only a handful 

of points all year. The long term target will be to see 

this team push forward and reach the Kent League. The 

4th XI remain one of the strongest teams in League 2A 

West, and often comprises more juniors than adults – a 

credit to the stewardship of captain Peter Hughes. 

Behind the scenes there was plenty of activity during 

2011. A new Chairman, Jim Lowrie, taking over the 

reins from Harry Bright Jnr after more than a decade in 

charge. Additionally there was a new Academy Director, 

Alex Farmer, responsible for all juniors aged 5-18 which 

saw immediate results with two league titles. The Club 

also bid farewell to groundsman Terry Reynolds after 

over 20 years of loyal service, and welcomes Mac 

Costen as his replacement. 

Following on from previous years, the Club continues its 

reputation as having a vibrant and packed social calendar 

thoroughly enjoyed by all members. This not only 

provides a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment 

at the Club, but valuable fund raising for future redevelopment 

of facilities. 

2011 also saw significant activity in the local community. 

As the main Club in the area, we are committed to 

playing an active role and the first Charity game hosted 

by the local MP took place, with the next for July 2012 

already being planned. The Academy has also received 

grants from the council to deliver coaching programmes 

in local schools as part of a drive to promote a healthy 

lifestyle and increase the number of youngsters 

playing sport. As a result, the Club have a target of 

increasing the current 150 juniors to 250 by the end 

of the 2013 season. The local council are also working 

collaboratively with the Club to assess re-development 

options for facilities at Hesketh Park with a review 

planned early in the year. This season will also see 

continued investment in the square, the entire outfield 

re-laid, and further enhancements to the playing facilities 

under consideration such as improving covers. All of this 

is under-pinned by the support of our partners which 

increase each year, and the enthusiasm of our members 

who volunteer their time and energy to improve the 

Club. 

We wish everyone an enjoyable season and look 

forward to welcoming you to Hesketh Park.

Deal Victoria and Barns Close 

Deal Victoria and Barns Close played its first game at 

Gun Meadow in June 1985, when we fielded just two 

teams a week, since then it has grown steadily until the 

present day. We now have 5 adult teams and in 2010 

both the Saturday 1st and 2nd teams entered the Kent 

Cricket League for the first time. The Sunday 1st team 

also plays league cricket in the Lord’s East Kent League 

whilst the Sunday 2nd team play friendlies, allowing the 

Club to cater for all cricketers, whatever their ability. 

We also run two colt sides which have produced much 

of the home grown talent, who now represent the 

senior teams. Deal Victoria and Barns Close Cricket 

Club prides itself in being a great family based Club 

with a large social membership and frequent events, it 

has also developed a reputation among touring sides, 

who come for the competitive but friendly cricket 

and the superb teas that have always been provided 

for all visitors. In July 1994 the Club were granted the 

honour of using the Charter Coat of Arms of Deal as 

its badge, with motto ‘Adjurate Adena’, which translated 

means ‘Welcome Stranger’, an apt saying that we always 

try and uphold. Recent improvements have seen an 

extension to the clubhouse and the fitting of the ‘Jean 

Wilson Electronic Scoreboard’ and we are presently 

in the process of further upgrading the equipment and 

ground facilities, allowing additional improvements to 

the already picturesque ground. 

The 2011 season for Deal was in stark contrast to 

the previous two, when both 1st and 2nd XI’s gained 

successive promotions, this season both sides slipped 

back to relegation to the their respective fifth division. 

The season started with such promise when thanks to 

grants from Sport England and Kent County Council, 

we were able to erect substantially higher netting 

to protect local properties and avoid the threat of 

litigation. The whole Club would like to thank the Club 

General Secretary Fred Wilson for all the hard work he 

put in to ensure the project went ahead. The only down 

side to this new facility was that the nets produced 

competition amongst Club members and opposition to 

be the first to clear them! 

Both 1st and 2nd teams experienced similar seasons, 

struggling to gain points early in the season, squandering 

opportunities that were rued later and then staging 

a fight back in the later stages of 2011, only to fall 

short and be relegated on the final Saturdays. The 

Club suffered from a treble whammy of injuries, young 

players working on a Saturday and a change of rostering 

effecting the large number of shift workers representing 

the teams. Hopefully some of these problems will 

resolve themselves in 2012, but others look to be 

looming again next year, so Deal need to pull their socks 

up or much of the good work done over the last decade 

will be undone - a warning to all at Deal Vics! 

Highlights for the 1st XI include the batting of Australian 

Joash Mathys, who was consistent throughout the 

season, but rarely supported by the other players. 

He frequently passed the 50 mark, but both his 

performances against Rainham were of particular merit 

scoring 143 and 100, though Deal failed to win either 

match. Other noteworthy batting performances came 

from Sam Killip scoring 68 against Rodmersham and 

58 against Betteshanger. Austen Marsh also contributed 

near the tail end of the season with 59 against 

Gravesend, 72 against Betteshanger and 59 against 

Rodmersham. Perhaps the one success for the season 

was the bowling of Ben Smith who had hardly bowled a 

league over before the start of the season, but with the 

usual opening pair going AWOL, Ben bowled with great 

skill and accuracy to achieve some great figures, notably 

7 for 47 against Bexleyheath, but also 3 for 37 against 

Chestfield, 3 for 26 against OD CUACO and 3 for 28 

against Rodmersham. 

Nick Francis led a 2nd team that frequently suffered 

at the hands of a depleted 1st team and occasionally 

had to travel without a full 11, but it was the reverse 

situation that resulted in the season’s low point, when 

we lost to RACS who travelled to Deal with 9 men. 

But fate often has another twist and the following week 

Deal travelled to Chislehurst and West Kent, winning 

with only 9 men. It took the 2nd XI batsmen a while to 

find their form but Matt Hudson contributed with 47 

against Chislehurst and 45 against Old Elthamians. Frank 

Packman scored 81 against RACS, when he shared an 

opening stand of 165 with Tim Toon (56) to win the 

match by 10 wickets and he also reached 77 against 

Rodmersham in the final game of the season. Hopefully 

we have learned a few lessons during the season and 

in 2012 we will be trying our utmost to reverse the 

fortunes of 2011. 

Deal’s new protective nets 

DIRECTIONS 

Coming from the London direction, take the A258 (Deal 

road) at the Duke of York’s roundabout on the A2. 

After 5 miles you will reach the top of Deal. Head into 

the town for approx half a mile and just after you have 

passed the Thompson Bell pub, turn left into Station 

Road. After approx 500 metres turn right opposite the 

Railway Pub into Court Road. The ground is at the top 

of the road on the right hand side. Coming from the 

Thanet direction, entering Deal on the Sandwich Road, 

travel for approximately half a mile and take the 2nd 

turning on the right (Mongeham Road). Follow this road 

for 500 metres and take the second turning on the left 

(St. Richards Road), follow this for about a mile and you 

will eventually see the ground on your left as the road 

bears to the right.

Downham & Bellingham 

2011 was a successful season for D & B on and off the 

field. After a couple of difficult seasons for D & B, it was 

great to see both teams at the top end of the table, 

with the First XI being promoted as Runners-Up of 

Kent League Division 4 under the captaincy of Stewart 

Barnes and the Second team narrowly missing out 

on promotion under the captaincy of Nick Goddard, 

finishing in 3rd place in Reserve Division 3. 

The 1st XI played 18 matches in Division 4 with 9 wins 

and no winning draws, losing 5, one losing draw with 3 

abandoned/ incomplete to claim the Runners-Up spot 

and promotion by 8 points from Macknade in third 

place, with both Downham and Macknade losing their 

final match of the season. We were 25 points behind 

Champions Chestfield. Rob Bailey was top runscorer 

and was 5th in the Divisional runs scored with 483 at 

an average of 30. Garry Hopper scored 353 runs at 

27, David Powell 301 at 25, Chris Goddard topped the 

averages with 284 at 31 and Joe Bumstead scored 267 

at 22. Rob hit the season’s surprising low top score of 

67 against Deal at home. On the bowling front, Chris 

Goddard was 9th in the divisional bowling with 27 

wickets at an average of 15 and a low economy rate of 

2.5 an over, with Stewart Barnes taking 25 wickets at 

17, Joe Bumstead 18 wickets at 17 and John Sawyer 17 

wickets at an average of 14, including the season best 

6-49 Vs OD CUACO. 

The 2nd XI had a competitive season playing 18 

matches with 8 wins and 2 winning draws, losing 6 

with 2 abandoned/ incomplete and went into the final 

match with a chance of promotion, finishing in a pleasing 

third place. Runs came from a variety of sources with 

11 different players scoring 50’s. Russ Kirkby and Ian 

Borland both made 298 runs at an average of 27 and 23 

respectively, Jeff Barnes 293 with the best average of 37 

and Sam Mendham made 280 runs at 28. Wickets were 

also spread with Nick Goddard 9th in the divisional 

bowling with 23 wickets at an average of 15, Joginder 

Singh took 22 wickets at 19 and Steve Gritt took 16 

wickets at an average of 11 in limited appearances. 

Spinners Chris Mendham and Mark Penfold both took 

14 wickets at an average of 9 and 12 respectively with 

Mendo taking a total of 25 wickets across both First and 

Second teams. Russ Kirkby was the top outfielder in the 

Division with 13 catches, mainly at slip. 

We lost to Sevenoaks Vine from the Premier Division 

in an enjoyable 20:20 tie. Chris Mendham once again 

represented the Club for Kent Over 50’s, reaching the 

national final where they lost to Derbyshire. 

In 2012, the 2nd XI will travel to HSBC and Chestfield, 

who were both promoted from Reserve Division 4 and 

to Bromley Common and Colfe’s who were relegated 

from Reserve Division 2 with Wilsonians, Gravesend, 

Rainham, High Halstow and Addington completing the 

Division. 

78 


As for the 1st XI, they will be pleased to see less of 

the M2 and M20 in Division 3 which has a more local 

and familiar feel with Addington, Wilsonians, Catford 

Wanderers, Colfes, High Halstow and Elthamians being 

joined by Harvel and Holmsedale, who were relegated 

from Division 2, and Chestfield who were champions of 

Division 4. 

Folkestone 

Another year approaches and we can dwell a little here 

upon last year’s outstanding performances, but the big 

buzz around the Club is the progression of our world 

class facility, that is now well and truly out of the ground. 

As I am writing this, the sports hall shell is complete and 

the builders are already one course of bricks high on 

the new state of the art pavilion that will boast some of 

the best training facilities in the country, and a platform 

for local cricket talent to hopefully springboard on 

towards county and international futures. 

On the cricket front as first team skipper I am proud to 

say that last year the Club’s youngsters really churned 

out some outstanding performances. Particular mention 

should go to Henry Axon who took a senior cricket 

haul of 8-21 against Bossingham CC, whilst still being 

eligible for U/15 cricket. 

The first team had another good year and at the halfway 

point of the season were pushing the leaders at the top 

of the table and looking in the hunt for promotion. With 

good wins early season a stumble against Broadstairs 

took the wind out of our sails and the story of the 

season was being competitive against the good sides and 

not pulling the performances together against sides that 

we should have put away. 

Batting consistency has let us down in the past and 

proved our downfall again this season so we are hoping 

to remedy that. Stuart Graham continued to show his 

promise taking the batting aggregate with 415 runs for 

the Club and was aided as always by the reliable old 

guard of Himmy and Josh Bryen with 400 plus each 

themselves. The old boys shared the spoils with the 

ball as well with 60 league wickets between the two 

of them with Himmy just pipping Bryen with 31 and 

29 respectively. As always Tom Cullen was particularly 

potent when available and we did have a few first team 

debuts with Ben Simpson, Hugh Bernard and Kane 

Wheeler all showing that they could be future stars at 

the Club. 

The 2nds finished strongly this season and improved 

on last years efforts by converting more winning draws 

into victories. At the half way mark in the season the 

situation looked grim with one win from the first 6 

matches leaving the team fighting to stay out of the 

relegation zone. More significant partnerships in the 

middle order and the increasing confidence of the 

younger members in the team saw the 2nds claw their 

way up the league to finish a very respectable 4th by the 

seasons closure. 


Overseas captain Adam Hastilow had another 

productive season with the bat, notching up 703 runs 

at 50.21. Highlights included another hundred at his 

favourite hunting ground up in Orpington and a match 

winning 97* against Canterbury. Laurence Ward had 

a very successful season and was able to convert on 

more starts, averaging 38 and richly deserved his maiden 

league century with 110* in the final game of the season 

against Old Colfeians. The younger members of the 

squad showed more promise and application this season, 

with impressive contributions from Dan Matcham, 

Peter Turnbull and Nick Graham. Nick posted five half 

centuries but suffered from the dreaded first ball ducks. 

He is the most destructive batsman in the league if he 

gets off the mark. 

The success of the team this year was in most part 

down to the bowling unit being able to finish off the 

oppositions tail. The strength of the juniors coming of 

age saw the opposition under constant pressure, with 

Kane Wheeler and Hugh Bernard putting in huge efforts. 

Kane contributing 20 wickets at 25.65 and Hugh with 

13 at 28.92. Adam Hastilow continued where he left 

off from last season with a league leading 43 wickets at 

14.37. 

Folkestone 3rd XI had a good season finishing 4th 

in Division 1c East, they also boasted having the 

highest wicket taker in the league Gary Reynolds 

and the leading catcher in the league Digger Brough. 

Folkestone’s highest run scorer was David Jones, and 

some good performances from the colts that stepped 

up to adult cricket with Henry Axon taking 8 wickets in 

a game and Ben Simpson taking a couple of five wicket 

hauls not bad for 14 and 15 year olds. Overall a very 

pleasing season. 

The landscape is definitely changing on the south side 

of the downs and it will be a shame knowing that if I am 

fortunate enough to raise my bat for 3 figures this year, 

it may be the last time I salute to the charismatic old 

pavilion. It will be sorely missed by the old boys I’m sure 

so let’s make it a year to remember but also a year to 

look forward. 

Folkestone Cricket Club have been successful in 

launching a Ladies Cricket X1 team this coming season, 

we wish them success in their forthcoming League 

matches. 

Frindsbury 

On paper the 2011 season looked like a bit of a 

struggle for Frindsbury 2nd XI but we enter 2012 

quietly confident that we will see a higher standard of 

performance across the whole season. 

As too often in recent years the batting let the side 

down on numerous occasions, usually when being asked 

to bat first by the opposition. We managed to post sub 

150 totals against practically everyone in the league 

but batting second seemed to bring the best out of the 

team, successfully chasing down totals 6 times. 

The bowling and fielding however was a different matter 

with all of the bowlers used throughout the season 

contributing, with youngsters Chapman and Budd 

showing great promise as an opening bowling pair. 

2012 promises to see a continuation of the successful 

youth policy started by the Club a number of seasons 

ago and with more experienced players dropping down 

from the 1st XI we are hoping to be battling at the top 

of the table rather than looking over our shoulders at 

the bottom. 

Gore Court 

One way and another, it is probably not an exaggeration 

to say that the last season was a possible nadir in the 

Club’s fortunes. The down side began in January when a 

fire caused extensive damage to the Clubhouse, leaving 

us with drastically reduced facilities. Gore Court would 

like to offer our thanks to the forbearance shown by all 

of our guests during the course of the season. With the 

Clubhouse going up in flames, the First team managed 

to do the opposite and go down in flames, with only 

Ali Aslam and Alec Campbell producing the kind of 

consistent performances that were needed to keep 

the side up, let alone regain a Premier League place 

as the rest of the team were unable to back them up 

frequently enough. Add to that the usual story told by 

relegated teams of bad luck and defeat snatched from 

the jaws of victory. At least the Second eleven managed 

to achieve mid table anonymity and the clubhouse is 

now back in use. 

These are all things that can be overcome and a 

recovery made from, but it was the passing of John “JJ” 

Jesseman that was by far the saddest news of the year 

– a man who will be much missed, I am sure, by all who 

knew him. The Club would like to thank everybody who 

sent messages of condolence as well as those who came 

to pay their last respects at his funeral. 

Gravesend 

Last year was a good year for our Club in general and 

for our Kent League sides. 

The 1st XI suffered the loss of most of the frontline 

bowling attack over the first half of the season. Some 

younger and older players stepped up to help the side 

retain the place they had won in the league the season 

before. The second half of the season saw a return of 

injured players and an improvement of their fortunes. 

The 7th place was a credit to the tenacity and efforts 

of a side, that had a lot of unforeseen changes placed 

upon them 

Our 2nd XI saw themselves finish a creditable 4th in the 

league, just 14 points off promotion. 

We are very pleased to be able to say that Matthew 

Walker is returning to the Club to be our Head Coach. 

We are going into the new season, full of optimism and 

hope for a very good season.

We have had a terrific boost as a Club with the news 

that we have secured a Sports England grant of £43000. 

This will be put to good use to replace the heavy roller 

and upgrade the Club net and practice facilities. 

We also had a highly successful 20-20 festival day which 

saw an Essex Kent XI play a Gravesend Billings XI. We 

are grateful for the help and support received from 

Tata Steels Europe in securing the appearance of the 

Indian star player Saurabh Tiwary. Thanks also to the 

Billings Group for their help and support. Thanks also to 

Matthew Walker for providing us with a huge line up of 

county players from Kent and Essex and Durham, and 

indeed thanks to the players themselves and members 

and vice presidents who helped organise the event. 

We welcome new members and visitors to Gravesend 

as always. We run 5 sides on a Saturday, a Sunday side 

and a Wednesday side. We also have a large and thriving 

Colts section. 

Directions. 

From the A2 take the A227 into Gravesend. After about 

1mile go straight over the crossroads with traffic lights. 

After a further quarter of a mile go straight over the 

next crossroads. Follow the road for about 300 yards 

until you see tha Bat and Ball public house. Take the 

small road that runs down past the far side of the Pub. 

This is the access road to the Bat and Ball Ground. 

Gravesend RFCC 

The 1st XI season reflected every other season they’ve 

had in Division 4 in the last four season. Another mid 

table position was achieved with a fairly new side. The 

new players along with some older heads stepped up 

to the plate to give the side an excellent start to the 

season. Picking up positive results in the first half of the 

season ensured a mid table place, a similar second half 

might have seen them fighting for honours . 

Nigel Dee scored centuries against Downham & 

Bellingham and Rodmersham . Rana Atwal continued his 

usual excellent form with ball taking 37 wickets to finish 

joint top Divisional wicket taker as well as scoring over 

500 league runs. 

The 2nd team who accepted a two divisional drop at 

the end of the season due to shortage of numbers 

found themselves rejuvenated at the lower level. 2b 

Cricket being to their liking, captain Neil Errington lead 

them to the title without losing a single fixture. Veteran 

Richard Ashley top scoring with 498 runs. Jeff Allen took 

the bowling honours with 25 wickets while 16 year old 

George Ashley was close behind with 22. 

