SARACENS v WASPS (@ Wembley) for £5.00!!New! |
We have received details of a cracking offer to see some Xmas rugby on the cheap, courtesy of Saracens via the Herts League:
"Our Major Sponsor Saracens are offering members of the Saracens Cricket League some good old Christmas cheer…. Tickets for £5 for the Wembley fixture against Wasps on Sunday 26th December with kick off at 14.45.
This offer is exclusive to the SHCL membership but is for the first 250 ticket sales only and seats for these tickets will be in one block at Wembley.
In order that this offer benefits Saracens as well as the league, we (the league) will have to commit to the purchase of the 250 tickets and then distribute them
on a first come first serve basis to the clubs.
If the feedback from you, the clubs, is positive then we the league will make the commitment to purchase and distribute the tickets on behalf of Saracens.
This is a fantastic offer to watch a cracking local derby at one of the best stadiums in the world – it will be a great afternoon with entertainment for all the family."

Runs & Wickets Chases - The final lap!New! |
With one weekend of league matches (and five friendlies) left in 2010, who is your money on for the top run-scorer and wicket-taker for this season?
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.

Strategy and MissionNew! |
To all members and friends of Chorleywood Cricket Club,
Please click here for a document describing the kind of Club we want to be
over the next 5 years. We have already started this journey by replacing our
practise nets (as can be seen on Page 6 of the document). Our next project
is to improve our cricket square and replace our pavilion that is nearing
the end of its life. Our Club is a progressive and vibrant cricket club,
but this depends on there being enough members supporting all that needs to
be done to make it so. Also please click here for a simple summary of our
mission and
vision that is encompassed within the document. I hope you will find the
strategy worth reading and support its implementation.

Peter HarmonNew! |
It is with great sadness that we announce that long time supporter of the Club and social member Peter Harmon (72) died suddenly yesterday.
He was last at the Club on Past Members Day the Sunday before last. Peter and Jean have been associated with the Club since the 1970s when their son Mark played as a wicketkeeper in the Colts. Now their grandson Luis joined the Colts this summer. Our sincere condolences to Jean and the family.

SubscriptionsNew! |
Apparently there are still quite a number of players who have yet to play their Annual Subscriptions - despite a number of reminders and (very clear) instructions on how to do so. If you are one of them, please can you pay up as quickly as possible - this is one of the major sources of revenue for the club that we need in order to keep everything running as it should be.
To emphasise this - all captains have been asked to prioritise the selection of players who have done the decent thing and paid their subs over those that have yet to do so. So - if you haven't paid yet, please do so as soon as possible - you owe what you owe!!!

The next England matchNew! |
As you may have heard, England will be playing Germany in the last 16 of the World Cup on Sunday afternoon. As a result, the Strollers game vs The Red Lion in Chenies due to take place on The Common on Sunday will now start earlier, immediately following the Colts Under-14 match v Tring Park.
The Strollers game itself will be a 20-20 affair and we will then be showing the football in the Pavilion. Mike Norris from The Red Lion will be suuplying some food (inc a BBQ) following the final whistle to help everybody celebrate England's glorious victory.
So, if you can, do come along to The Common on Sunday for what will hopefully be a great afternoon for everybody (except the Germans).
