Ryan is a right-arm seam bowler who has played for Woodville District CC in South Australia for the past 10 seasons and was both the Grade B leading wicket-taker and player of the season in 2010-2011. Ryan has also previously played in UK in 2008 for Masham CC in North Yorkshire.

Ryan will be making his debut for the 1st XI in our game against Radlett 2s this Saturday, so let's all make Ryan feel at home here at the 'Wood and wish him every success for the 2011 season.

I would like to welcome you to another cricket season at Chorleywood Cricket Club. The season starts in earnest with a Senior practice game on Saturday April 16th. Winter training and net practice for Juniors and Seniors have been going well and end on the second weekend in April, with training starting on the Common in the following week.

Last year was one of our most successful seasons at Chorleywood with several Colts teams getting through to the County finals, and half of our six senior teams getting promotion to a higher league. Furthermore, we achieved re-accreditation of our Clubmark and ECB Focus Club status and published our Club Strategy for the next five years based on the three important pillars of YOUTH, FAMILY and COMMUNITY.

Following our AGM in November last, we elected a new Cricket Manager – Rohan Lee, and a new Club Events Coordinator - Jonny Rice. These appointments are welcome additions to our Management Committee. The three Honorary Officers of the Club, the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary were re-elected for another year, and most of the various Leadership roles, needed for the many aspects in running a cricket club, were filled. However, the Club always welcomes new faces and additional help from players, parents and friends would be much appreciated..

This year we are honoured by an MCC visiting team who will be playing our 1st XI in an all day match on the Common on Wednesday July 20th. On Tuesday May 31st we are hosting a County Under 15 Ladies 35-over match starting at 1pm and on Tuesday 28th June we will host a County Over-70s match – Hertfordshire vs. Sussex – both these events are firsts for Chorleywood. Then on Friday 29th July we host an Under-15 boys 50 over Area match – South West vs. East Herts. Some of our senior colts may be in the South West team. As in previous years, a Kwik Cricket Festival involving all the local Primary Schools will be held on the Common May 24th. On all occasions we shall have the bar open for spectators who we hope will be numerous.

As usual, the Club will have a series of events throughout the summer, details of which will appear on the website and in the Club Fixture Booklet; copies of which will be available in the Pavilion by the time the season starts.

This season we shall stop playing cricket on the Common after the league games finish in the first weekend of September. This is so that contractors can get to work on the square to start a 3 year programme to replace all the pitches. There will still be some Club cricket but all matches will be played Away.

So it just remains for me to wish you all a happy cricket season whether playing, officiating or spectating, blessed we hope, with good weather and plenty of sunshine.

Yours in cricket,

Owen Edis Chairman of Chorleywood Cricket Club

The 2011 season is fast approaching, the first game being on 16th April - which was certainly a surprise to me. As usual there are a number of jobs that need doing to get the Pavilion into a decent state for the season. To this end I am having paint in's / clubhouse job sessions on Saturday 26th March (next weekend) and Saturday 2nd April, starting at 9.00am and finishing at 12.00 midday. I will have all brushes and paint so you just need bring yourself and some dirty clothes. Last year only one person turned up to the first session (thank you Mr J Lyons) so here's hoping for a couple more this year.

I have already done a lot of the painting so there will be a lot of cleaning jobs Over the two weekends I would like to achieve the following :

- Paint Gents toilets (2 people for 2 hours) - Paint shower ceiling (one person for 1 hour) - Paint kitchen ceiling (one person for 1 hour) - Repair and Paint outside veranda (3 people for 3 hours) - Clean kitchen cupboards (yes - whilst the ceiling is being painted) - Clean windows and frames - General tidy up of ground around the pavilion.

It would be great if you can get to one session to help. If you are planning on coming, if you could e-mail or Owen to let me know then I can plan what to do before the day arrives.

The top five batsmen, as things stand, are:

5. In the clubhouse (as it were) with 554 runs - BEN BROOKS

4. The new kid on the block with 604 runs - can he finish on a high note - ROHAN LEE

3. Just into his twenties after his birthday, but with 656 runs to his name - TOM SMITHSON

2. The club captain, and until recently, leading run-scorer but now in second-place on 788 runs - RICH (or Ritchie if you're Owen) SOULSBY

1. Out in front, the man known in the Watford Observer as "The Run Machine", with 827 runs - SIMON DARE.

On the bowling front there's a two-man smackdown for the title it would appear (although maybe PETER DUNNING, who's currently on 41 wickets, might have something to say about that) - with two superstars riding high with 48 wickets apiece.

In one corner - he's seen off the young upstarts for years, it's MICK "ROSEY" ROSE. In the other corner - one of those self-same young upstarts - JAMIE "J-DOG" SMITHSON.

Who will come out on top? We'll know come sunset on 26th September. But in the meantime, good luck to you all.