2012 will hopefully see the Club continue in an upward 

direction.

Hartley Country Club 


Without doubt 2011 was the Club’s annus mirabilis 

with unprecedented success being enjoyed by our five 

Saturday league sides, culminating in the winning of the 

Premier League trophy and two other divisional titles. 

The season started badly for the 1st XI which lost to 

Lordswood on the first Saturday of the season and was 

then eliminated from the National Club Knock Out 

Cup the following day. However, Andy Tutt rallied his 

troops well and from that point on the team remained 

undefeated in the league and also won the county 

20/20 competition along the way. The top six batsmen 

were outstanding throughout with Stickles, Hemphrey, 

James Thompson and Hockley all recording centuries 

and Sam Billings hitting a career best 208. The bowling 

relied very much on spin with Hemphrey, the teams 

stand out player, Hockley and Cramp all taking wickets 

on a regular basis. But above all the team’s fielding was 

of an exceptionally high standard and is probably what 

differentiated it, more than anything else, from the other 

sides in the Premier Division. 

The 2nd XI had a very youthful appearance in 2011but 

ultimately ran out clear cut winners of Division 1. Pat 

Underwood took over as skipper midway through the 

season, following James Cramp’s promotion to the 1st 

XI, and his 558 runs, including 169 n.o. against Harvel, 

not only made him the leading batsman in the team 

but also the Division. Newcomer Andy Chapman and 

former colt, Lewis Hickman, gave him good support 

whilst the bowling honours went to “leggie”, Rhys 

Morgan with 35 wickets which also gained him the 

divisional bowling award. Others to impress were 

wicketkeeper batsman, Jake Hutson, Darren Bridges and 

John Mitchell. The average age of the team is in the early 

20’s which augurs well for the next few years although 

2012 will be a testing season as the team plays in the 

Premier Division for the first time. 

The 3rd XI, playing in 1A West of the KRL, got off to 

a poor start considering the experience levels of the 

players in the team, many of whom had been stalwarts 

of the 1st and 2nd XI’s in previous years. However, 

young Charlie Flint had a marvellous year opening 

the batting and scoring 321 runs and, in the process, 

showing maturity beyond his years. He was well backed 

up by Crouch and Kokkiligadda who both scored runs 

at important times. On the bowling front, evergreen 

Steve Barnett took the honours with 35 wickets, 

whilst teenager Kieron Hammond had the standout 

performance of the year within the Club, taking 7 

wickets for 6 runs against Snodland CC. In the end, and 

in a division of inconsistent teams, four straight wins in 

the last month took the team to runners-up position. 

The 4th XI again faced a large number of other Club’s 

2nd XI’s for the majority of the time but still had its 

most successful season ever in 2A East. The leadership 

of Steve Tucker, allied to an influx of enthusiastic 

youngsters, amongst whom the bowlers, Taylor and 

Martin were the pick, meant that the side had the 


fire power to bowl out teams, something not always 

possible in the past. Sam Durling was Mr Reliable both 

in his batting and in his ability to take vital wickets when 

required and Vice-Captain, Elvin senior, also weighed in 

with important wickets with his unique style of bowling. 

Whilst in ending up fourth the team achieved more 

than expected, an even better position might have been 

attained if Tim Clarke had been available more often, as 

his destructive batting was the main reason for at least 

two of the team’s wins. He was also the only century 

maker in either the 3rd or 4th XI’s in 2011. 

Last but not least in the review of the Saturday teams, 

we come to the newly constituted 5th XI which 

exceeded all of our expectations by winning Division 2C 

South Thames at the first attempt. Much credit must go 

to veteran skipper, Clive Young, who moulded the likes 

of the experienced P Thompson, McLean, Hutson snr, 

Mann and Nichol snr to the up and coming talents of 

Fonseka, Kitson-Harris, Singh and Nichol jnr. Our thanks 

go to Dartford Grammar School for allowing the 5th 

XI to use their excellent playing facilities for our home 

games. The team’s success has given us the impetus to 

enter a 6th XI into the KRL next year to continue to 

provide a vehicle for the growing crop of youngsters 

who are making their way through the ranks of our 

Junior Section. 

We again put two teams into the Aero Development 

League but were not as successful as in 2010 as the 

unavailability of players due to the scheduling of certain 

games had a detrimental affect on the strength of 

the teams. Nevertheless, the competition remains an 

excellent environment to give first experience of adult 

cricket to those colts to whom we are unable to offer 

Saturday cricket at the present time. 

Many thanks again go to Len Mann and Graham Hutson 

who have continued to run a successful Mid-Week XI 

which provides an outlet for those who still value the 

chance of playing a less competitive form of cricket. 

Long may it continue. 

Off the field, the committee and other volunteers are 

working hard to maintain our facilities in conjunction 

with our very supportive landlords, the Country Club. 

Next year we are intending to upgrade the sight screens 

on our main pitch so that we can recycle the existing 

screens for use on our second pitch. In this way we 

hope to provide the very best facilities for those teams 

that visit us each year.

After a challenging summer in 2011, this year sees the 

beginning of a rebuilding process at HCC, with a brand 

new website (www.harvelcricket.co.uk) and an exciting 

social calendar it looks like a good year ahead. Over 

the winter months HCC have been in contact with a 

number of local schools to raise awareness of the Club 

and to drive interest in playing cricket at a competitive 

level. HCC also took the initiative to bring on a number 

of corporate sponsors and through a local media 

campaign ensured that going into 2012 the membership 

numbers would be on the up and up! For anyone 

interested in the blend of competitive and sociable 

cricket on offer at Harvel CC please contact the Club

Hayes 

2011 was a year of change in terms of personnel on the 

Committee, with new appointees in the key positions 

of President, Chairman and Deputy Chairman. Special 

thanks go to Stuart Whitehead and John Apsley for 

all the work they’ve done on behalf of the Club, in 

something like 50 years of combined Committee duties. 

As far as the playing side of things was concerned, there 

was not much change in terms of success in the senior 

sections. The 1st XI just managed to avoid relegation 

again, the 2nd XI found things much tougher in the 

Premier 2nd X1 division and were relegated, the 3rd XI 

toiled hard and finished mid table, and the 4th XI had 

another good season finishing third in the league for 

the second successive year. The Sunday Development 

side had a poor season, finishing one off the bottom of 

the division, only winning two games. The Sunday 2nd 

XI had another thoroughly enjoyable season, fulfilling 

17 fixtures in all, and still remain an important side 

within the Club, through which we are able to introduce 

juniors to the longer adult form of cricket, as well as 

provide some of the ‘old pros’ with a chance to show 

that they’ve not lost any of their talent and enthusiasm.

REPORTS 


The Women’s Section had more success than the Men, 

with the Hayes Hurricanes 1st XI finishing third in 

what is a very tough Premier South division and the 

2nd XI finishing top of Division 2. So congratulations 

to all involved. A special mention goes to Lydia 

Greenway, who had a fantastic season, scoring her 

maiden international century for England (125 not out 

against South Africa) and being recognised with the 

ECB, England Women’s Cricketer of the Year Award. We 

are absolutely thrilled for her and incredibly proud to 

have her as a member of the Club, and look forward 

to seeing her go from strength to strength next year. 

With role models like these, we have to expect that 

more players will make the same sort of progress in the 

future. 

The Colts sections in both Men’s and Women’s continue 

to thrive, with a growing number of members playing 

league and friendly cricket, as well as coaching on 

Sunday mornings. A special mention here to the U11a 

boys, who swept all before them last year, winning 

every game and finishing top of the league. We also 

hosted the usual Hayes U12’s Colts Festival, where 

6 local sides battled it out for the spoils and we are 

pleased to report that the Hayes side were victors for 

the second year running. Products of our Colts section 

include Chris Harden, (still only 18 years old and our 

Young Player of the Year), who scored his maiden senior 

century for the 1st XI and Connor Byrne (only 14 years 

old and the Most Improved Player of the Year) was the 

Club’s leading wicket taker, playing games in the senior 

sides up to and including the 2nd XI. We hope to see 

more of our juniors progress in similar fashion. 

In 2011 the Club was proud to host the first ever 

Women’s match between the MCC and the CCC, and a 

unique Kent Captain’s Evening, when Charlotte Edwards 

and Rob Key came along to present awards and hold a 

question and answer session. 

In 2012 we aim to see the launch of a major project 

to improve and increase the changing room facilities, 

which will incorporate separate accommodation for the 

women, umpires and amenities for the disabled. 

On the playing side Ashley Quayle will again lead the 

1st X1, and the Club has set him, along with the other 

skippers, high expectations for major improvements in 

performance throughout. 

Last, but not least, a big thank you goes to our 

Groundsman, Jon Clapshoe, who continues to work 

tirelessly to keep the ground in superb order. We are 

very grateful for his commitment/effort and the results 

of his labour speak for themselves.

High Halstow 

2011 was always going to be a year of consolidation for 

our 1st XI after the tough season they had in Division 

2 in 2010. After five successive promotions and 2010’s 

relegation 2012 this will be the first season in seven 

years that we start the season in the same league as we 

finished it! The upside of losing so many senior players 

in 2010 was the emergence of our young ex colt players 

who featured so prominently in our 1st XI, we regularly 

had seven players 21 or under, and it was encouraging to 

see them start to fulfil their potential in the second half 

of the season. The future looks bright for the Club. 

On a sad note 2011 saw the retirement of Rupert 

Staple. Rupert not only performed superbly for HHCC 

in the five seasons that he played for us, but was a great 

example to our younger members and will always be a 

legend at Rayner’s Meadow! The whole Kent League will 

miss him, that is unless you are a batsman in Division 3! 

Our 2nd XI performed adequately last season but once 

again relied heavily on the batting performances of 

Daren Brumbagh who for the second year running won 

the Division 3 2nd XI batting award. 

Our 3rd XI were relegated after finding promotion 

to Division 1a (Central) far too difficult for them. It is 

interesting that this is the level our 1st XI were playing 

in six seasons ago. 

Our Colts section continued to flourish and 2011 saw 

our most successful year to date with four age groups 

winning their respective leagues, and two winning cups. 

This is the future for our modest village Club. 

Lastly the clubs thanks go out to David Lapthorn not 

only for looking after one of the best grounds and 

wickets in the Medway area, but also for his services as 

Chairman over the past few seasons. 

Hollingbourne 

2011 has been a great year for the Club in many ways 

and every single team has performed well throughout 

the season. The Club put out two men’s teams on a 

Saturday who play league cricket, one on a Sunday who 

play league and friendly cricket and one midweek team 

who also play friendly cricket. We now have approx 70 

junior members aged 5 through to 13 who play league 

and friendly cricket at in our U9, U11, U13 and U15 

teams. 

The roll of honour: - 


U9’s - Kent Cricket Board’s Mini Super 8’s Competition 

- Maidstone Cluster Runner Up 

Qualified for the County Finals 

U11’s - Weald of Kent Junior League (unbeaten season) 

– Champions 

Weald of Kent Junior Cup - Finalists 


U13’s - Weald of Kent Junior League – Finished 3rd 

Men’s 1st XI - Kent Regional Cricket League 1A Central 

Division (unbeaten season) – Champions

Championship East Division 

Men’s 2nd XI - Kent Regional Cricket League 2A East 

Division – Champions 

Promoted to Kent Cricket League Division 5 

Men’s Sunday XI - Kent Village League – Finished 3rd 

Members of the U13 team - Lewis Bedwell, Tom 

Lennard, Joe Deveson and Freddie Ellis all played 

their part in the Sunday Senior team by playing senior 

matches in the Kent Village Sunday League and should 

be very proud of themselves – they held their own, 

scoring runs when needed, taking vital catches and 

bowling tights lines. 

In addition to on the field activity, the Club delivered 10 

weeks of cricket coaching to approx 200 boys and girls 

in the following 4 schools: - 

•Hollingbourne Primary School 

•Madginford Infants School 

•Madginford Primary School 

•Kingswood Primary School 

We hope this raises the awareness of the Club within 

those schools and local communities. We will aim to do 

this during the same period of April to July for 2012 and 

2013. We also managed to deliver a few sessions with 

Oakwood Park Grammar School raising the profile of 

the Club. 

A big thank you must go to the proud Sponsors of the 

Junior’s shirts and caps Rayner Brown Construction and 

Oxford Insurance Brokers Ltd. Also to NRG Plumbing 

for it’s on going support and in particular this season 

for supporting the coaching team with it’s clothing! 

Without their donations it would be very difficult to 

run our schools programme and supply kit at such 

reduced costs. 

Congratulations to the Captain’s and players of all 

teams. The hard work and effort put in throughout this 

season has been phenomenal and I am very proud to say 

that I am Chairman of Hollingbourne Cricket Club – yes 

that little village Club with great spirit! 

We would like to build on this year and have even more 

success in 2012 and therefore, we are looking for the

Holmesdale 

Holmesdale Cricket Club was founded in July 1840 by 

a circular to local Gentry appealing for members. 2011 

was a challenging year for on and off the field with 

several key players deciding to retire from the game 

which had a significant effect on the balance, maturity 

and experience of the Club. 

Even though both 1st and 2nd XI sides were hit by 

relegation the playing base remains strong and confident 

of immediate bounce back in 2012. A young 1st XI 

were unfortunate not to finish as the winning side of 

many of their league fixtures, loosing narrowly on many 

occasions which in the main could be put down to 

inexperience. Lessons were learnt by the young side 

whose average age was little above 23 for most of the 

season, and this should hold them in a good position for 

the 2012 season and beyond. Signs of potential showed 

on several occasions, for example the game against 

Harvel where two players scored 100 plus runs, a first 

in many years at the Club and finding a new plan of 

attack opening with spin bowling. The 2nd XI plagued 

by poor availability and hit hardest by the loss of a few 

key players, fought honourably in a very strong Division 

1 league, with some of the younger players learning 

the tough reality of league cricket but gaining valuable 

experience for their future game. 

Holmesdale procured the lease of a second ground in 

2011 and manage to run a 3rd XI almost every week. 

This was a resounding success for social cricket and 

bringing the game back to a small village for many social 

players.

REPORTS

REPORTS 


The long term aim will be to re-enter the 3rd XI 

into the KCL, once the player base is secure and 

experienced enough to do so. Holmesdale continue to 

enjoy success in the Development league cricket, playing 

in spanking new blue and gold kit the younger players 

finished mid table, an outstanding achievement when 

you consider their opponents are mostly Premier Clubs. 

This suggests a bright future for Holmesdale as these 

players start to filter through to the men’s league teams, 

something we are only just realising the benefits from 

after years of investment in junior and development 

cricket at the Club. 

Holmesdale still boasts the largest and most well 

established junior section in the Sevenoaks area, the 

first to achieve the coveted ECB ClubMark Status in 

2004 and has now subsequently been re-accredited 

twice in 2008 and 2011. This combined with its Focus 

Club status makes it the leading centre for junior 

cricket for local schools, groups and junior cricketers. 

The Club still runs four successful summer camps for 

children 7-15yrs old and a summer coaching programme 

for all children aged 6 – 15yrs, in a mixture of hard 

and soft ball cricket built around an academy structure 

which allows the more advanced players to continue to 

challenge themselves. 

The junior section continues to grow from strength 

to strength and the boys were successful at all age 

groups with the U13A’s winning their league. The 

Club has a number of county and district players who 

are supported by our Chance to Shine development 

programme which aims at giving them the best 

opportunity for success the Club can provide. 

The Club is rebuilding in 2012 with a new committee, 

training and playing structure which encourages 

discipline and drives excellence in cricket at Holmesdale. 

The Club is turning a corner in everything it does, 

backed by strong leadership and a dedicated group of 

players and supporters. 

2012 will be a fantastic year to be part of at Holmesdale 

and one certainly not to be missed. If you are interested 

in joining a Club which has a focus of the growth and 

development of players and moving the senior 1st and 

2nd XI back up to Division 1 then visit our website for

HSBC 

The HSBC Cricket Club had a successful season in 2011 

both on and off the field. In 2011 the 1st XI were led by 

Stuart Bate. Although the team gave some inconsistent 

performances in the early part of the season there 

were several players whose performances were way 

above what could have been predicted at the start of 

the season. Nathan Hill took over 20 wickets with his 

leg-breaks, and included a match-winning six wicket haul 

against Gravesend. Matthew Green stepped up to the 

role of opening bowler when our overseas player failed 

to materialise and in his first match took a 5 wicket 

haul at Holmesdale (another match winning effort). Jack 

Robertson made his first hundred at Harvel and in the 

84 


last month or so of the season Matthew Abbett moved 

up from the 2nd XI to score runs in every game he 

played. Given that all of these players were of school 

age this bodes well for 2012 and beyond. The more 

senior players also made important contributions, none 

more so than Alan Slater who scored runs and took 

wickets and never gave less than 100% commitment 

to the team effort. A fourth place finish was a fair 

reflection of the overall performance, and is something 

to build upon in 2012. 

The 2nd XI were led for the first time by Tom Hutton 

and after a draw in the first match proceeded to beat 

virtually every opponent to win the division with a 

week to spare. There was nearly always a batsman 

who stepped forward to play an influential or match 

winning innings, and the bowling attack of Andrew 

Faulkner, Patrick Mangan, Lee Hardinges and Paul 

Westerman took wickets nearly every week. This 

overdue promotion puts the team back to Division 3, 

and with level of ability in the team and the right level of 

commitment there is no reason to suggest that a similar 

outcome can be achieved in 2012 as was achieved in 

2011. 

The 3rd XI were again in the strong Metropolitan 

Division of the Feeder League having been reprieved 

after the end of the 2010 season. Although there were 

few wins recorded in the season there were a number 

of close matches, and usually those resulted in defeat. 

Had the team been able to turn one or two of them 

into wins the battle against relegation would not have 

continued through to the last weekend. Fortunately the 

team benefited from the points system, and accumulated 

sufficient points in defeat to remain in touch with the 

group of clubs at the bottom of the table, and in the last 

game a win against Hayes ensured survival. That match 

was a summary of how the season had gone, with an 

early batting collapse, a mid-order recovery and some 

solid performances with the ball. The leading players 

in the team were captain Akbar Butt with the bat, and 

Pravin Narasimhan with both bat and ball. Several other 

players made useful contributions, though not with 

the level of consistency required to make a meaningful 

challenge. 

