Welcome to the Latest News section.
Hounslow innings declared closed
Hounslow CC have sensationally resigned from the Thames Valley League after it became apparent they would be unable to fulfil their fixtures for 2003. Due to the demise of Hounslow Cricket Club, the Thames Valley league have decided to make divisions 1, 5a and 7, 9 teams only.
that means that 1st, 3rd and 4th XI's will face 2 Saturdays without League Cricket. The dates are as follows
1st Xi - June 7th, August 9th
3rd Xi - July 5th, September 6th
4th Xi - May 10th (1st game), July 12th.
If the Captains wish to organise friendlies for these dates then please e-mail John Mullins - john.mullins@tvu.ac.uk
The issues regarding promotion and relegation remain the same. They seem to be relying on new members and the relegation issues from the Home Counties League, to resolve their numeracy problem in time for the 2004 season. Please see attached press release from tvlcricket.demon.co.uk
Fresh Challenge for Mid-Week Cricket
Due to the high amount of interest in the Farnham Royal Knockout Trophy, Windsor CC will for the first time be entering into the Berkshire Mid-week Knockout Trophy, providing more chances for those who want to play cricket in the week.
The Farnham Royal tournament which has seen entries from Windsor & Eton and Windsor Victoria Cricket Clubs, years before the amalgamation in 1995, will remain the priority of the club. However, this new competition does give us another opportunity for
silverware along with the carrot of prize money of £200 for the winner.
Carol Bullock
It is with great sadness, that I have to report the passing of Carol Bullock, wife of Phil and Mother to Andrew and Thomas, following a long fight with cancer.
Carol was the archetypal cricket widow, allowing Phil to play every Sunday aswell as organise the Windsor & Eton Colts section. Carol would also spend many weekday evenings and Sunday mornings ferrying not only Andy and Tom to their colts matches, but also provide transport for the likes of Andy Shields and myself which allowed us to play our cricket.
Carol was laid to rest at Slough Crematorium and it was warming to see so many club players and members at the service, showing to the family the high regard we held for Carol. On behalf of Windsor Cricket Club, I offer our sincerest condolences to Phil and the boys.
Red Rose Tandoori add spicy incentive.
The Red Rose Tandoori in Victoria Street have kindly agreed to renew their sponsorship of Windsor Cricket Club for the 2003 season.
In a break from tradition, however the Red Rose will provide a free ‘Sunday Special’ to the individual voted ‘Player of the Week’. The individual tasked with choosing the player of the week has yet to be sorted out, but it is likely to be either Deri, Smithy or Kitch. All of these are susceptible to bribery of the alcoholic variety.
New Players
It’s good to see that the new players to the club have fitted in like a hand into one of Nobseys batting gloves.
So a big welcome to Rob, aka Joely’s mate, to Matty Walklett and Tim Smith aka Alfie Moon, the Moon Dog, Moon shine, Alfred etc. No doubt his non-cricket playing mate Button Moon will will also enjoy the special hospitality enjoyed here at Windsor.
We are continuing to welcome new players to the club, so if you know of any cricketers who want to join then please let either myself or Dez know.
Cricket Festival
Our esteemed Chairman Mr Kitching, is currently undertaking a feasibility study as to whether we can rekindle the old Windsor Cricket Festival, last held here in 1994 (which incidentally was won by Windsor & Eton CC).
The basic theory is a four day tournament involving teams from around the country and maybe overseas. In the past we have welcomed teams from Durham, the Black Country in the Midlands., Holland and Italy.
Please let me know if you can take time off during August to play in at least one if not all the games over 4 days. If we get the numbers then we will get it on.
