From Steve Palfeman (an ex-captain and a Vice President) - 'A neighbour call in yesterday with a poem written by his wife. It was apparently inspired by seeing the shutters down on the pavilion last week'
Over
The cricket pavilion is closed.
The season is ended you see.
The past weeks have seen
Many games on the green
And the wives provided the tea.
People sat on their chairs in the sun
As the scorer recorded each run
And the sound of the 'splat'
As the ball hit the bat
Echoed on 'til the summer was done.
It's not quite autumn yet - but
The shutters are up on the hut
And it has to be said
There is nothing so dead
As a cricket pavilion that's -
SHUT.

| 20TH AUGUST - CHORLEYWOOD PLAY AT LORD'SNew! |
|
The Club have been given a once in a lifetime chance to play a match against MCC at Lord's.
Following an invitation from MCC to selected Clubs to purchase tickets for the Test match versus Zimbabwe at Lord's (22nd May - 26th May), Chorleywood took up the opportunity and bought an allocation which gave us two entries into the Draw. At last week's MCC AGM, President, Sir Tim Rice, picked us out as the lucky Club.
Although details are to be finalised, full facilities will be available, i.e. bars, boxes, announcers, scoreboards, pavilion facilities, etc. The MCC side is expected to be a strong one with players like Mike Gatting in the frame, so put the date in your diary, cancel the holiday and tell
your friends. Lets' see if we can fill the place!!

| Chorleywood Sign Up Auckland StarNew! |
|
Due to Luke Vivian being unable to travel to the UK for a further few weeks,
the Club have been able to recruit the services of Rob Lynch from Auckland.
Rob made his debut for Auckland in the State Championship last winter,
batting at No. 3 and keeping wicket. He is rated very highly by those that
know him. He has represented New Zealand Under 19 and is a good friend of
Luke's and was recommended to the Club by Clive Radley who had Rob on the
MCC Young Cricketers in 2000. He played in the Surrey Championship last
summer.
Rob will be shacking up with Sacha Hatteea until he returns to NZ in mid -
August. Hopefully Luke will be with us by then.

| Rocky saves KittyNew! |
|
Chorleywood cricketers, as well as dog lovers, will appreciate this story. Kitty, who is well-known around Chorleywood Cricket Club was recently very sick and on the verge of dying. But owners Andy Orange and Jo Hine insisted the vet made every effort to save her rather than just putting her to sleep. Kitty had her spleen removed and was very poorly after the operation with little chance of survival and the vet said she needed a blood transfusion urgently.
Up steps Rocky, the Rose family’s dog, also well-known around the cricket club, and donates 450millilitres of ‘fine, young, fit blood’. This saved Kitty’s life and her recovery is coming along well. Thanks to Rocky she literally has a new lease of life. Kitty, with a bit of Rocky in her, Rocky and the two cricketing families are reported to be over the moon!

| David WebbNew! |

Our well known and esteemed umpire, David Webb has not been well for the last few weeks and is now in Harefield Hospital awaiting a triple bypass operation. This is due for Wednesday, 24th April 2002.
I am sure we will all be thinking of David and wishing him a speedy recovery and rapid return to the square to carry on the umpiring that he loves. I am sure that he would appreciate hearing from Chorleywood members and any best wishes can be sent to 54 Woodland Drive, Watford, Herts WD1 3BZ.

| Player ProfilesNew! |
|
I have improved the player profiles section. There are nice little bar charts showing frequency of scoring runs and taking wickets etc. Also added a 'Summary' Profile which shows details from all seasons without listing every game.
Look at Luke for a good example of the charts!
Good luck for the coming season!