The 4th XI were led by James Crozier, returning for 

a second spell in charge. James led from the front as 

both the leading wicket-taker and run scorer. He was 

supported by Kevin Dare with the bat and by Harry 

Brown and James Mills with the ball. As is typical of a 

Club 4th XI a number of players who made occasional 

appearances made a big contribution before moving up 

to higher XI’s, and there were promising performances 

from younger players such as Tom Crozier who showed 

potential in the games he played. A challenge for the 

title was never likely given the make-up of the division, 

but a fourth place finish represented a satisfactory 

outcome. 

The team of the year were undoubtedly the Sunday 1st 

XI, who as the Development XI in the Development 

League were not only champions, but also defeated 

Guildford in the Kent versus Surrey end of season 


play-off. There was only one defeat in the year, and that 

only happened because of fixture congestion requiring a 

CCC cup match and a league match to be played on the 

same day. In this instance the second team stepped up 

to become the Development XI for the day. There were 

plenty of good individual performances, the best being 

from Harry Freeman who made three centuries, and 

from Andrew Faulkner as the top wicket-taker. Given 

that HSBC are a Division 2 Club it was an impressive 

effort to beat five Premier League sides during the 

season, and a Surrey Premier League team in the end of 

season play-off. 

The 2nd XI played friendly cricket only, and this team 

was used to introduce new players into the Club, 

especially those who were keen and enthusiastic, but 

had not played much cricket in the past, or those who 

were returning after a long break. These new faces were 

supported by some senior Club members and promising 

youngsters, in other words a typical Sunday team, and 

several players used this opportunity to record personal 

successes with both bat and ball. 

As usual HSBC provided fantastic facilities for all to 

enjoy, for which we are grateful, and we look forward to 

renewing acquaintances with our opponents in 2012. 

Hythe 

Promotion, relegation and promotion. Hythe have had 

an up and down time of it in the last few seasons, but 

hopefully having got back into Division 1 they will have 

the experience to stay there this time. Hythe missed 

out on promotion as champions by the narrowest of 

margins last season, but achieved some excellent results 

under the captaincy of Leon Morgan, who will be at the 

helm again this summer. 

The Club has appointed a new cricket management 

committee for the coming season, led by the 

experienced Martyn Cobb, John Hemphrey (a former 

first team captain) and long-standing member Peter 

“Wraker” Goddard. Things may well be tough at 

the start of the season with a number of promising 

youngsters away at university, but the Club hopes its 

excellent team spirit will see it through the challenging 

opening games. 

The 2nd X1 gained promotion to Division 1 last season 

and surprised many doubting toms by avoiding the drop 

straight back down. Congratulations must go to jointskippers 

Phil Hoyland and Chris Slee for steering the 

side safely through a difficult first season in Division 1. 

They have laid a good foundation for the seconds, and 

it hoped new captain Tom Homewood will carry on the 

good work. 

Linden Park 

The 1st XI, under Captain John Harvey, finally got over 

the line after several near misses and won the 3rd 

Division. Two excellent victories over Bromley Common 

meant this was a well deserved success. The batting 

was significantly improved with Michael Thornely and 

Hayden James joining the Club and ending the season 

as joint top-scorers in the Division. Jayden Hoare also 

scored heavily having stepped up from the second XI. 

The bowling was generally excellent with Dominic 

Lanaway leading the way with the most wickets in the 

Division. The back-up from Hayden James and Jayden 

Hoare also impressed. Hopes are high for another 

challenging season in 2012. 

The 2nd XI under new Captain, Tom Davis, won the 

3rd Division comfortably following the previous year’s 

promotion. Dave Thomas was the main contributor 

with the bat and the bowling was generally very reliable 

with Ed Humphrey ,Dave Waterfield, Brian Gasking 

and Ben Cobb all taking significant numbers of wickets. 

Matt Elliot also performed well having arrived from 

Melbourne for a year. This was a true team effort with 

all members of the team make crucial contributions at 

some time. Hopes are high again for 2012. 

The 3rd XI under John Hoare had an average season 

staving off relegation in the last match. There were 

useful performances from several team members during 

the season and they will hope to avoid their traditionally 

slow start in 2012 to give themselves a chance of 

promotion. 

The 4th XI is a breeding ground for future talent with 

many junior players mixing with more experienced 

players. They had an excellent season under Ray Keatley 

and secured promotion on the last day. Two victories 

over Division winners, Mayfield, were the highlight. 

Direction to the ground 

From the A21 take the Tunbridge Wells turn off and 

proceed towards the town centre. Fork right at the 

Natwest roundabout (signposted Crowborough A26) 

and then turn right on to Mount Ephraim just after 

the Kent and Sussex Hospital. Turn left at the next 

roundabout and then first left into Fir Tree Road. 

Littlebourne 

I was asked a question last year “how would you 

describe your Club?” I replied with “We’re a social 

Club that plays cricket rather than a Cricket Club 

that socialise”. We are warm and friendly to anybody 

that visits the Club and our clubhouse and you may 

find yourself staying late ( taxis available on request) 

and enjoying a live singer performing, a karaoke night 

or Jamie’s famous DJing ( famous to us anyway when 

wearing his Freddie clothing). Be warned about certain 

members shirts and bring a spare pound coin because 

Gerald will not let you escape without buying a raffle 

ticket ( we all need a Gerald and Eve ) with the famous 

words of “ easiest £20 you will ever win “

Our first year in the Kent League was eventful to say 

the least , once we had learnt to bat over 30 overs we 

won more games than we lost and with the brilliant 

batting ( worth a beer in the bar for this comment ) 

from Graham Gould we far exceeded what we had 

hoped for. We have carried on the tradition of producing 

excellent playing surfaces ( don’t ask bowlers though ) 

and we have Bo Bo and Parrie to thank for many a great 

game played and a hard fought but fair finish for both 

teams. I would like to thank all my players from last year 

and wish Neil Davey and James Long all the best for the 

coming season. 

We continue to run 3 teams on a Saturday and 2 on a 

Sunday and with a junior section that started last year 

we hope to improve on this in time. We have plans in

Lordswood 

For some seasons now, this correspondent has spent 

his summers primarily with the 2nd XI either umpiring 

or scoring for those worthies. However a sudden influx 

of qualified umpires and an attractive young lady scorer 

saw me suddenly freed of these chores. Subsequently 

I was able to watch the 1st XI for the majority of the 


The whole experience left me thoroughly impressed 

by the standard of cricket of all the teams, the 

warm welcome I received when visiting and most 

importantly the conduct of the players, which despite 

the competitiveness of the matches themselves was 

exemplary, the Kent League has much of which to be 

proud. 

86 


It helped of course that Lordswood enjoyed their 

most successful season in the Premier League finishing 

third , and for a while were leading the table on merit. 

Richard Piesley led the side admirably in the first half of 

the season and kept wicket superbly. Alas he protested 

too much in an off field dispute about the fitness of 

the wicket and received an extended ban which meant 

appointing another captain. These distractions possibly 

cost us the chance of extending our title challenge a 

little longer. 

The teams success was due to consistent performances 

by the batting unit all of whom influenced a match in 

our favour at some time of the season. Chris Piesley 

in particular was remarkably consistent, although a 

century eluded him, it was his reliability which allowed 

the others on which to build. The top order were also 

well supported by Matt Greenwood and Ali Neal, both 

of whom took their game to a palpably higher level. So 

too did Dan Masters who led the attack superbly until 

he sustained a mid season injury whilst playing for the 

county. 

Dan was sorely missed and his absence caused our 

title challenge to waver a little. The team is fortunate 

to have a battery of spinners all of whom can produce 

a match winning performance. The fact that they are all 

under 21 probably influenced Darren Scott to accept 

the captaincy for the coming season on the assumption 

he can have an easy time of it as befits a man of his 

years. My congratulations to the team for a successful 

year, it certainly beats our predicament last season and 

hopefully 2012 will be similarly enjoyable. 

The 2nd XI finished a creditable mid table, I had hoped 

for a better performance from them but on the few 

games I watched I was impressed by the number of very 

promising young talent on view, unfortunately playing 

for the opposition mainly. Lordswood might need to 

watch out in this division in the near future. The two 

lower XI’s performed as well as could be expected in 

their leagues and thanks to the indefatigable enthusiasm 

of Mickey Ruler fulfilled all the fixtures. Mick is a part 

of the internal management strengthening exercise 

we carried out last year and the benefits have been 

immediately apparent. 

The other highlight of the season was winning the Club 

Cricket Conference Cup which confirmed the quality of 

the 1st XI. This protracted list of Sunday fixtures added 

to the enjoyment of the season and the well attended 

final at Banstead C. C. gave our hoard of spectators 

much to cheer. A few years ago we were losing finalists 

in this competition so getting our name engraved on the 

Cup at last was very satisfying. 

So a very pleasing 2011, who knows what the coming 

year will bring, we are fairly optimistic our young sides 

will continue to improve and maybe do even better. 

Our thanks to Lyn Martin our outgoing Secretary for all 

her hard work in securing Club Mark for the Club and 

welcome Alan Clark, her successor to the management 

team. 


Macknade 

It was another successful year for Macknade, both on 

and off the field. The second eleven gained promotion 

for the second successive season. The under eighteen 

side won the Swale development league, and for the 

first time a Macknade now has a Saturday third eleven. 

The first eleven narrowly missed out on promotion on 

the last day of the season, but will no doubt come back 

stronger this coming season. 

Off the field the Club house had a total refurbishment 

as did much of the ground. This was due to a great deal 

of hard work from the members and especially the 

grounds man. 

Macknade’s status as a Focus Club was confirmed and 

the Plaque presented by Clair Gould, Kent Cricket 

Board’s Director of Operations in the presence of 

Sports and Olympics Minister Rt. Hon Hugh Robertson 

MP one of the Club’s vice-presidents after the annual 

Chairman’s against Captain’s game on 5th August. 

Clair Gould with Hugh and Scott Davenport the Clubs 

Chairmen 

The 2012 season will see the Saturday third entering 

into the Kent league structure, which will hopefully 

prove a success with the help of our colts section, 

guided by a few senior members. 

Minster 

Minster (Sheppey) CC is the only Kent League Club on 

The Isle of Sheppey. Their ground is situated at the top 

of Minster-on-Sea and has superb scenic views over 

the rest of the island and of The Sheppey Crossing. The 

‘Gilbert Hall Facility’ as the ground is known, is small 

and precise but they feel set in picturesque settings. 

With only cricket played at the ground and no winter 

sports the ground rejuvenates completely in the closed 


This year the Club hopes to improve the parking 

facilities and to build a pathway from the car park to 

the clubhouse. They also intend to build new changing 

facilities in the next 2 years. 

In 2011 Minster were relegated again to Division 4. The 

Island side want to consolidate last season and move 

forward! 

Minster will be lead this year again by Martin Hammond 

the Club’s slow right arm swing bowler. He has gained 

lots of experience last season and 2012 will prove a lot 

easier for the new skipper. 

With Minster obtaining ClubMark at the end of 2010 

and their youth set up in good shape the future for the 

Island Club is looking bright! 

Minster wish all their opponents, umpires and fellow 

teams in the Kent League good luck for the 2012 

season!

Nonington 

Nonington Cricket Club is a vibrant village Club with 

the emphasis on bringing younger players from our 

very successful youth policy into League and adult 

cricket. This is our second year for our 1st XI in the 

Kent League, last year they were runners up and gained 

promotion to Division 4. We also had the highest run 

scorer in Kieron Burrett and the leading wicket taker in 

Ross Griggs in Division 5. We also run two other sides 

on Saturdays and they both play in the Regional Feeder 

League. The Club has also recently gained Clubmark 

Status and is working towards Focus status. 

Our lovely ground is situated just off the A2 halfway 

between Canterbury and Dover and we look forward 

to welcoming all the sides in Division 4 to Nonington, 

hopefully on warm sunny days. 

Directions to ground: 

From the A2 take the B2046 towards Aylesham, at

Offham 

Offham Cricket Club sits on a small ridge on the 

northern limit of the small village in the centre of Kent. 

The vista afforded from the pavilion in the summer is 

one of a beautifully manicured smaller ground, with 

the North Downs rising gently in the distance beyond. 

The scene each weekend is evocative of Wordsworth’s 

prose, 

‘…Oft I have looked around 

With joy in Kent’s green vales; but never found 

Myself so satisfied in heart before.’ 

The cricket played through out the summer seeks 

to match the setting, and this has helped the Club to 

grow steadily in recent years. The foundations of this 

expansion is a thriving youth set up which now runs 

teams for all age groups from U11 to U18. Indeed the 

most successful side during the 2011 season was an U21 

side which took the Medway Development League by 

storm, winning every game but the last to take the title. 

Many of these players are now forcing their way into the 

senior Saturday, Kent League sides to great effect 

The 1st XI, due to injuries to senior players, dallied with 

the relegation zone for most of the season, but a late 

surge enabled the team to finish well away from the 

drop zone. Failure to deliver winning scores with the bat 

proved to be the teams undoing on too many occasions, 

and this is an area that the team are rightly determined 

to rectify next season. The bowling fared better, and 

allowed the side to accrue the required points to stave 

off demotion. Overseas player Lennie Watt, in his final 

season, led the way in this department with 44 wickets, 

including 8/62 in a key game against Bapchild as the sun 

was setting on the season. 

The 2nd XI was much more competitive throughout the 

season and with three games to go was destined to be 

promoted. Losses in table topping clashes however led 

to disappointment, but with ten players aged under 18 

in this side the future is undoubtedly bright. The skipper 

Neil Willis led the way with 520 runs, and Club stalwart 

Mark Stoodley (22 wickets) snatched the bowling 

honours from youngster Daniel Blakeburn in the final 

match of the season. 

Finally many thanks go to the team that prepare 

the ground, others who deliver the teas, those that 

volunteer to umpire, and finally our long suffering 

supporters who watch each week from deep square leg. 

Directions, from junction 4 of the M20 follow the A228 

signposted to Tonbridge, at the 3rd roundabout, take 

the 3rd exit signposted West Malling, take the 1st road

OD CUACO 


As usual four teams were entered into the Kent 

League structure, with the 1st and 2nd teams playing 

in the Kent League and the 3rd and 4th playing in Kent 

Regional League (West). We continued to field a team in 

the South London Sunday league while the Sunday 2nd 

XI had friendly fixtures throughout the season. 

Last season was one of contrasts. On the field we 

struggled. Off the field we had one of our most 

successful periods, securing enough funding to provide 

a three lane training net facility. We are indebted to the 

Kent Cricket Board who helped us so much during this 

project. This has been the culmination of several years’ 

hard work by many committee members to ensure 

that the Club initially attained Clubmark and Focus 

Club accreditation and then delivered on the promises 

made to the ECB with respect to colts’ cricket and 

establishing partnerships with local schools. 

As a direct result of these Focus Club commitments, 

we were able successfully to apply to the ECB for 75% 

of the cost of the three bay artificial surfaced nets, the 

balance having been raised through other sources, social 

events and donations. This has also been a long process 

and required many hours of work with a great deal of 

patience. 

This has resulted in an excellent state of the art training 

facility which will be the envy of most of the local 

cricket clubs and gives us every reason to be hopeful 

for the future. Lack of adequate nets in the past has 

reduced the opportunity for players to train effectively; 

we can now make full use of the new nets and enjoy the 

top quality practice conditions. 

In addition to the physical nets, we intend introducing 

a much improved structure to the training and 

practice sessions. One of our innovations will be a 

players’ development plan with a nominated head 

of development so that we can continue to coach 

players beyond the under sixteen age group to provide 

continuity of development as players make their way 

into senior cricket. In fact, we hope that all senior 

members will be able to take advantage of this improved 

approach to practice. 

We believe that regular attendance at team sessions 

will help us all improve our cricket which in turn should 

lead to better performances on the field. This should 

also help with recruitment of new players and to get 


existing players wanting to play more regularly. Indeed, 

we hope the membership will explain the ambitions and 

facilities at the Club to any friends who may want new 

opportunities for their cricket. 

The 1st XI lost another couple of senior players during 

the close season and the remaining players tried hard 

but were ultimately unsuccessful and have now been 

relegated to the fifth division in the Kent league. There 

was little to choose between the teams in the fourth 

division and our bowling was up there with the best but 

our batting let us down too often. 

Losing five senior players in two years has also had 

a knock on effect throughout the Club and several 

members of the 2nd XI squad were probably playing a 

team above where they ought to have been. They have 

been relegated to the fourth division and we hope that 

they will be able to build on the occasional successes 

from this season and mount a promotion campaign next 

year. 

The weather during July and early August was generally 

kind to us and we played four out of five games in 

cricket week and all four on tour. Cricket week is very 

important to the Club not only for the bar takings but 

also for the opportunities it gives players from lower 

teams to play on the main square. The Bath tour was 

a great success, even though we only won one of the 

matches played. 

Old Colfeians 

As the name implies the Old Colfeians Cricket Club, 

based in Lee, SE London, was established by the former 

pupils of Colfe’s School, and although we retain close 

connections with the school, the Old Colfeians Cricket 

Club is now the cricketing arm of the Colfeians Sports 

Club and welcomes members of all abilities and 

backgrounds from the local community. 

At a senior level, we run five Saturday league sides and 

three Sunday sides, two of which participate in Sunday 

leagues for at least part of the season, the third team is 

dedicated to friendly fixtures. 

The Saturday 1st XI harbour lofty ambitions of rising 

up through the Kent divisions. Currently they apply 

their trade in Kent 1st XI Division 3, but under the 

captaincy of Irfan Begg, are gunning to recall the highs 

of yesteryear. The 2nd XI, which for many years been 

trading blows well above their weight, currently reside 

in Kent 2nd XI Division 3, and are also expected to 

be pushing for promotion. The strong emphasis on 

nurturing developing talent is finally starting to pay 

dividends as the latest crop of highly talented individuals 

begins their push for 1st XI selection. 

With some thriving ‘social’ cricket in the 3’s, 4’s and 5’s 

as well as a selection of cricket on a Sunday, the Club 

is well placed to cater for everyone. So whether you’re 

young or old, played at Lords or played indoors, available 

Saturday or Sunday, come and join the revolution at the 

Old Colfeians! 

Old Elthamians 

The Cricket Club enjoyed a competitive season on the 

pitch and continued the remarkable development of a 

flourishing Junior Section which promises great things 

for the future. The Club is awash with OE’s, from Phil 

Raisey and Bob Draycott (making his OECC debut in 

retirement) at the ‘senior’ end, to a host of current 

schoolboys impressing us all and competing in adult 

cricket with apparent ease. 

The 1st XI was captained by Edd Thorogood, also 

Master in charge of Cricket at the school, playing in 

Div III of the Kent League following the two successive 

promotions in 2008 and 2009. They came up against 

strong opposition again this year, ending just 3 points 

away from 6th in 9th place but comfortably clear of 

the relegation battle. Edd (highest score 87, ave 33, 

36 wickets at 17.33) and Dylan de Beer (also school 

coach, HS 129, ave 46) led the way by example in a team 

that had many enforced changes from last year. The 

undoubted highlight was an away win at Linden Park 

who went on to become league champions. 

