2008 kit items available from taz direct

Problem with ordering WCC kit on the sporting spirit website!

Dear club members, It is with deep regret that I post this update


The company that owns the Sporting Spirit website, and which manages our orders and embroidery of WCC kit has gone into administration. This is company buys in bulk from Canterbury, and takes orders and embroiders to order for many clubs. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY MORE ORDERS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE


I am currently investigating how many orders are outstanding to which individuals money and items are owed.


I would also ask if each person who has ordered clothing AND WHO IS STILL AWAITING ITEMS, please send me an email with the items and cash value of what you are waiting for.


This in no way is linked to Canterbury of NZ, which is a separate company. I have asked Canterbury to advise of another embroidery supplier who can supply the same items of kit for us going forward, or if they can supply direct. As the garments are ‘standards’ there should be no issue of designs mismatching etc. Hopefully this new supplier will be up and running ASAP.


The sales manager of sporting spirit assures me he did not know of the ‘behind the scenes’ issues the directors had with the company finances.


I will send you all an email update as soon as I have got one, and I have discussed with James Jordan the issues we face


Please accept my apologies, but I am just passing on bad news (please do not shoot the messenger…….)

The Captains

Windsor Cricket Club looks forward to a big season

Saturday 9th May sees a big day in Windsor Cricket Club recent history as we look to field 5 teams in the Thames Valley Cricket League. Sarab Oberoi will lead his all-new 5th team out onto the field of Division 9 battle as the expansion of the club continues.

In the first eleven, Wes Nichols enters his second season in charge full of expectation for his young side. With a balance of experience and youth, the premier Windsor side possesses a fine balanced look with Nichols enjoying many different bowling options and an attacking batting line-up. Coupled with this is the fact that the team is arguably the best fielding side in the division. This blend will see Windsor entering its fourth consecutive campaign in Division 2A playing against local rivals of Datchet and Burnham 2’s.

The second eleven has a new captain in Brian Davis, who hopes to make use of his experience to help guide the side towards a return to Division 3.The aim will be about getting the most out of the senior players within the core of the team whilst looking to develop the games of club’s talented youth core.

The third and fourth elevens will also continue to help develop the club in similar vein. The third team will start the season in level 6, after gaining promotion last season through the success of the 4th team. With the side containing a wealth of experience, a lot is expected of the 3rd XI and it is hoped that the recent addition of new seamers will help provide captain Richard Noble with a balance bowling attack to support the strong batting. Andrew Doree’s 4th team will look to repeat the feat of 2008 and aim to win their division once again. After convincingly winning their league in 2008, league rules saw them remain in the same division whilst the third team enjoyed their promotion. The aim here will be repeating last year’s feat.

The Windsor Cricket Club colts section continues to enjoy great success and is expanding every season. The testament to this is the volume of young cricketers (under 9 years old) who train on a Saturday morning. Many of those youngsters looking to emulate their senior counterparts in the future and play in league cricket on a Saturday afternoon. On the whole the club runs sides from age 8 through to 17 and all are welcome.