The 2nds enjoyed a very solid season, finishing a 6th 

of 10 and were led for the first time by Adam Parums, 

backed by the experience of Ian Whalley (ave 42), Paul 

Bell (ave 31) and the youthful exuberance of several 

schoolboy juniors in the form of Arun Tawana, Arun 

Rajendran, Jack Pearson, the Foster brothers and 

Ash Panchasara. Cosmo Adolphe (16 wkts at 14) and 

Priyank Das (31 wkts at 17) bowled the majority of 

overs in a very competitive campaign. 

Unluckiest of the teams were the 3rd XI, who missed 

out on promotion by the few points lost by abandoned 

fixtures. Ably led by the funniest double-act at Foxbury, 

Mark Coles and Bill Long, the latter team featured 

strong batting from these two plus Paul Glenny, Phil 

Alger, Russ Palumbo and Nick Byers and impressive 

bowling figures from Mark Wilson (the Club’s top 

spinner), Bill Long (again), Phil Raisey and Jon Doyle. 

The 4th XI lost captain Ed Heskins to an early injury but 

with Peter Lee at the helm battled to 6th with James 

Worf’s league-topping batting (HS 68, ave 38), a century 

on debut from Ammar Sibtain, and some seasoned 

bowling from Mark Wilson, Nigel Williams and Chris 

Gaywood. 

A successful Sunday Development League campaign was 

also enjoyed under the keen eye of Sam Lockwood. 

The Senior section, however successful and enjoyable 

our cricket may be, would be nothing without the 

strength of the Juniors and the mass of talent that’s 

challenging for senior places. The Juniors run multiple 

and high-performing teams at all age groups, have an

No review of the year would be complete without 

reference to the tragic events of March and the sudden 

death of 15 year old Ben Daniels. Ben died as a result 

of an undiagnosed heart condition having recently 

returned from witnessing the Ashes victory in Australia 

with his father Paul. His memorial service took place 

in the Eltham College Chapel and nearly £11,000 has 

so far been raised in his name for the charity CRY 

(Cardiac Risk in the Young), which screens young sports 

participants for such conditions. www.justgiving.com/

Old Wilsonians 

So what do cricketers do during the winter? Apart, that 

is, from those who star in the likes of ‘Strictly Come 

Dancing’, ‘The X Factor’, ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘I’m a 

celebrity so that’s why you’ve never heard of me.’ 

At Old Wilsonians we spend the winter months 

polishing our trophies, although this year we had to be 

content with just the one – Dave Ellicott-White’s 34 

wickets saw him crowned as the leading wicket taker 

in Division Three - 2nd XI variety, an accolade likely 

to precipitate a lachrymal acceptance speech. The side 

itself finished sixth whilst the 1st XI were fourth and 

thereby failed to make it three promotions in a row, a 

totally unacceptable situation which resulted in the Club 

sacking skipper Jay Yewale. 

Seriously, though, Jay stood down after four incredibly 

successful years and we thank him for his tremendous 

efforts over those 72 games and look forward to him 

concentrating on his batting in 2012, whilst our new 

leader, Suminda Balage Don, will be delighted to know 

that Jay is always there to give him guidance and impart 

his wisdom as vice-skipper. 

The 2nd XI also sees a change at the helm, with Suresh 

Sharma taking over from Jasper Gundry-White who 

has, sadly, been forced to retire as a consequence of a 

niggling shoulder injury, but he intends umpiring this 

summer. 

Which brings us back to what cricketers do during the 

winter months, one of which is attend courses, mainly of 

the umpiring, coaching and scoring variety. 

Committee meetings continue throughout the winter, 

whilst the Fixture secretary ensures that we have games 

to play, thoughts of fund-raising come to the fore and 

we seek alternative grounds to facilitate lower sides - 

the Club fielded a 6th XI for first time in 2011 – so that, 

and before you know it, the New Year has crept up on 

you and indoor Nets are in full swing. 

April brings Clubforce, and some badly needed spit and 

polish to the facilities, and those pre-season friendly 

fixtures to ensure that everyone is fighting fit for the 

start of the league season.

I will not give away too much information about our 

likely stars as other sides in the league will benefit from 

this information. (It is bad enough having to put up with 

the constant ‘phone hacking’ we have to endure these 

days, and although transparency is laudable, admirable 

and to be encouraged, there are limits to the amount of 

information to be put into the public domain.) 

Seem to have strayed somewhat from the initial 

question posed and, as well as all of the other 

things stated, the highlight of our winter activities 

was undoubtedly our participation in our favourite 

pantomime, ‘Snow White and the Seven Ronnie 

Corbetts’, although there was a little poetic licence 

which saw our President make a guest appearance as 

Widow Twankey and the Chairman as a somewhat 

undignified back end of a horse. 

But we did remain true to the original idea, which 

came to a climax when one of the vertically challenged 

eponymous stars of this extravaganza sat in a chair, 

which was intentionally far too large for him, and 

expostulated thus: 

“So what is this Club they call Old Wilsonians, then, 

and are they anything to do with former members of 

Harold Wilson’s government. I only ask because all of 

them seem to be called Forbes, with the occasional 

Pilgrim and Kendrick thrown in. 

What’s that I hear you say? 

You’ll have to speak up as you are talking over my head. 

Well; obviously. I have to stand on tip toes to see the 

spots in front of my eyes. 

Oh; I see – their opening bowler is called Wilson and he 

is getting on a bit. Cannot be that simple, surely 

The school was formed in 1615 by Edward Wilson and 

the side is comprised of former members of the school 

Are there are any of the original members of the school 

still playing; apart from Forbes, Pilgrim and Kendrick of 

course? 

The scorer is very long in the tooth but scorers don’t 

count, as anyone involved with the league must know 

by now, even to the extent that most sides don’t 

even supply one, despite the fact that this is in strict 

contravention of the laws of the game and the league. 

(Sorry – seem to have strayed a bit; again; but the above 

is certainly true) 

So how many members of the side actually went to the 

school? 

Sadly not many and, equally sadly, this is a common 

trend and very few Old Boys sides now field truly 

representative sides. 

Must confess I’m a bit shocked by that revelation. You’ll 

be telling me next that some of the Chelsea football 

team were not actually born in Chelsea. 


But to return to Simon Wilson, the aforesaid opening 

bowler of Old Wilsonians. A quick rummage through his 

kit bag will discover a copy of a book entitled ‘How to 

be a prolific opening bowler’, albeit unwrapped, and a 

photograph of him in his school uniform which proves 

that he did, indeed, go to Wilson’s. 

(Incidentally, Simon is also our regular No.11 batsman 

but “only because I do not like walking off the field of 

play on my own”) 

Was he related to Edward Wilson? 

I trust you are not suggesting nepotism! 

Isn’t that a type of ice-cream? 

Of course not, and treating the second question with 

the contempt it deserves, although it is true that 

the rules of the Club clearly state that “every side 

representing Old Wilsonians must contain at least one 

player by the name of Wilson” 

So, where do the rest of the team come from? 

Well, quite a few have graduated through our budding 

colts section, whilst at least four of them came from a 

side called ‘Four Cs’ which, sadly, had to close. 

So they could be called ‘Honorary Old Wilsonians’? 

You could say that. 

I just have. 

Just a minute; this is supposed to be a monologue and 

you keep interrupting. I think it’s best if we get back to 

the pantomime. 

Oh no we shouldn’t. 

Oh yes we should – ad nauseam. 

Snow White was in a quandary. She had so much 

cleaning to do but tonight was the night of the grand 

ball, which she had been looking forward to all week. 

Her sisters, who were not fair of face, had already 

left and......... just (another) minute, that’s another 

pantomime. Think you should stick to cricket. This 

is, after all, supposed to be an entry for the League 

handbook. 

Orpington 

2011 was an extremely successful season for Orpington 

CC on and off the field. 

After struggling for long periods in the 2010 season, for 

our 1st XI to win KL Div 2 by going the whole season 

unbeaten, was a superb achievement. Our batsman 

consistently put big scores on the board when batting 

first or successfully overcame our opponent’s total 

when chasing. Our bowlers performed consistently 

throughout and were supported by some much 

improved fielding including some tremendous catches. 

All in all a winning combination which was followed by 

one decent party! 

Our 2nd XI, after coming so close to promotion in 2010 

enjoyed a difficult season, but importantly secured safety 

on the last day. Our 3rd XI won their KRCL division, 

the first time we have won a trophy at that level. 

Our 4th XI came up just short in their KRCL division, 

but their second place ensured that they were also 

promoted. Away from league cricket, the strength of 

our playing membership allowed us to run a Saturday 

5th XI for most of the season and a 6th XI for a handful 

of games. 

Whilst Sunday cricket saw a welcome return to 

recreational fixtures, an early competitive highlight of 

the season saw a successful CCC cup-run chase of 

286 runs from 45 overs against Essex Premier League 

Champions Brentwood. 

Off the field our Club continues to take great strides. 

We are thankful and ever mindful that we have the use 

of two squares at our Orpington base, something which 

has been guaranteed through until 2035 after the signing 

of a new long term contract with our landlords. We are 

committed to doing all that we can to ensure that the 

facility enjoyed by our expanding junior, senior and lady 

playing membership is truly the best that we can offer. 

The most recent example of this was our successful 

grant application to the ECB for 75% of the cost of a 

new 4-lane artificial net facility. I am delighted to report 

that this facility has now been built and will therefore be 

in full operation for the benefit of our members for the 

coming season, a truly tremendous development. 2011 

also continued to see our squares being maintained by 

external contractors for the second full season. 

The improvement in the wickets we can now provide 

was shown by our facility being voted the best in KL Div 

2 by the neutral umpires that oversaw our home 1st XI 

league matches. 

2011 saw our junior section continuing to flourish. We 

owe a huge debt of gratitude to the unpaid assistance 

that we receive from a large number of committed Club 

coaches. We realise that the colts are our future and we 

aim to further develop this section of the Club during 

2012. We will continue to provide financial support for 

the development of specialist and tailored coaching, the 

purchase of equipment and perhaps most importantly of 

all by continuing to fund would-be coaches through the 

necessary coaching qualifications. 

Socially, as has always been the way with our Club, 

we ran a number of successful events in 2011. We 

are pleased to report that the informal socialising and 

bonding of the members was as good last season as it 

has been for a number of years.

In addition to the usual quiz and race nights, a golf day, 

Annual Dinner Dance and a week’s tour to Leeds, our 

big fundraiser for the year was an inaugural auction 

night which was held in conjunction with our end of 

season Colts Presentation Evening. 

Thanks to a lot of hard work from a large number of 

Members and through the kind support of a number of 

local businesses and individual donors, we made over 

£6,000 profit on what was a great night. Well done to 

all concerned! 

Finally, I am pleased to report that we were successful 

in renewing our Clubmark and Focus Club status during 

2011 – thanks to the long and hard work put in to 

achieve this by those concerned. For details of this and 

all things O.C.C, please feel free to visit our web site

RACS 

The Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society Cricket Club 

dates back to 1920, when based at Churchmanor Way in 

Plumstead. Most of our fellow cricketers will recall our 

days at Footscray Road in New Eltham where we played 

from 1947 to 1998. We were forced to move away 

from our long term home, and since 1999, have played 

at Metrogas Sports Club in Avery Hill Road. 

The Club was one of the founding members of the 

Kent Metropolitan Cricket League, winning the First XI 

Division at the first time of asking. We joined the North 

Kent Cricket League in 1989, going on to win the First 

XI title in three successive seasons. 1993 brought an 

invitation to join the South Thames Cricket League and, 

again, we lifted the 1st XI title at the first time of asking. 

1996 heralded the restructuring of league cricket in 

Kent and winning parallel League B, brought about 

promotion to the Kent Premier Division. 

In recent seasons, however, we have seen ourselves 

slip down through the Divisions. Our 1st XI began the 

2011 season in the Premier Division of the Kent Feeder 

League, with the 2nd XI in the Kent League Division 4. 

Congratulations then to the 1st XI for winning the 

Regional Premier League and thereby returning to 

the Kent League proper. The Club acknowledges the 

contribution made by all members of the team and 

especially by the captain Shane Taylor, and in his absence 

John Ardley. Shane Taylor’s selfless captaincy for the last 

three years played an important part in finally achieving 

this goal. 

During the season our bowling attack had been 

formidable with Matt Syrett, and our latest recruit Steve 

Lawrence providing a combination of pace and accuracy. 

With the ‘spin twins’ in Paul Albrecht and John Darling, 

and Chris Webb coming in where necessary, we proved 

worthy winners, with Paul Albrecht also deservedly 

winning the Division’s bowling award. 

92 


The batting was similarly formidable with the maturing 

of the younger players Matt Syrett, Harry Purbrick and 

Rob Donnelly, with David Clark also having a good 

season. The fielding and catching was also excellent 

throughout the season giving us a head start in most 

games. 

Having achieved promotion to Reserve Division 4 in 

2010, the 2nd XI had a tough season in the stronger 

Division. However, despite having lost most of their 

games, and struggling for a side most weeks, Paul Lane’s 

team showed guts and perseverance in keeping going 

which proved a vital factor in the successful promotion 

of the 1st XI. Unfortunately, due to relocation to 

Yorkshire, we will not have captain Paul Lane with us 

this year. The reins will be taken over by Chris Webb 

who will provide a very experienced leadership. 

Encouragingly, the introduction of younger players 

such as George and Archie Webb and Tyler Ardley will 

undoubtedly bear fruit in the future. 

The Sunday XI having left the South London League, had 

a far more enjoyable season and with a good fixture 

list won eight games, the most notable being the defeat 

of Beckenham, who had included five of their Saturday 

1st XI. Whilst a little short of bowling our batting 

was impressive with Matt Syrett, Harry Purbrick, Rob 

Donnelly and Billy Senington all scoring centuries. It 

was Billy’s first for the Club! 

The tour to Brighton went very well with everyone 

enjoying both the cricket and the social events. We 

played three matches, winning two and losing one. It is 

hoped to tour the Bournemouth area next season. 

We are excited about the challenges that the 2012 

season will bring, and look forward to meeting them 

head on. Both Saturday sides hope to build on last 

year’s performances, and will be working hard in the 

nets to prepare. We were very pleased with the overall 

outcome of 2011 and look forward to continuing with 

success through the 2012 season. 

Rainham 

Here we go again, another season beckons. 2011 

was notable at Rainham for the ever improving decks 

that are surely now among the best around. This was 

reflected in the many scores of 300 plus achieved at 

Rainham during the season. Not such great times for 

visiting bowlers, or indeed our own bowlers, which 

makes batting first wins hard to come by at home, but 

that’s one of the wonderful challenges of our beautiful 

game. 

Unfortunately 2011 was also notable for the loss of two 

valued members. Stalwart scorer and fanatical Kent 

CCC supporter Brian Jeffkins passed away, followed 

by the sudden loss of Tim Mason, 2nd XI umpire and 

Club legend. Permanent tributes will be placed on the 

ground for next season, they are both sadly missed by 

all at RCC. 


The 1st XI had a good year again finishing fourth, and 

again not far off promotion………maybe this year. 

More notable contributions by young players hopefully 

means that we will see more progression. 

The 2nd XI ended up 7th in Division 3 which again was 

a fairly tight affair all season, with some good results and 

some not so good, but in fact only losing two games all 

season, fewer than anyone else. It’s those illusive batting 

first wins that make all the difference. 

2011 Honours Board: 

SNKCL Centuries for – Paul Swaine (x2), John 

Dangerfield and James Reeves 

Non KCL Centuries – Alex Peters (aged 15 with 181 

not out, which is a Club record!), Aaron Hawkins, John 

Prince, Jim Austin and Andy Parkinson. 

SNKCL Michelle Pfieffers for – Matt Newton. 

Non KCL Michelles for – George Haver and Dan Mason 

In other cricket, the Colts section had another superb 

season in League and Cup winning two trophies and 

finishing runners up in four other competitions. As 

ever, much thanks to all of the volunteers coaches and 

helpers for maintaining one of the leading colts set ups 

in the county. 

As mentioned above, the playing surface at Rainham 

continues to improve thanks to the expertise hired in 

last year. On going maintenance now of course is vital 

and for that thanks go to our volunteer ground crew 

who give up their valuable time to help out with ground 

maintenance and pitch preparation. Excellent work. 

Last year I reported plans to go on tour in 2011, well 

we did, and it all went splendidly with all that embarked 

on the trip returning almost unmolested and without 

any pending court appearances. Can’t wait for the 

next one. Other social news is that we sent a large 

delegation to Lord’s for the Cross Arrows Dinner 

held in the Long Room. Splendid evening and thanks 

to our hard working Treasurer for administering the 

arrangements. 

Well there we go. We look forward to welcoming you 

all again to sunny Rainham and hope to enjoy a beverage 

with you in the balmy days of summer. 

Good luck one and all. 

Oh, and by the way, as in previous years we would like 

to thank Britain’s oldest brewer for their continued 

support, without whom we would all be just a little bit 

sadder. 

Rodmersham 

For the third successive season, Rodmersham’s 1st XI 

finished fifth in Division 4. 

After a disappointing 2010 which promised so much, 

the 2011 campaign got off to a steady start. In what 

for a long time was a tight division, the 1st XI were well 

placed for a genuine promotion push after eight games 

only to then lose successive matches to (at that stage) 

the bottom three teams which, in effect, ended all hopes 

of Division 3 cricket in 2012. The final six matches 

produced three wins, three defeats and a losing draw. 

The season wasn’t without its highlights, of course. 

Dan Ray joined from Sheldwich and took the batting 

honours with 515 runs including a couple of fifties and 

an excellent, unbeaten 115 against Bexleyheath. Dan 

offers a great deal of experience and quality in the field 

as well as with the bat. Michael Jones weighed in with 

477 runs (invariably made in quick time) and five other 

batters exceeded 220 runs during the season. 

With the ball, Darren Nokes lead the attack with 30 

wickets but, whilst the likes of Ben Sanders, Dylan 

Emmett, Jack Bayford and Matt Jewiss worked tirelessly 

and often without a great deal of luck, no other bowler 

managed more than 16 wickets in support. 

Nevertheless, as what remains a predominantly young 

1st XI side looks forward to the new campaign, they do 

so with typical optimism. 

The 2nd XI ended their season in a very creditable 

third place, 25 points off Chestfield in second but well 

clear of Bexleyheath in fourth. The season got off to a 

disappointing start with three defeats batting second - 

despite passing 200 on each occasion - and far too many 

extras conceded (149 in total including 91 in wides and 

no balls!). It closed with a defeat, an incomplete game 

and an abandonment against the bottom three sides 

just when victories might have secured promotion. 

In between, however, they recorded eight excellent 

victories - five of them batting first - and only two 

defeats with the remaining two matches victims of the 

weather. 

Steve Pumfrett lead the way with the bat ending the 

season on 434 runs and might have taken the divisional 

award but for a poor final six weeks. Skipper Kevin 

Beacon passed 300 and five others 200 runs for the 

season. The batting performance of the campaign, 

however, was unquestionably Liam Ansley’s unbeaten 

114 at Chislehurst in the opening match when the 

15 year old evoked memories of his late father, Jim, in 

compiling a quite superb maiden century. 

Chris Ansley - in the process of converting from a 

seamer to a very competent off-spinner - and Sam 

Blackwell shared most of the overs and 53 wickets, 

each recording two ‘five-fers’ into the bargain. They 

were excellently supported by, in the main, Naj Hashimi, 

Michael Willis and Daniel Kemp who bagged 43 wickets 

collectively.

With one or two players likely to be available more 

frequently in 2012 and talented younger players coming 

through the Colts, there’s certainly hope amongst the 

2nd XI that a genuine and sustained promotion push 

could be on the cards. That said, as always, unavailability 

at key times will no doubt play its part! 

The Sunday side experienced a difficult time of it 

during 2011. All bar the early season Friendlies had 

to be cancelled due to lack of players which also had 

an impact on the Kent Village League campaign when, 

sadly, three matches had to be conceded. Of the seven 

games played, four ended in comfortable victories but 

three in crushing defeats. The new season, however, 

sees a new skipper in Ben Sanders and in all probability 

renewed enthusiasm within the Club. We are confident 

that 2012 will see a turnaround in Sunday fortunes and 

performances. 

As we say every year, the Colts - Under 11’s, 13’s and 

15’s - were a credit to the Club, themselves, their 

parents and their coaches, never failing to perform to 

their best. The Club now has 12 qualified coaches, the 

healthiest position ever known, which will stand us in 

good stead during 2012 and beyond. 

As we also say each year, those who have the pleasure 

of visiting us at Bottles Lane during the coming summer 

months can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome, 

great wickets, a beautifully maintained outfield and 

excellent teas! We look forward to seeing old friends as 

well as one or two new faces during 2012. 

Directions: Take the A2 through Sittingbourne towards 

Faversham and Canterbury. At the Bapchild Fruit 

Stall, opposite the Fox & Goose Pub, turn right into 

School Lane. Stay on this road, past Bapchild Church 

and Rodmersham Church following the signs to 

Rodmersham Green. Turn left at The Fruiterers Pub 

onto Bottles Lane, the ground being on your right 

just around the corner from the squash Club. SatNav 

reference ME9 0PR. 

Sandwich Town 

2011 proved to be another successful year for STCC in 

many ways, our five league XI’s all performing strongly 

and on three Saturdays a 6th XI was fielded. This is the 

first time the Club has put out six sides on one day. 

Such strength in depth is a sign of the health of the 

Club, though the accompanying hard work of captains, 

umpires, scorers and tea ladies to pull it all off is not to 

be under estimated. 

The 1st XI gave a good account of themselves, finishing 

third without ever seriously threatening promotion to 

the Premier League. The batting was dominated by two 

players. Overseas player Vishy Singh returned and scored 

heavily again, making over 600 league runs even though 

he failed to get off the mark in his last three knocks. 

Stuart Smith also made over 600 runs, which unusually 

included hundreds in both fixtures versus Whitstable 

and that following a pre season 150 against them in a 

friendly. It was pleasing to see the youngsters chipping 

94 


in as well. Lawrence Hills scored his maiden league ton, 

Zack Fagg made useful runs and the young Ryan Davies 

showed in two nerveless match winning innings that 

class shows whatever age you are. On the bowling front 

it was a wicket taking shootout between the old boys 

Alan Amos and Craig Spanton, which would have gone 

to the wire but for an injury break for Spanton who 

finished with 34 scalps. 

Captain Matt van Poppell and seamer Tom Dilnot Smith 

contributed strongly, but all were trumped by the wily 

veteran Amos who bagged a league best 48 wickets 

and seems to improve with each passing season. To the 

delight of all at STCC Alan went on to be named Kent 

League cricketer of the year at the league dinner, a 

wonderful honour for a great servant of our Club. 

The 2nd XI returned to Premier League cricket and 

took some time to find their feet. Winless and bottom 

after six games they turned things round in great style. 

Following a great mid season run they went on to finish 

third and exceeded almost all expectations. 

The run making was shared around, Dave Scoggins 

scoring heavily despite limited appearances whilst 

skipper Kevin Beaumont, batting suspiciously low in the 

order, made runs when needed. It was great to see 14 

year old Ryan Davies make three 50’s while opening the 

batting, though equally pleasing were the performances 

of several youngsters drafted in towards the end of the 

summer. 

A 50 on debut by Alex Smith and five fours from Ben 

Chapman and Will Thurgate all showed that they have 

what it takes to progress to the 1st XI in years to come. 

The evergrey Colin Aldred took the bowling honours 

with 28 wickets while Liam Evans and John Wickham 

also contributed well. Sadly 2011 was captain Kevin 

Beaumont’s final season with the Club. He like several 

other STCC members was a casualty of the closure of 

Pfizers, which has cast a shadow over the whole area, 

our Club included. Kevin and his wife Julie have together 

played a huge role in the clubs recent development, 

encompassing captaincy of several sides, being Club 

secretary and management of the clubs thriving junior 

section to name but a few. Their son Michael and 

daughter Tamsin, who has represented England Ladies, 

have also played their part for STCC. All will be sorely 

missed. 

Our 3rd XI, led by Andy Chapman, maintained their 

status in the Kent Regional League Championship East 

with a fourth placed finish. The sides standard blueprint 

is one of youth and experience, indeed often involving 

fathers and sons. Surprisingly very few fallouts were 

reported. Mark Baldock was the leading run scorer in a 

season where nine different batsmen made 50 or more 

in an innings. Similarly the bowling honours were well 

spread, Chris Smith the leading wicket taker with 25 

victims. 


The 4th XI had a great season, winning 14 of 15 

completed matches and taking the Regional League 

East 2B title with games to spare. Much credit must go 

Matt Burgess who in his first season as captain led the 

side by example with bat and ball. A strong batting line 

up proved too powerful for most opponents as the 

experienced Pauls’, Goatham and Caldwell averaged 

over 50 while the youngsters Alex Smith and Olly 

Collins made runs a plenty. Collins was also joint leading 

wicket taker in a promising first season at the Club. 

For the first time STCC fielded a 5th XI in the Kent 

Regional League. Captain Steve Burgess took the helm, 

always getting a side out when it looked impossible and 

the 5th’s finished a creditable fourth, often sending out a 

team of the very young and the very experienced. Stuart 

Key led the way with the bat, though others might have 

challenged had Steve’s son Matt not stolen every player 

who made a score to the 4th XI the next week. Several 

Club juniors made their league debuts with the 5th XI 

and much promise for the future was glimpsed. 

Our Sunday sides performed consistently well again 

though availability and interest in Sunday cricket 

continues to be a challenge. The Sunday 1st XI won the 

East Kent League for the third year running, while the 

2nd XI enjoyed a season of mostly local friendlies. The 

Tom Dearman trophy was retained with a resounding 

win over local rivals Broadstairs, thus avenging an earlier 

defeat in the AKCC Thanet Knockout 20/20. Midweek 

cricket remains well supported with an eclectic mix of 

opposition visiting the Butts. A highlight of this or any 

other summer came during the midweek friendly versus 

Bewdley when Ben Chapman took all ten wickets, 

becoming the fourth known player to perform the feat 

for STCC. At the age of 15 he is by far the youngest to 

have done this and will forever more be known to us 

as Ben10. 

Looking forward to 2012 STCC remain confident of 

offering a friendly welcome and competitive cricket to 

all who visit our grounds. We hope for long sunny days, 

the bar fully stocked and our sage supporters, aka the 

old farts, in their rightful place on the pavilion veranda 

offering words of wisdom on all and sundry as ever. 

Sevenoaks Vine 

2011 was a very successful season for SVCC with some 

terrific individual and team performances. 

The 1st XI achieved its objective of finishing in the 

top half of the table, and went in to the final game of 

the season with a potential second place in sight. Karl 

Pearson’s first season in charge was therefore hugely 

satisfactory and he will be focused on improving on 

their table position this year. The 2nd XI, under David 

Harkin’s leadership, also achieved it’s objective of being 

promoted back to the top flight and played some 

outstanding cricket along the way. And last but not least, 

our 3rd XI completed a hat-trick of objectives being 

met by also securing promotion. 

Outside the leagues, we continued our tradition 

of holding a Cricket Week that involved our local 

community and encouraged participation in the Club. 

The two highlights of the week being our victory on 

the Clarke Trophy final, held each year on the Vine, and 

our ‘Kent Legends’ event where ex-Kent cricketers Asif 

Iqbal, Chris Tavare, Chris Cowdrey and David Fulton 

joined our guests for lunch and took questions from 

the floor. 

We also look forward to continuing to develop our 

successful veteran side, Old Oaks, as well as our Sunday 

development side and our growing junior’s section. 

Whilst we pride ourselves on our team philosophy at 

SVCC, we would like to highlight one individual, Lorne 

Burns, who was recognised as the Kent League young 

player of the year. 

SVCC is also proud to have been selected to become an 

area Focus Club to add to our ClubMark accreditation. 

Sibton Park 

Sibton Park was the third Club in Kent to achieve 

Clubmark and also has Focus Club status. It runs 

numerous junior cricket teams both for boys and girls in 

local leagues and since 2008 has had a ladies team. 

2011 was a historic year for the Club, with the 1st XI 

playing in the Premier League for the first time in the 

Club’s history – a tremendous effort for a local village 

side. Steven Rowe finished as the Premier League’s top 

bowler with 31 wickets. 

Despite a disappointing season in all, there were many 

achievements made by its players in different areas, and 

having had a taste of the Premier League, all the players 

will be keen to make as swift a return as possible. 

The 2nd XI had a less successful season, more so than 

in the past few years, seeming to battle most weeks 

but also with some excellent wins and performances, 

eventually finishing mid table. A good effort all round 

and congratulations and thanks must go to the skippers 

and coaching staff for the on field successes. 

Sibton Park Cricket Club was formed in 1903, under 

the patronage of Captain John Howard, to play cricket 

regularly. Captain Howard bought Sibton Park in 

1897. He was the owner of Chartham Paper Mill and a 

Member of Parliament. 

There are records of matches being played on this 

ground from the 1880’s. This is likely to have been 

under the patronage of previous owners, as a private 

cricket ground to the house. 

Cricket was played regularly, except for the two 

World Wars, and many fixtures were an occasion for 

the village. During the 1920’s attendance would be 

large and colourful with the erection of marquees and 

everyone turning out in their finery! This culminated in 

Cricket Week, which was always a major event on the 

Club’s calendar.

The standard of cricket has always been reasonably high, 

and Sibton Park was always near the top when it joined 

the East Kent League, shortly after it was formed. The 

Second XI won its league on several occasions. 

The Club has extensive social membership. Excellent 

clubhouse facilities and stages a range of social events 

throughout the year. 


From J11 of the M20, you can follow the signs for 

Lyminge which will lead you into the south end of 

the village, or take the exit from the slip roundabout 

signposted Canterbury (B2065) and follow this road for 

2 miles to the crest of a steep hill. At this point take 

the right fork, signposted Lyminge, turn left 250 yards 

later, also signposted Lyminge and follow the road, which 

becomes Brady Road, to its junction with Canterbury 

Road then turn left down Longage Hill. 

Sidcup 

Season 2011 started full of optimism, on the back of our 

four promotions last time out. A tough act to follow and 

the Club performed admirably with two promotions 

this time for the 2nd XI and 4th XI, with the 3rd XI 

missing out by just one point. We had acquired a few 

new members and although general playing standards 

were at least as good, it was soon evident that the 1st 

XI may be a player or two light but our strong Colts 

section led by Head Coach John Wilson ensured that 

many sides contained a talented youthful element. The 

Colts section goes from strength to strength with our 

best season ever, including two League titles. 

Only four league wins in KCL Div 3 would ultimately 

condemn the 1st XI to relegation, but it wasn’t through 

lack of trying, with some heroic batting on occasion. 

Nobody present will forget how close they came to 

beating eventual league winners Linden Park, in what 

became a day/night game, but without the lights! They 

finished 4 runs short, chasing 255. Two batsman stood 

out during the season, Phil Robinson with 486 runs and 

Ian Bryce with 464, the latter including two centuries. 

James Dawes topped the wicket-takers with 32. There 

were other near misses and might-have-beens, but they 

are confident of bouncing straight back out of Div 4 

next year. 

The 2nd XI had a bit of a rollercoaster season in KCL 

Division 3, mixing great performances with awful ones! 

A good start was the important factor, together with 

their knack of winning when they really had to, to clinch 

2nd spot for the second year running (again behind 

Linden Park)! The fact that 31 players turned out for 

them is quite astonishing that high up the Club and 

shows the number of players who are pushing their 

way up. Mickey Bennett gave up the captaincy halfway 

through the season due to other commitments, but Neil 

Bastin took over to good effect, getting the side into 

Div 2! Top run-scorer was John Olufawo with 438 with 

strong support provided by Roshan Gedara and Henry 

Walker, both with 3 fifties. 

96 


The 3rd XI had an excellent season in KRCL 

1A-Metropolitan, finishing third, just one point behind 

the runners up. Some good cricket was played all 

season, with some outstanding individual performances 

on occasion. I would think promotion is a realistic 

possibility next season, but they will have to win the 

league to achieve that. It was a tale of two Alex’s with 

the bat Alex Platt (373) and Alex Tosh (265) leading the 

runs. 

The 5th’s (our 4th XI!) were dragged by the scruff of 

the neck by skipper Andy Stent into runners up spot in 

KRCL 1C-South Thames! A never-say-die attitude and 

some great individual and team performances saw this 

young-ish team finish level on points with Orpington, 

but come second on games won! The top league wickettaker 

was our very own Pete Newman with 32 and the 

batting was brisk with the talented Vikram Sharda the 

highest run-scorer. 

The 4th’s had a comfortable season in KRCL 2C-South 

Thames, finishing fifth, with some very enjoyable, 

sporting and good cricket played on occasion. Some 

very talented youngsters have made a good start in 

league cricket, with some scintillating performances. The 

week was often spent scratching round for players, but 

the team never went into a game short! 

The Sunday Development League side, captained by Mat 

Kilbey, were in Division 1 for the first time, against the 

big boys of Kent League cricket. They may have had a 

bit of a shock, but they did not let themselves down, 

finishing mid-table and surprising oppositions! 

The Sunday 2nd’s became more of a development side 

this year, with new skipper Bob Peirce pursuing a youth 

policy. A lot of the lads playing lower league cricket on 

Saturdays were involved in the side and some Colts 

were introduced to adult cricket before playing in the 

leagues. That also saved too much running around for 

any senior players! 

A new team took to the field this season – the Sunday 

Ad Hocs – who played two and a bit games! The bit 

was rained off, but not before the youngest partnership 

in Sidcup history had been at the wicket! Miles Clifford 

and Oliver Robinson, with less than 26 years between 

them!! Of the other two games, one was won, the 

other lost and those who played all had a fantastic time. 

Proper cricket!! 

The Menorca Tour again took place in April, with the 

team wining 3 out of 3. Everyone had a good time, 

as always! The Tour was arranged so efficiently by Ray 

Hole, again! Thanks to him for making sure we keep this 

recent tradition going. 

Cricket Week in July was successful again, with some 

magnificent food served by Bite-Me Catering! What an 

acquisition they are! The big games against the Nomads 

and Past Sidcup were really good, both going to the very 

end! The weather was kind too, which was not expected 

after the previous weeks’ weather! 


Unfortunately, the MCC game in June had been washed 

out after only a few overs, but some spontaneous 

brilliance and sportsmanship, resulted in the inaugural 

Sidcup CC v MCC Pool Competition. Won on the black 

in the last game, having been 4-1 down with 4 to play, by 

those pool maestros, Messrs Smith and Buchan! Thanks 

to all those who stayed for that, particularly James Barr, 

MCC captain, and the other MCC players who could so 

easily have gone home. It is also good to see that our 

younger players have not been wasting their time in the 

bar! 

The John Gough Memorial Trophy game at Bexley on 

August BH was won by Sidcup for the second year 

running in an excellent match, watched by a vast 

number of Sidcup supporters! Both clubs have now 

won three times. 

Top performers of the Club in 2011 were: 

Leading run-scorer was Christian Stent, with a massive 

1584 runs in adult and Colts cricket, including 9 fifties 

and a century. Also over 1000 runs for the season were 

Henry Walker (9 fifties and 2 centuries) and Casey 

Jerrom (6 fifties) both of whom are also Colts. All three 

have represented the Saturday 1st XI and have looked 

comfortable at this level. 

Topping the bowling was Brian Smith with 66 wickets 

at an average of just 15. Second was Roger Shaddock 

with 45 wickets closely followed by Daniel Seaman 

with 42 and Vikram Sharda with 41. The best bowling 

performance was tied by youth and experience! Toby 

Smith (aged 14) collected 6 for 18 versus Hartley 

Country Club in a league match and Pete Newman (a 

bit older) snatched 6 for 18 versus Old Wilsonians, also 

in a league fixture. 

Top fielder was Christian Stent with 28 catches and 3 

run outs followed by Casey Jerrom with 21 and 3 run 

outs. 

Off the field, massive thanks go to Tania and Vanessa of 

Wickets, our main sponsors, who do so much for us as 

a Club and individuals. Also to Tania, herself, for being a 

regular bus driver for so many and helping us out with 

so much off-field stuff and scoring for various teams. 

And the new bats!! 

Mercedes-Benz again sponsored our Academy, which is 

starting to show great results, with a number of Colts 

from it starring high up in adult cricket. Just look at the 

stats! 

In the Colts section the Under 13A’s won the North 

Kent Junior League Div 1 title and the Under 13B’s won 

Div 3(SE). The Under 15B’s were runners up in Under 

15 Division 4. This is the best season ever for the Colts 

and many have played in adult cricket. The recently 

announced Kent Cricket Club Colts winter squads 

include the names of 6 boys and girls from Sidcup 

Cricket Club. This is another first for the Club and a 

great achievement. 

Alan McCawley expanded the girls section, with the help 

of a very successful Open Day in May. Hopefully this 

trend will continue, so in time, we could have an adult 

ladies section. We have some very useful players, who 

are improving all the time and working hard at their 

game. Sakshi Sharda became the second lady to play 

adult men’s cricket for us and looks a real prospect. 

“Thank you” sounds inadequate for all the work done 

by the coaches and managers and others. I can’t 

mention them all, but led by John Wilson, Andy Stent, 

Jim Waterhouse, Adrian Crust, Mike Buchan and Alan 

McCawley, they are the envy of all local clubs! As are 

our Colts themselves!! 

I will mention and thank John Regan, who (amongst 

other things) has been responsible for all the Jack 

Petchey funding we get. Not an easy administrative task, 

but so important to us. 

There will be some changes behind the scenes for 

2012; Roger Shaddock has stepped down as Secretary, 

replaced by myself and Brian Smith stepping down 

from all duties, except Fixture Secretary and the Three 

Amigos’ Quiz Nights. On behalf of the Club I would like 

to take this opportunity to thank Roger and Brian for 

their immense support over the last few years. 

We couldn’t function without our fantastic umpires and 

scorers, so a huge thank you to all of you, for giving us 

your time and expertise. 

And a big thank you to Jon Newton, who continues to 

provide “samples” to keep our raffle prize cellar well 

stocked! And indeed to everyone who provides prizes 

throughout the year. 

Thanks to Adam Bale, who lets us use his bowling 

machine! We hope your knee problems are a thing of 

the past, Adam, and look forward to seeing you on the 

field of play. 

Ray and Julie Hole also deserve a massive mention for 

their work on the BBQ again, raising many hundreds of 

pounds for the Club. Thanks to all those who sampled 

the delights! 

Ray has also done a lot of work behind the scenes, 

of which many will not be aware. In addition, he and 

Chairman Hugh Beresford-Webb have between them 

got the administration sorted out so that our new nets, 

courtesy of a 75% ECB grant, have been constructed 

in early October! This is the culmination of three 

years hard labour and will give this Club a fantastic 

practice facility to be used by all our players. It gives 

John Wilson and the team of coaches an even better 

chance of getting the best from the young boys and girls 

progressing at the Club. It should also help to attract 

new players. A big thank you to Hugh and Ray for their 

hard work. 

So, a great note on which to end this report. The future 

is looking rosy at SCC.

St Lawrence & Highland Court 

We enjoyed mixed fortunes in 2011 as a Club, on the 

one hand our Ladies won promotion from the Women’s 

Cricket Southern League Div 2 and enjoyed a hugely 

successful season as did our many Colts sides ( Both 

Girls and Boys ). On the other hand our 1st and 2nd 

XI Men’s sides struggled. The loss of our top three 

batters from our 2010 side proved more difficult to deal 

with than first thought and this together with “patchy” 

availability of 1st and 2nd XI players meant that 2011 

was a difficult season. Our 3rd XI were challenging for 

promotions at the halfway point in the season but the 

availability problems mentioned earlier resulted in their 

challenge falling away in the second half of the year. 

As a truly amateur Club we offer and provide cricket 

to both sexes covering of all abilities from the ages of 6 

to 60 and in 2012 we are looking to strengthen our ties 

with local schools and the community at large. Plans are 

in their infancy but we aim to replace and enlarge our 

changing facilities to accommodate both our pitches. 

This is an ambitious project which, once completed, will 

materially enhance our facilities. 

The writer would like to thank the contribution made 

by all at the Club who work tirelessly behind the scenes 

to make our Club the success it is, whilst they are too 

numerous to mention here we are always looking for 

more help! 

We look forward to the 2012 season and hope that the 

weather will be kind to us all, we also look forward to 

welcoming our visitors to our unique and magnificent 

ground. 

Tenterden 

It was always going to be a difficult season with both 

sides securing promotion in 2010 to Division 1. In 

the end it was a successful season for the Club with 

both sides retaining Division 1 status that we would 

have accepted at the outset. Particular mention has to 

be made of the second eleven under the captaincy of 

Brad Hobbs and without the aid of an overseas player, 

they challenged for promotion to the Premier Division 

defeating the eventual winners along the way to finish in 

third spot - a tremendous achievement of which all can 

be proud. 

Tim Chanda, skipper Andy Crawford and new signing 

Kyle McAlister led the run scoring for the first team 

with Mark Baker and Tim Chanda leading the wicket 

takers. For the seconds Rob Featherstone just missed 

out on retaining the divisional batting cup with the 

Brann brothers being the next highest run scorers. Mark 

Brann and James Curteis led the wicket takers. 

With groundsman Bill Lacey incapacitated as result of a 

knee operation, the Club was indebted to Fred Pearman 

for stepping in to fill a very sizeable pair of shoes in 

every sense. 

98 


The youth team continued their progress under the 

guidance of Gordon Potter and his team of coaches and 

we hope to see the fruit of their labours in the coming 

season(s). 

Long standing Chairman Alastair Hudd stands down 

owing to work commitments, we wish him well for 

the future and know that he will continue to remain in 

touch with the Club. His tenure has seen the Club rise 

through the structure of the Kent League and we feel 

confident that he leaves the Club in a position to build 

on the solid foundation that he has put in place. 

The Mote 

Having finished a credible 4th in the Premier League 

in 2010, hopes were initially high that a similar result 

was possible for the 1st XI in 2011. Regrettably for 

the Club, Tom Parsons had to spend a season playing 

in the Middlesex League whilst trying to further his 

professional playing ambitions. 

However, the team got off to a perfect start with a 

thumping win away at Bickley Park. Unfortunately this 

was as good as it got in the win/lose/draw format, as 

the performances from the team as a whole were found 

wanting against some strong teams. 

Despite results not going to plan, the team stuck to it’s 

task, lead from the front by captain and opener Tom 

Harvey, who was already having a year to remember 

with the bat. A thumping win away at Bexley showed 

what the team was capable of, as The Mote amassed 

303 for 2 against an attack comprising Min Patel, Adam 

Riley and the very talented Henry Pickering. Chris 

Back scored his maiden 1st XI century and there was 

an explosive cameo from Kent paceman Matt Coles. In 

reply, Bexley were dismissed for 145. 

A thumping at the hands of Hartley followed, set up by 

an outstanding 100 scored by James Thompson at The 

Mote. Following this, The Mote beat Tunbridge Wells by 

113 runs at The Nevill, with Tom Harvey setting up the 

win with a fantastic 150 not out and Matt Coles finding 

some form which he carried into county cricket taking 

5-31. This was to be the final success of the campaign, 

however at home to Blackheath, 19 year old Matt White 

scored a debut 1st XI ton. Had it not been for a one-off 

appearance from Daniel Bell-Drummond (who scored 

132 from 114 balls), The Mote probably would have won 

this game. 

Relegation was confirmed when the fixture between 

ourselves and fellow strugglers Sibton Park had to be 

abandoned – sealing both clubs fate. Special mention 

must be made of Tom Harvey, who finished the season 

as league leading run scorer with 856 runs at an average 

of 57.07, with five 50’s and three 100’s. A terrific 

achievement. 

Looking forward, with youngsters such as Caspian Paget, 

Matt White and Shaun Piesley around next year and 

all improving, hopefully a fit James Hodgson, the Club 

should be well positioned to compete for an immediate 

return to the Premier League. 


The 2nd XI were in contention for promotion at the 

half way stage of the season, but as availability worsened, 

so did the performances of the team and they ended up 

finishing in a solid 4th. The 3rd and 4th teams continue 

to remain competitive in their respective feeder leagues 

and continue to be a great place for the juniors to get a 

flavour of league cricket. 

2011 saw two weeks of Kent 2’s fixtures at The Mote. 

In glorious weather, a feast of runs were scored – 

unfortunately mainly by Somerset and Glamorgan, 

however the wickets produced by Tony Saunders 

received praise from both players and officials. 

Thanks to the efforts of Steve Merwood and Dennis 

Fowle, some considerable grants have been obtained to 

purchase a new roller and also to restore the Tabernacle 

to a useable condition – many thanks to both. 

Our colts sections continues to grow, with teams 

from Under 11 up to Under 15. The Under 13’s did 

fantastically well in winning the local cup competition. 

Many thanks are due to Iain Hume and his coaching 

team for all the hard work they put in. 

Tunbridge Wells 

Tunbridge Wells Cricket Club has a long history, 

and celebrated its bicentenary in 1982; The Nevill is 

noted as one of the most picturesque grounds in the 

country, with E.W.Swanton referring to the venue as 

“no mean contender for the most delectable English 

Cricket Ground”. Kent CCC have visited for a Cricket 

Week since 1902, and 2012 will be the 100th such in a 

remarkable sequence that has stood the test of time. 

The Ground has also staged international matches - 

most notably the 1983 World Cup fixture between 

India and Zimbabwe (Kapil Dev’s match). A number 

of players with first-class or international experience 

have represented the Club in the Kent Cricket League, 

among whom are Bob Woolmer, Alan Brown, Peter 

Hearn, Mike Willard, and more recently Rajesh Sharma 

and Julian Thompson. The former Kent County Cricket 

Club President, Carl Openshaw, is an erstwhile playing 

member of long standing and great distinction, and Nigel 

Keess is the current SNKCL Chairman. 

Just as in 2010, there were no Saturday promotions 

nor relegations, with all four League sides maintaining 

their status, but overall it was a year where the home 

batsmen made their mark, from the lowliest side to the 

flagship Premier XI. To what extent the new Nets facility 

assisted in this remains unclear but undoubtedly the 

practise opportunities were massively increased, while 

the quality of the tracks on the two home Grounds 

encouraged consistent stroke play. Conversely, the 

bowlers had to work for their successes, and incisive 

performances inevitably shortened the route to victory 

at all levels. A notable Club achievement was recorded 

when each of the four XI’s notched at least one League 

score of 300-plus during the season, a feat without 

parallel. Early indications showed the attacks on top 

with the weekend 23/4 April producing three hat-tricks 

at The Nevill, but thereafter conditions favoured batting 

as the surfaces hardened out. 

The First XI was under new leadership as Evert Bekker 

took over from Mark Smith in the Club’s longest 

consecutive run in the Premier Division since its 1997 

inauguration, and that sequence was extended to a 

seventh year as the XI stayed just above the drop 

zone for the Summer. In addition, Bekker took the 

side into the National Last Sixteen with a memorable 

involvement in the ECB Cup, after TWCC had become 

the sole Kent Club to survive even the opening round. 

The First Team matchplay was marked by thrilling 

finishes in both categories, with six League games ending 

in the final over together with two more in the Cup. The 

highlight for the XI, and indeed TWCC, was the setting 

of a record successful KL run-chase in the Premier 

Division when a target of 313 was reached from the 

final ball in the home game against Lordswood. 

The Club welcomed back Tim Luckhurst as skipper of 

the 2nd XI, and at once he inspired the XI in a positive 

way, with the team at one stage appearing to be in line 

for a place as Runners-Up, although this sadly was not 

fulfilled. The side led off with four wins (and two winning 

draws) out of the first nine, but could not maintain such 

dynamism despite which they finished with a meritworthy 

joint fourth spot in the Table. It was important 

to note that 13-y-o Marcus O’Riordan became the 

youngest 2nd XI debutant since Greg Adams (also 13) 

in 1996. Four players hit centuries during the campaign, 

and strong batting helped to land a total of six batsecond 

wins. 

The Third String was without an appointed skipper, 

although BJ Allatt gave yeoman stand-in service 

throughout the Summer. He was assisted at the helm 

by four experienced seniors, and the XI, as was the 

2011 habit, batted powerfully, and when the bowling 

chimed in, they won game after game. Sam Stickler 

top-scored for the Club with 170 at the Upper Ground, 

Allatt crashed 167 there, and these two knocks headed 

the 2011 batting highlights, while the latter starred as 

all-rounder at the top of the wickets list, bagging 16, as 

did The Chairman, with varied back-up from new players 

and old alike. TW 3rd XI played out 16 of their 18 

games, winning nine, and ended up with a buoyant sixth 

place in the Feeder Premier Division. 

The Fourth XI was again led out by David Pinkstone, 

who finally reached three figures after some close 

encounters and headed the batting totals with 

almost 500 runs. Several Youth Players made notable 

contributions, and senior men notched three centuries 

yet the 65-ball blitz by Michael Reichel (131*) made 

Club history at Walmer : with 15-y-o James Lunshof 

(78*), 219 runs were blasted for an unbroken 8th 

partnership in a surreal demolition following a paltry 

base of 78-7. Sadly the XI lost eleven of their games, 

winning just three, and survived in their League by a 

narrow margin, notwithstanding the heroics already 

mentioned. 

With the Flagship XI Cup Run exceeding all expectation, 

both Sunday League XI’s were compelled to forego 

a game, but the First Team, despite some horrendous 

collapses, came back strongly to take joint second

spot, while the Second Team went beyond even that 

achievement. Led nobly by Percy Watts, the side 

recovered from a flat beginning to put aside all-comers, 

and they finally won the Division 3 Title with a lastwicket 

epic (from a ten-man side !) that featured an age 

difference between the two heroes of more than 55 

years, itself indubitably a record. Watts forged a doughty 

team spirit from a basic squad, and rewarded loyalty and 

endeavour ~ thus several powerful sides were pipped at 

the post as the silverware came to TWCC. 

The Youth section was again prominent, with twin 

Border League successes at U13 and U15, and a third 

Kent U9’s Title was won to go alongside the U13 Girls’ 

first trophy in the Lords Taverners Competition at 

County level. 

The Langdale Trophy eluded the hosts in 2011 but will 

be contested again in 2012 as the popularity of the U17 

format grows anew. TWCC has continued to maintain 

both Clubmark and Focus Club accreditation, which 

protect the future development and security of the 

Club at all levels, while fresh Sponsorship Deals have 

continued to support the steady progress made by The 

Club Committee in the close season. 

Directions: Proceeding from London, Sevenoaks and 

Tonbridge: Exit the A21 on to the A26. Travel through 

Southborough into Tunbridge Wells, continue on the 

A26, avoiding the town centre one-way systems. 

Go past the Kent and Sussex Hospital on your right; 

follow the road to the bottom of Tunbridge Wells town 

centre. At the mini-roundabout take the fist exit, A267 

Frant Road. Immediately turn left into Warwick Park. 

The Nevill Ground is on the left after approximately 

0.75 miles at the end of Nevill Gate. 

Because these directions are imperilled by congestion 

and roadwork’s in the Summer, a handy ALTERNATIVE 

is to follow the A21 to the A264 turn-off (slip-road to 

second roundabout after the two-way system) onto the 

Pembury Road, turn left at the main traffic lights (Royal 

Oak) into Bayhall Road and follow that road through 

Hawkenbury until the cricket ground is signposted into 

Warwick Park. 

(The Hawkenbury Oval is reached by turning left in 

Hawkenbury at the Spread Eagle PH.)Journeys from 

Maidstone would join the Pembury Road as above, and 

from the South would go via the A267 and Warwick 

Park.

Upchurch 


The season of 2011 saw the Saturday 1st, 2nd, 4th XI 

and Sunday 1st and 2nd XI maintain their status in their 

respective leagues, with congratulations to the 3rd XI 

on gaining promotion. Upchurch CC 1st XI progressed 

to the finals day of the 20/20 and Doug Wood Cup 

competitions for the second year running. Unfortunately 

we were beaten in the semi-finals of the 20/20, but 

displayed awesome performances in the Doug Wood 

Cup Final and retained the title of Champions. 

Once again, the youngsters of Upchurch CC flourished, 

with two of our under 15’s making debut appearances 

for the 1st XI and others stepping into the 2nd XI with 

respective ease. This transition for our youngsters is 

only possible with the assistance of their coaches Adam 

Hodder, Steve Parker, Trevor Collis, Tony Falconar, Ian 

Taylor, Jim Gillam, Ann Danton and George Phillips who 

always ensure that all the girls and boys within the Colts 

Section continue to flourish and enjoy our beautiful 

game. Congratulations to our under 9’s who once again 

won the Swale Plate. 

During the season, Upchurch CC welcomed the Kent 

Ladies Team to our ground and also hosted the Kent 

District Boys Finals, we were also awarded the Silver 

Certificate from the Swale Development Sports Awards. 

We are extremely proud to have been nominated two 

years running. Upchurch CC was also reaccredited with 

Club Mark status and we continue to be a Focus Club 

within the Borough of Swale and Kent. 

2011 was a ‘levelling’ time for the Club however, 

significantly the main changes this year involved the 

extensive work undertaken to the clubhouse. Steve 

Parker spearheaded and oversaw the main construction 

of the building. With the help and contribution of 

materials and time from Club members the structure 

was finished within 16 weeks, at which point Jerry 

Overbury and Tim Mullis worked with Steve on the 

interior design and it was about mid way through the 

season when the full benefits of the new first floor 

could be utilised to its full potential. Upchurch FC and 

Bredhurst FC now share the football pitches and the 

clubhouse is in constant use during the winter months. 

Work is still being undertaken because the showers 

need to be completed, however, with the hard work 

from The Committee, Members and Volunteers it is 

envisaged that these will be completed by the beginning 

of 2012 season. 

Ten years ago we were a Club that had one Saturday 

and Sunday team, with one cricket area and a small 

Club House. Now we have, 4 Saturday teams, 2 Sunday 

teams, and can offer cricket for under 17’s, 15’s, 13’s, 11’s 

and 9’s. We can also offer opportunities to play football 

during the winter. We now have two football pitches and 

two wickets that are prepared to a high standard, plus 

practice nets and a brand new clubhouse. Everyone who 

contributed their time, effort and dedication in getting 

Upchurch CC where we are today deserves a huge 

Thank you. 


Walmer 

Now well into our second century, we are one of the 

longest surviving cricket clubs in the County. Fielding 

two teams on both Saturday and Sunday. Since moving 

to our present ground in Sholden which we share with 

Deal Hockey Club we have progressed through the 

Dover, South Kent and East Kent leagues. When moving 

a major decision had to be made whether we wanted 

to start playing league cricket. The Club decided to take 

the plunge and were led into league cricket by the then 

chairman, the late Peter Milroy, a decision the current 

players appreciate. 

Well after the relegation the previous season, Walmer 

1st team were hoping for a swift return to Kent League 

Division 4. But it didn’t turn out that way. Captain and 

key batsman Laurence Marsh was only able to make a 

handful of appearances. With no overseas player it was 

always going to be tough but they managed to record 

three victories against Bromley Town, Offham and 

Nonnington. 

The victory against Nonnington was pleasing as they 

were at the time unbeaten and playing well. Youngster 

Connor Mcmillan playing against his old team took 4 

wickets and showed a lot of promise throughout the 

season but an unfortunate injury half way through the 

season stopped him from being able to bowl at full 

tilt. Also at times he showed ability with the bat and 

hopefully he can progress into a fine all rounder. We 

were set 192 to win and although nobody got a big 

score handy contributions from all of the top 5 took us 

through to victory. 

The victory over Bromley Town was just a remarkable 

performance, after being set 205 for victory we 

crumbled to 8 wickets down with only about 80 on the 

board, but veteran seamer Andy Cotton and paceman 

Barry Green set about the task, they just dug in and the 

scoreboard ticked along, you always think that at some 

point you will lose a wicket and the game will soon be 

over, but Cotton and Green kept going. Then it started 

to look like a possibility the unlikely could happen, and 

sure enough with the help of a few extras along the way 

Cotton chipped in with 31 and Green with 38 and the 

victory was ours from such and unlikely position. 

The batting was held together by Andy Birkett who 

scored 439 runs with five half centuries including a top 

score of 89 not out against Chislehurst & West Kent. 

Martyn North scored 365 runs with four fifties including 

a top score of 68 against Wickham Park. Graeme North 

did a decent job of playing the anchor roll and weighed 

in with 256 runs with one fifty against Wickham Park. 

On the bowling front Barry Green led the way with 29 

wickets with best figures of 5-60 against Nonnington. 

As already mentioned Connor Mcmillan showed a lot of 

promise and took 17 wickets, Young spinner Tom Burnap 

weighed in with 15 wickets and Andy Birkett showed 

how crucial he is to the team taking 15 wickets to go 

with his runs. 

Relegation two years on the trot was hard to take for 

the Club but going into the Kent Regional League here’s 

hoping 2012 will be an upturn in fortunes and the 1st 

team can get back where they want to be in the Kent 

league. 

On the 2nd team front we recorded two victories 

during the season doing the double over Wickham Park. 

In the away fixture All rounder Simon Moore scored 

his maiden league century with 102 not out, this fixture 

even included an appearance in the team for scorer Liz 

Grigg. 

It was as always a hard season for runs in the 2nd team. 

But youngster Eoin Mcgrath showed a lot of promise 

leading the run charts with 240 runs with three fifties 

with a top score of 66 against Frindsbury. Simon Moore 

scored 219 runs with the already mentioned century 

his top score of season. Veteran opener Derek Brown 

scored 214 runs with two fifties and fellow veteran 

Andy Grigg weighed in with 155 with one fifty. 

On the bowling front seamer Andy Cotton was the 

star performer once again, its always a bonus for a 

captain when you have someone that can control one 

end like Cotton can, he took 16 wickets, Jack Brown 

chipped in with 13 wickets taking 4-55 against Tunbridge 

Wells. Andy Grigg took 12 wickets taking 4-51 against 

Wickham Park. 

A special mention must be made for young spinner 

Harry Miles, he came into the team towards the end of 

the season, basically as kids do making up the numbers, 

but in a game at Offham where we had a very young 

team the ball was thrown to him and he didn’t look 

back. He ended up bowling 48 overs in the last few 

games taking five wickets, but the impressive thing for 

a 13 year old was his control. Hopefully next season 

and beyond he will continue to improve into a quality 

bowler. 

Well relegation should have happened but a reprieve 

during the winter after the ground of one of the clubs 

who were promoted was not upto standard means the 

2nd team can look forward to another season in the 

Kent league. 

As the 2012 season is coming up round the corner 

here’s hoping for a good year, after the recent approval 

of housing development in the field opposite the lease 

of the Club is assured after several years of uncertainty 

over if we would continue to have somewhere to play. 

The youngsters in the Club continue to improve and 

hopefully will show even more promise. Although it’s 

been a struggle the last few years on the pitch there 

is a feel good factor to the Club, everybody is pulling 

together and making it a good place to be. 

Whatever the results those visiting Walmer will be 

assured of competitive cricket at one of the leagues 

most picturesque and well-maintained grounds.

REPORTS



Whitstable 

Another tough year at the Bubble but when the season 

is totted up I think there were more plus points than 

minus points. 

The 1st XI had their best season for a good few years 

in fact to find them finishing as high as they did last 

season you would have to go back the last decade and 

2006. Of that team only three players were regulars 

in 2011, Sam Denly, Jamie Watkins and Sean French. A 

new skipper and a good recruitment saw a different 

approach this year with Sam Denly taking on the 

skippers arm band (sorry football I know) and the useful 

additions of Liam Tegg and Tim Sparke to the ranks. The 

leading batsman was Aussie import Tim Sparke who 

scored 746 runs at 62.17 including three 100’s and four 

50’s, the highest in the Division followed, a little way 

back, by Max Campbell 491 at 35.07, Liam Tegg 431 at 

28.73 and Sam Denly 250 at 22.73 - although Max and 

Sam did have a little rest mid-season - other than these 

no other player scored 200 plus. The bowling was much 

the same with the wickets spread amongst 5 bowlers 

lead by Josh Gould 28 at 20.14, Liam Tegg 24 at 27.00, 

Andy Robertson 16 at 29.00, Sean French 13 at 37.08 

and finally Max Campbell 10 at 23.10. 

The 2nd XI season was definitely a season of two halves 

with the first half not worth mentioning but with a 

championship winning run in with three 20 pointers 

and an abandoned. We have wondered over a few 

pints since the season how that would have gone as the 

relegation trap door opened with only 3 points between 

Whitstable and the team safe in 8th place but of course 

these things are decided over the course of 18 games 

not the last four. The batters shared the runs around 

with five players passing 200 runs John Butterworth 

leading with 297 at 24.75, Stuart Clements 277 at 21.31, 

Buzz Gould 275 at 39.29, Dean Lewis 254 at 18.14 and 

Jack Crouch 213 at 13.13. The bowling was not quite so 

spread with Start Clements 36 at 17.86, Duncan Hardy 

26 at 20.42 and John Butterworth 10 at 23.30. 

The 3rd XI after a relegation in 2010 had a good season 

overall with 4th place in the division and a number of 

good displays by the younger players. Top batter was 

Dave Pay 347 at 34.70 followed up by Grant Sargent 

271 at 27.10, Tom Jessup 251 at 22.82, Luke Blake 247 at 

17.46, Steve Holness 208 at 20.80 and Tom Phillis 200 at 

40.00. The bowlers were lead by Dave Pay (again!) 19 

at 7.37, Jonathan Sargent 16 at 29.06, Chris Stone 13 at 

20.69 and Ryan Attenborough 10 at 31.60. 

The Duck Cup was spread across all the sides with 

two players 1st XI players taking three each, the 2nd 

XI also shared on four each but the clear winner was 

from the 3rd XI on four, but I’ll leave the naming the 

names down to your detective work. Players availability 

was not a strong point with only one playing all 17 (one 

abandoned) league games for one team, although a 

couple of players did mix and match to get 18 games in 

across all three sides. 

102 


I would now like to say Thank You to a few people 

without whom the season would have been much 

harder for the people who input the results, so to 

scorers and umpires Daniel Lewis, Val Appleby, Diane 

Attenborough, Debbie Pay, Gary Martin, Mark Blake, 

Norman Wood, Grant Sargent and Steve Holness 

whether you did one game or all of them a BIG Thank 

You. May you all continue in 2012 and contribute to 

a successful season. We look forward to welcoming 

old and new friends to the Belmont in 2012 and hope 

that there trips to the seaside will be enjoyable but 

Fruitless!! 

Wickham Park 

Being asked to write a report made me think, it was a 

Testing season for everyone involved with Wickham 

Park’s Cricket Teams. 

Unfortunately between our two sides, we managed to 

win only five games during the whole of last season, 

a long way short of our dreams of promotion. Our 

stand out performance, by a long way, was our First 

XI, bowling out Walmer, for just 37 runs. Why we 

couldn’t continue this form for the rest of the season 

is a mystery to us all! We had several outstanding 

personal performances during the season, but very few 

of these we were able to translate into winning team 

performances. 

The Second Team struggled with availability, on one 

occasion, persuading one player to travel all the way 

back from University to allow us to field a team, 

truly above and beyond the call of duty, but showing 

admirable loyalty to the team, his actions were truly 

appreciated by his fellow team mates. This issue with 

availability resulted in mixed performances throughout 

the season. 

Our Sunday Team, who play friendly matches were 

the beacon of hope. This is where we play our up and 

coming young players, mixed with a touch of experience, 

allowing them to gain valuable match experience before 

joining our Saturday League Teams. 

Every one of the eleven players on the pitch is as 

important as the other, and this was shown in the Team 

spirit and efforts of everyone at the Club, however, 

unfortunately, on more than one occasion we were 

unable to put out eleven players showing how difficult 

life at the bottom of the Kent League can be. 

Despite both of the Teams being relegated last season, 

we received some welcome news after the season 

had finished. Our First XI were reprieved and will 

continue to play League cricket for the 2012 season, 

and hopefully for many more seasons to come, whilst 

our 2nd XI will step out in the Feeder League, providing 

new opposition and experiences for them. 

With a crop of enthusiastic youngsters, and the 

experienced players of Wickham Park let’s hope the 

2011 season was just a blip, and success is just around 

the corner. 

Shepherd Neame Kent Cricket League REPORTS 

Wye 

The Saturday 1st Team again suffered from the same 

old problem, inconsistency of selection with important 

players frequently missing. When this team is at full 

strength it is good enough to beat anyone in the 

Championship East Division and this was proven as 

they won four out of the last five games to easily avoid 

what was a realistic relegation threat. That run was only 

interrupted by a remarkable double century by an ex 

county player, a game in which our own 20 year old 

Lewis Elgar scored a remarkable maiden century, even 

more remarkable when you consider he had not even 

recorded a fifty previously!! . The stand out performer 

in this team is the consistent Stuart Wise with 596 runs 

and 18 wickets. 

Having finished in 3rd place in Division 5 during 2010, 

Wye 2nd XI went into the 2011 with high hopes. What 

followed was an unbelievable season that surpassed all 

pre-season expectations. Played 18, won 14, drew 1 and 

3 abandoned to rain. An unbeaten season and top of the 

league - a unique and quite remarkable achievement for 

our Club. 

Wye 2nd XI 

Success was based upon the best bowling attack in the 

league - bowling out opposition teams in ten games and 

taking 128 wickets was the standout achievement with 

Rob Banks, Ian Lewis and Adrian Frampton all in the top 

five wicket takers in the league. 

The real difference between the 2010 season and the 

2011 season though was the batting. This season we 

managed to convert good bowling displays into victories 

by knocking off the runs - something that in previous 

seasons we had struggled to do on a consistent basis. 

Rob Banks was again the stand out performer with 572 

runs with an average of 95.33 but he was ably assisted 

by Neil Williams (334 runs) and David Jukes (320) 

who consistently delivered as a top three. One last 

stand-out achievement of note was that of our wicket 

keeper Adam Dodd - 16 dismissals (11 catches and 

5 stumping’s) plus another 2 catches in a game as an 

outfielder made him by far the best keeper statistically 

in the league. 

Next season we look forward to the many trips up the 

M20 to South London to test ourselves in Division 4 

again. Our Sunday Team finished mid table in the Kent 

Village League Division 5 without ever setting the 

world alight but it remains a happy team with a great 

attitude and importantly some young players gaining 

vital experience.

to advise Captains when they are falling behind the 

required over rate, and in addition to advise them at 

the close of play if points are to be deducted. Failure 

by the Umpires to comply with this clause shall not 

invalidate the deduction of points. 

3.2 A side that fails to meet the required rate over 

the course of each innings will have points deducted 

(subject to 6.5) as follows: 

Less than 17 overs/hour 1 Point

allowance for time lost during an innings (including 

time wasting by the batting side) and to deduct such 

allowances from the total time taken to complete 

the innings before calculating the over rate. The 

umpire at the bowling end will inform the fielding 

captain, the batsmen and his fellow umpire of 

any time allowances as and when they arise. The 

allowances shall not be subject to retrospective 

negotiation.

4.1 Umpires shall interpret the Law relating to wide 

deliveries in the context of whether the batsman 

has a reasonable opportunity of playing the ball, 

and in accordance with guidelines laid down by the 

Management Committee from time to time. This 

will mean a stricter ruling than the letter of the Law 

provides, albeit not as strict as the interpretation for 

‘limited over wides’. 

4.2 When an Umpire considers that a bowler is 

bowling down the leg side as a negative tactic, the 

umpire shall first warn the bowler and the captain 

of the fielding side. Thereafter, the strict limited over 

wide interpretation will be applied. Wides will incur a 

penalty of one run plus any extras scored.

earned at 30/50 of the normal levels, i.e. 75, 90, 105 

and 120 runs).

3. OVER RATES 

3.1 Each innings shall be completed within 3 hours. 

The over in progress at the completion of the time 

allowance shall count as a completed over for the 

purposes of this calculation. 

3.2 The Umpires shall have the power to make 

allowance for time lost during an innings (including, 

but not limited to, drinks breaks and time wasted by 

the batting side) and to deduct such time from the 

total time taken to complete the innings. The Umpire 

at the bowling end will inform the fielding captain, 

the batsmen and his fellow umpire of any time 

allowances as and when they arise. The allowances 

shall not be subject to retrospective negotiation. 

3.3 A side that fails to bowl the overs in the time 

allowed (as adjusted by 3.2 above) will have points 

deducted as follows: 

More than 3 hours but less than 3 hours 15 minutes: 

one point Between 3 hours 15 minutes and 3 hours 

30 minutes: two points More than 3 hours 30 

minutes: 3 points 

(a) It is within the Spirit of the Game to advise 

Captains when they are falling behind the required 

over rate, and in addition to advise them at the close 

of play if points are to be deducted. Failure by the 

Umpires to comply with this clause (a) shall not 



will not be subject to any penalties. 

3.5 For other innings which do not last 50 overs in 

a match in which a result is achieved (i.e. all except 

abandoned games), the time allowed will be prorated 

to the 50 overs in three hours allowance and 

any points deduction calculated by equivalent prorating 

to the time allowances in 3.3 above. 



4. DISCIPLINE 

4.1 Clubs undertake to abide by the Voluntary Code 

of Conduct. 

4.2 Should there be any apparent conflict between 

the League Constitution, Code of Conduct and 

playing conditions, the League Constitution shall 

prevail. 

158 


CONSTITUTION 









matches to the opposition, and the relegation of an 

offending Club. 

Voluntary Code Of 

Conduct 

As a Member Club of the Kent Cricket League 

you have agreed to abide by this Voluntary Code 

of Conduct and in so doing you have accepted 

that there is no right of appeal against any sanction 

contained within this Voluntary Code of Conduct. 

Every player registered to play in the League 

explicitly acknowledges by virtue of their registration 

the constitution of the League and in particular 

the powers of the League in relation to conduct 

and breaches of the rules, including the procedures 

specified and undertakes to be bound by them 

including the powers of suspension without recourse 

to appeal unless such appeal is so specified. 

1. Any player reported by an umpire for bad 

behaviour shall be suspended by his Club for the 

next TWO League matches played. 


behaviour for a second time in any one season shall 

be suspended by his Club for the next FOUR League 

matches played. 

3. Suspensions will be carried over to the following 

season if applicable. 

4. Any player suspended by his Club or by the League 

for whatever reason shall not be selected to play in 

Kent League representative matches in the season or 

seasons in which the suspension applies. 


behaviour on THREE occasions in any one season 

shall be asked to leave the Club. 

6. Any player to whom paragraph 5 above applies 

shall NOT be invited to join any other Kent League 

Club at any time in the future. 

7. Where the same player has been reported by an 

umpire on the second occasion in any one season 

his Club shall be fined the sum of £30.00. Thereafter 

for a third reporting of that player the Club shall be 

fined a further sum of £30.00. 

8. If any individual Club has three players reported by 

an umpire within any given season that Club shall be 

fined the sum of £50.00. For every additional player 

reported within the season the Club shall be fined 

a further sum of £20.00 for each additional player 

reported. 

NOTES 

1. Whereas the Code of Conduct deals with bad 

behaviour reported by an umpire, the responsibility 

for upholding standards of behaviour at all times lies 

squarely with the Clubs and in particular the captain 

of each team on the day. 

2. It should be stressed that nothing in this Code of 

Conduct should be taken to restrict or discourage 

clubs from more stringent action against offenders if 

the Club consider it to be appropriate. 

3. All Clubs must take a firm stand to uphold high 

standards of behaviour whether or not an incident 

is reported by an umpire and to ensure that any 

appropriate action is taken. Each member Club is 

expected to have in place a disciplinary procedure 

within its own rules. 

KENT CRICKET LEAGUE - VOLUNTARY 

CODE OF CONDUCT 

GUIDANCE NOTES 

These guidance notes outline the principles behind 

the Voluntary Code of Conduct (VCC), and the 

procedures for implementation thereof. It should be 

stressed that they are simply that - guidance notes - 

and failure by any umpires to comply with anything 

herein shall NOT invalidate the contents and effect 

of any subsequent Umpires’ report. Whereas the 

Code of Conduct deals with bad behaviour reported 

by an Umpire, the responsibility for upholding 

standards of behaviour at all times lies squarely with 

the Clubs, and in particular with the Captain of each 

team on the day. Note The Spirit of Cricket which is 

now incorporated in the Laws. 

All Clubs must take a firm stand to uphold high 

standards of behaviour whether or not an incident 

is reported by an Umpire, and to ensure that any 

appropriate action is taken. Each member Club is 

expected to have in place a disciplinary procedure 

within its own rules. 

The Voluntary Code of Conduct is unique to the 

Kent League and provides the strongest possible 

backing to umpires, as Clubs undertake to suspend 

any player reported by an umpire without a hearing, 

and without recourse to appeal. Its legitimacy stems 

from a unanimous vote of Clubs at the AGM each 

year, by which all Clubs agree to abide by it. 

However, everyone hopes that it will not simply 

be a mechanism for dealing with the consequences 

of unacceptable behaviour, but that it will also 

provide a useful tool to umpires to assist in 

defusing potentially explosive situations. Should the 

temperature start to rise sharply, an umpire may find 

it helpful and effective to have a quiet word with the 

captain and inform him that, if a player or players 

continue to overstep the mark, he would then feel 

obliged to report them under the VCC.If a captain 

has perhaps forgotten his obligation under the Laws 

and the Spirit of Cricket, the risk of players being 

suspended under the VCC might nevertheless prove 

salutary. Nevertheless, umpires should feel in no 

way constrained from reporting a player should they 

deem their behaviour to be unacceptable. 

In the event that an umpire does feel the need to 

report a player, the Kent League Umpires Panel 

Standard Report Form should be used. For nonmembers 

of the Panel, the form can be obtained 

either from your Club Secretary, each of whom will 

have a supply, or from Errol Valentine, the League 

Administrator. This form should also be used to 

report any instance of alleged misconduct by any 

player, club official or any other person off the field 

of play.It should ideally be sent to the Kent League 

Disciplinary Officer, Jonathan Patterson, whose 

address is on the form, within 48 hours of the event 

taking place. Before they leave the ground on the 

day of the incident, the Umpires should endeavour, 

where reasonably practicable, to inform the batting 

Captain, the fielding Captain and the person(s) 

involved in the incident that a report is being sent to 

the Kent League Disciplinary Officer. 

In any event the umpires should provide salient 

details to an official of the offending Club by 

9.00 p.m. on the Sunday of the weekend that the 

reportable incident takes place. (Where necessary 

using the Kent Cricket League <strong>Handbook</strong> for 

reference purposes). 

It is important that this information is conveyed 

wherever possible, as the notification to the Club of 

a report is the factor that “triggers” the suspension 

under the VCC, rather than receipt of the report 

by the Disciplinary Officer. This is because it is the 

Clubs that impose the suspension under the VCC, 

rather than the League. 

Given that selection committees invariably meet 

on a Monday or Tuesday evening, and that every 

Club would prefer not to have players reported 

and suspended, notifying the relevant parties on the 

159 




day is highly desirable to avoid additional selection 

difficulties and maintain optimum goodwill between 

Clubs and umpires. 

The Management Committee stress that, whilst 

everyone would prefer player behaviour to be of 

an impeccable standard, we rely upon our League 

umpires - within and outside the Panel - to ensure 

that acceptable standards are upheld. The VCC 

provides uniquely strong backing for their judgement. 

Disciplinary Procedures 

1. In the event of any player or players being 

reported for bad behaviour, a written report 

shall be submitted to Jonathan Patterson by the 

‘Complainant’ so that it is received by the Chairman 

of the Disciplinary Committee by the Tuesday 

following the incident. The Report must contain 

all factual information in relation to the incident. 

The report shall also confirm that the player or 

players reported have been advised that they have 

been reported and further, the report shall confirm 

that the two captains on the day in question have 

also been told that a player or players have been 

reported. The report shall contain any other 

information considered relevant by the ‘Complainant’ 

2. If the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee 

is of the opinion that the conduct described in the 

‘Complainants’ report is so serious that sanctions 

other than those contained within the Voluntary 

Code of Conduct should be considered, the 

Chairman shall forthwith write to the two captains 

on the day requesting a written report with regard 

to the incident. Such a report must be sent to 

Jonathan Patterson so that it is received by him no 

later than the Monday following his receipt of the 

‘Complainants’ report. 

3. The Disciplinary Committee shall sit to consider 

the reports of the ‘Complainants’ and the captains 

no later than fourteen days after the incident. 

The committee shall have the power to pass the 

following sanctions. A player or players may be 

suspended from playing in the Kent Cricket League 

for any number of matches considered appropriate 

by the Disciplinary Committee. There shall be 

no limit to this power. Further, the Disciplinary 

Committee shall have the power to impose a fine, to 

the maximum of £100 on any Club who has a player 

suspended by the Disciplinary Committee. 

4. Any suspension imposed by the Disciplinary 

Committee suspension shall be over and above 

the suspension already in place by the virtue of the 

Voluntary Code of Conduct. 

160 

5. When a player is suspended by the Disciplinary 

Committee the Disciplinary Committee shall notify 

the player and his Club within 14 days of the date of 

the Disciplinary Committee Meeting.

upon a club, the Chairman of that Club shall be 

notified of the fine within 14 days of the date of the 

Disciplinary Committee Meeting. 

7.Club shall have the right of appeal against any fine 

imposed by the Disciplinary Committee. 

8. A player suspended by the Disciplinary Committee 

shall have no right of appeal against such suspension, 

save only as mentioned in the paragraph below. 

9. If a player is suspended for a period greater than 

six matches, not including and suspension imposed 

under the terms of the Voluntary Code of Conduct, 

that player or the Club, shall have a right of appeal 

against the suspension but only insofar as it relates 

to that part of the suspension which is greater than 

six matches, excluding any suspension imposed 

under the terms of the Voluntary Code of Conduct. 

10.Any Appeal lodged pursuant to paragraph 9 shall 

only be an appeal against the length of a suspension. 

NOTE: The ‘Complainant’ shall be an umpire 

officiating in the relevant game or the Chairman of 

one of the Clubs involved in the relevant game or in 

the absence of the Chairman an Officer of that Club, 

who shall not be a Captain of any side within the 

Club, nor a player in the relevant game. 

Appeals 

1. Any player suspended by the Disciplinary 

Committee or the Club with any player suspended 

by the Disciplinary Committee has a right of appeal 

against suspension the following procedure shall be 

adopted.

notifying the details of the suspension the player 

or his Club shall lodge a letter of appeal together 

with a fee of £50. The letter and fee shall be sent to

of suspension. The Appeal Committee has no power 

to interfere with any automatic suspension by virtue 

of the Voluntary Code of Conduct. In the event that an 

appeal is successful, either wholly or in part, the Appeal

in writing to the Club and to the player within seven 

days of the date of the hearing. 

7. The Appeal Committee shall be constituted in

Spirit of Cricket 

Cricket is a game that owes much of its 

unique appeal to the fact that it should 

be played not only within its Laws, but 

also within the Spirit of the Game. Any 

action which is seen to abuse this spirit 

causes injury to the game itself. The major 

responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair 

play rests with the captains. 

1 There are two Laws which place the 

responsibility for the team’s conduct 

firmly on the captain. 

Responsibility of captains 

The captains are responsible at all times for 

ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit 

of the Game as well as within the Laws. 

Player’s conduct 

In the event that any player failing to comply 

with instructions by an umpire, or criticising 

by word or action the decisions of an umpire, 

or showing dissent, or generally behaving in 

a manner which might bring the game into 

disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the 

first place report the matter to the other 

umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct 

the latter to take action. 

2 Fair and unfair play 

According to the Laws the umpires are the sole 

judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may 

intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of 

the captain to take action where required. 

3 The umpires are authorised to intervene in 

cases of: 

• Time wasting 

• Damaging the pitch 

Dangerous or unfair bowling 

• Tampering with the ball 

• Any other action that they consider 

to be unfair. 

4 The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT 

for: 

• Your opponents 

• Your own captain and team 

• The role of the umpires 

• The game’s traditional values. 

5 It is against the Spirit of the Game: 

• To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, 

action or gesture 

• To direct abusive language towards an 

opponent or umpire 

• To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, 

for instance: 

(a) to appeal knowing that the batsman is 

not out, (b) to advance towards an umpire in 

an aggressive manner when appealing, (c) to 

seek to distract an opponent either verbally 

or by harassment with persistent clapping or 

unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm 

and motivation of one’s own side. 

6 Violence 

There is no place for any act of violence on the 

field of play. 

7 Players 

Captains and umpires together set the tone for 

the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is 

expected to make an important contribution to 

this.

Premier Division 

Pitch Preparation 

Guidelines 

The following is an extract of relevant parts 

of the memorandum from Frank Kemp of 

ECB titled Pitch Preparation Guidelines 

dated March 1999 and sent to all Kent 

League Panel Umpires. 

Background 

Umpires should note Section 4 of the Premier 

League Playing Conditions. 

Objective 

Clubs, ground authorities and groundsmen shall 

make every effort to produce the best possible pitch 

and outfield for each match Ideally the pitch should 

be dry at the start of the match. 

Role of the Umpires.The Umpires will assume 

responsibility for the pitch and ground 30 minutes 

before the scheduled start of play day. The home 

ground authority is responsible 

at all other times. 

Covering of the Pitch 

1. The Pitch 

Whenever possible, the whole pitch should be 

covered on each of the two nights immediately 

preceding each match. The pitch may be 

covered at any time prior to that during the 

preparation of the pitch at the discretion of 

the home ground authority. 

If any matches are arranged on the ground on the 

Thursday or Friday before any Premier League match 

day, clubs are urged to give priority to covering the 

Premier League match pitch rather than the other 

pitch whenever rain is falling or expected to fall. 

Roll-on covers should be used whenever possible, in 

order to allow circulation of airand reduce moisture 

retention. If flat sheets are used it is recommended 

that a porous mat is laid over the pitch under the 

flat sheets. Every effort should be made to prevent 

water seeping under the covers onto any part of the 

pitch. 

The pitch shall be covered in the event of 

play being suspended on account of bad light 

or rain during the specified hours of play. It 

is the responsibility of the home team to 

protect the pitch and immediate surrounds 

during inclement weather and they shall 

carry out such duties without delay when 

play has been suspended. 

162 

The visiting team can assist the home team if they 

so wish. In good conditions the covers should be 

removed before 8.30 am on the morning of 

the match. They should be replaced if rain falls 

prior to the commencement of play. If covers 

are used overnight during the preparation of 

the pitch they should be removed before 8.30 

am whenever possible, having regard to the 

prevailing weather conditions. 

The pitch may be protected by a porous mat 

during the preparation period whenever other 

matches are taking place on the ground, in 

order to avoid unnecessary damage. It is the 

responsibility of the ground authority to decide 

if such protection is merited by the prevailing 

ground and weather conditions and the nature 

of the match being played on the ground. 

2. Other Areas 

When circumstances allow, and unless the 

Umpires decide otherwise, clubs should aim to 

cover the following areas as a minimum: 

The bowler’s ‘run-up’ to a distance of at least 

ten yards, with a width of four yards. 

At least ten feet either side of the length of the 

pitch. Further areas, in particular worn patches, 

should be covered whenever possible and 

practical. 

3. Covering During Play 

In order to make play possible, the Umpires 

may decide, following consultation with the 

Captains, to have particularly wet or muddy 

areas covered by mats or blankets whilst play is 

in progress. A pitch being prepared for a future 

match may be protected by a porous mat in order to 

avoid any unnecessary damage. 

4. Information for Umpires 

Clubs should ensure that the Umpires are made 

aware of the covering arrangements for the 

pitch and surrounds before the start of play. 

5. Rolling and Cutting 

The grass on the pitch and ground should be 

mown, and the pitch rolled, under the direction 

of the home ground authority prior to the start 

of play at any time up to half an hour before the 

time fixed for the start of play. 

The pitch should be swept between innings and 

may be rolled, if the Captain of the side batting 

second so elects for not more than 7 minutes. 

Clubs must ensure that at least one roller is 

available for use before and during the match. 

Clubs should ensure that the Umpires and the 

visiting Captain understand which roller(s) 

will be available for the duration of the match 

before the toss for innings is made. 

Watering the Pitch 

In order to ensure that, whenever possible, the 

pitch is dry at the start of play the pitch should 

not be artificially watered within 48 hours of the 

start of play on either day except in exceptional 

circumstances, which must be clearly identified 

in the Groundsman’s Pitch Report. 

Maintenance of Footholes 

Law 10.6 will apply, but in addition the Umpires 

should see that, wherever possible and 

whenever it is considered necessary, action is 

taken during all intervals in play to do whatever 

is practical to improve the bowlers’ foot 

holes.

Umpire’s Indemnity 

In 2002 the EBC produced a match team 

sheet that we circulated to all Clubs. Under 

the Laws of Cricket all Clubs should submit 

their team to the umpires half an hour 

before play commences. In essence the 

team sheets were a way to do this, plus 

indemnifying the umpires in each match 

against liability, passing this liability onto the 

competing Clubs, with the captain of each 

being required to sign this liability away on 

behalf of their Club in each match. 

Whilst the Management Committee wish to 

recommend that team cards are produced to 

umpires before each game, this is most difficult, if 

not impossible, to monitor and police. 

Clearly, however, umpires cannot assume liability 

for any ‘incidents’ that may take place between two 

Clubs on the field of play, whether it be injury or etc. 

We set out below a short ‘liability code’, which in 

essence, similar to the Code of Conduct will be 

agreed unanimously at every AGM agreeing that 

Clubs as opposed to umpires are liable for activities 

on the field of play. This will require 100% support at 

an AGM.

FIXTURES 2012 

Twenty20 

We are hopeful that such a ‘code’ will cover all Clubs 

in the event that a team sheet is not submitted and 

signed before each match. 

As the Committee of a Kent League Cricket 

Club we agree to abide by the following 

conditions in relation to all Kent Cricket 

League matches. 

1. If any player who is under 18 years of age on the 

day of that match plays for our club in any Kent 

League cricket match that player shall wear a helmet 

with a face guard when batting or when keeping 

wicket if ‘standing up’ when doing so. 

2. The ECB fast bowling directives shall apply to each 

and every Kent League Cricket match. 

3. No umpire standing in any Kent League cricket 

match shall be held liable by our club for any 

incident that occurs as a result of a breach of 

these Conditions the enforcement of which is the 

responsibility of our club. 

Twenty20 Rules 

Please make contact with your opposition as soon 

as possible and arrange a date for your match. The 

home team MUST offer 3 dates to their opposition 

giving at least seven days notice and at least seven 

days before the due date of the due date for 

completion of that round. 

It is up to the away team to confirm a date within 

48 hours of the dates being offered. ALL games must 

be played at the Home team’s main ground, or if the 

opposition agrees, a venue that is suitable to both 

teams. 

COMPLETION DATES 

Round 1 – by 20th May 

Round 2 – by 5th June 

Round 3 – by 24th June 

Round 4 – by 7th July 

The League will determine the result of any match 

not played by the due date, by the toss of a coin, 

unless an extension date has been agreed with the 

League beforehand. 

Semi-Finals/Final – Sunday 22nd July, Beckenham C.C. 

166 

PLAYING CONDITIONS 

One umpire to be supplied by each side in the 

preliminary rounds. Umpires will be provided for the 

Finals Day. 

DURATION 

One innings per side, each innings limited to a 

maximum of 20 overs. 

SCHEDULED HOURS OF PLAY 

First Innings: 5.30pm – 6.45pm 

Second Innings: 6.50pm – 8.05pm 

Games organised on weekends can be started at a 

time agreed by both sides. 

INTERVAL 

The interval shall be of 5 minutes duration. 

RE-ARRANGEMENT OF OVERS 

Teams have one hour 15 minutes to bowl 20 overs. 

In the first innings, the calculation of the number of 

overs to be bowled shall be based upon one over 

for every 3.75 minutes in the total time available for 

play up to the scheduled close of play. In the second 

innings of the match, overs shall be reduced at a rate 

of one over for every full 3.75 minutes lost, unless 

the first innings finished early/ second innings started 

early, in which case no overs are lost until the time 

that has been gained is subsequently lost. 

TIMED OUT 

The incoming batsman MUST be in a position to 

take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive 

the next ball within one minute 30 seconds of the 

fall of the previous wicket. 

BALLS 

Each club to provide a ball of non Premier Shepherd 

Neame Kent Cricket League standard for each game. 

One new ball is to be used for each innings. 

CLOTHING 

Players in all matches will wear clothing and 

equipment that follow the League Management 

guidelines, that is predominantly white. 

Twenty20 

THE RESULT 

Each side must have faced (or had the opportunity 

to face) 5 (five) overs in order to constitute a match. 

In the event of a tie at the completion of a match, 

the team that lost the fewer wickets will be adjudged 

the winner. If this gives no result, then the team with 

the highest score at the end of 15 completed overs 

shall be adjudges the winner. If this is still equal, then 

the side with the highest score at the end of 10 

completed overs shall be adjudged the winner. If the 

game is interrupted by weather, a bowl out should 

take place. 5 players should be nominated and will 

bowl 2 balls each at a full set of stumps. 

In the case of a tie at the completion of this round 

further players must be selected to bowl on a 

sudden death format. Result must be emailed to 

admin@kcl.uk.netThis e-mail address is being 

protected from spambots. You need JavaScript 

enabled to view it. within 48 hours of the completion 

of the match. 

RESTRICTIONS ON THE PLACEMENT OF 

FIELDSMEN 

Fielding restrictions apply for the first six overs of 

each innings of each match. 2 fielders must be in 

catching positions, with only 2 fielders outside the 

fielding circle during this period. After this 4 fielders 

must be inside the fielding circle at any time. 

NUMBER OF OVERS PER BOWLER 

Each Bowler may bowl a maximum of 4 overs. In a 

delayed or interrupted match, no bowler may bowl 

more than 1/5 of the total overs allowed unless 

such a number has been exceeded before the 

interruption. 

FREE HIT AFTER FRONT FOOT NO BALL 

This will apply, however no field changes may be 

made for the free hit, except if batsmen crossed and 

a left hand/right hand combination means that there 

are too many fielders on the leg side. 

SHORT PITCHED BOWLING 

One short pitched ball is allowed per over, but must 

pass below the batsman’s head in normal stance. 

OVER RATE PENALTIES 

The six–run penalty for each over bowled will apply. 

All sides are expected to be in position to bowl the 

first ball of the last if their 20 overs within one hour 

15 minutes playing time. 

In reduced over matches, the fielding side has one 

over leeway in addition to any time that the umpires 

may allow for stoppages. 20 overs will be bowled and 

the penalty runs are added to the amassed total at 

the end. 

Umpires are instructed to apply strict interpretation 

of time wasting by the batsman (5 run penalties) 

specifically; batsmen are expected to be ready for 

the start of a new over as soon as the bowler is 

ready. 

QUALIFIED PLAYERS 

There are NO overseas players (Category3) 

permitted in the TWENTY20 Tournament. Players 

who are registered to a club within SNKCL must 

play for the side that they are registered with in the 

League and be a bona fide playing member of the 

club. 

Players who are Category 3 exempt are allowed to 

play in this competition. 

A cricketer who is registered and has a contract 

of any length which allows them to play for a First 

Class County Club shall be ineligible to play in the 

Twenty20 unless covered by the rule below. 

Bona fide club members who are registered and have 

a contract of any length which allows them to play 

with a First Class County are unable to play unless 

they are ‘Home Grown’ players. For the purposes of 

this competition such a player shall be defined as a 

player with first class experience who was a member

The Lake District... 

The Perfect Getaway. 

Call today! 

01689 856 357 

07836 784 965 

This delightful little cottage is situated in the tiny tucked away hamlet 

of Wythop Mill (one of Alfred Wainwright’s secret valleys) between the 

market towns of Keswick and Cockermouth. There are many lovely 

walks from the door straight onto Sale Fell and Ling Fell. Bassenthwaite 

Lake is within walking distance and Buttermere is also within easy 

reach, overlooked by Haystacks and the winding Honister Pass. 

There are excellent local inns and eateries close by such as the Pheasant 

Inn at Bassenthwaite, The Wheatsheaf at Lorton, the Kirkstile Inn at 

Loweswater and the five star Armthwaite Hall Hotel & Spa.
