COLWALL CC V REDBOURN CC Saturday September 19th The Cricketer Village Cup final 2020, Lord’s COLWALL CC v REDBOURN CC OFFICIAL SOUVENIR PROGRAMME NEW Welcome ongratulations are truly in order at the arrival of the 2020 Cricketer Village Cup final. Not just Cfor the teams involved – Redbourn and Colwall – who have negotiated seven rounds (in Redbourn’s case) and many nervous moments en route to Lord’s. But also for the Herculean effort of getting the tournament going and to its climax in a season ravaged by the pandemic. It has been a tremendous feat of organisation by all at The Cricketer and MCC too. The experience of Redbourn – debutants in the competition – is what the Village Cup is all about. Cricket dates back to 1666 on the village common and the club was formed in the 1820s, aided by that famous scallywag – Lord Frederick Beauclerk. Beauclerk was a crafty cricketer and one of the founding members of MCC, who played for the club while also captaining ‘All England’ and being the vicar of nearby St Albans. Although, according to the current vicar of Redbourn, Will Gibbs, who also plays for the club, “Beauclerk spent most of his time playing cricket, dining and gambling and not much administering communion to parishioners.” The club has flourished and become an absolute centre of the community, hosting almost 300 juniors on summer nights, and numerous social events. They weren’t able to participate in the Village Cup until a rule change allowing slightly larger populations a few years back. They had to overcome three-time champions Reed in the first round and 1996 runners-up Langleybury in the regional final. Brothers Edward and William Hales double-handedly overcame Somerset’s North Perrott in the semis. Colwall meanwhile, whose ground has a stunning Malvern Hills backdrop, have had to grapple with long journeys and rain-ruined matches in their passage to Lord’s. The Reverend Gibbs spoke for all competitors when he said that reaching the final would be “a wonderful testimony to all the volunteers who have given up their time to coach the juniors (75% of Redbourn’s team are homegrown players) and run social events and do all the vital chores for so many years.” It is a shame that none of them can attend the game this year, so it will be the duty of all 22 players to cherish every moment of being at the Home of Cricket on their behalf. Redbourn’s appearance in the final is also a fitting farewell to loyal club member Gerald Corbett whose chairmanship of MCC comes to an end this year. Good luck to you all. I will be watching! Simon Hughes Editor, The Cricketer #nvc20 3 WHAT WE DO TABLE CRICKET Aimed at disabled 8-18 year olds, table cricket is a pan-disability form of cricket played around a table tennis table, with competitions culminating in a finals day at Lord’s.

It profiles the club, and I’m sure other clubs who have been there and won it will say it’s just a magnificent journey. We didn’t think we’d be in the Village Cup this year because of Covid, so it’s a real bonus.” And Berry is confident the team will bring the trophy back to Herefordshire. “If we perform anything like we did against Carlton Towers and Astwood Bank – who are very strong, good sides – then we will give ourselves a fair chance,” he says. “We’ll give it our best shot – I can assure you of that.” Colwall CC Whatever happens during the final, we know Redbourn CC a new name will be engraved on the famous, old trophy. Will it be Redbourn, the ambitious Lord’s newbies that have taken the competition by storm? Or will be Colwall, the seasoned challengers who have been dreaming of this day for years?

  • As Always, Our Season Wouldn't Occur Without the Generous
    As always, our season wouldn’t occur without the generous support of our sponsors. Rod & Cathy Pascoe from D&B Auto Electrics and Michael Adams at Golden West Holden have yet again helped to keep our fees low and enable us to provide equipment to minimise costs to families. Please think about returning the support next time you need automotive repairs or are in the market for a vehicle. In addition to our major sponsors, we have had generous assistance from a number of other businesses. If you require any of the services they provide, please ensure you consider supporting them as a show of thanks from our club. Presidents Report 2016 I would like to thank the Dubbo Rugby Cricket Club for the opportunity to be President of such a successful organisation. The previous president Steven Wheeler left me with a solid foundation and great executive to continue his great work - thanks Steve. Once again Rugby Junior Cricket has been a successful and strong club with multiple teams in each grade. Our junior development is going from strength to strength with Milo and U9’s producing many new players for the future. This development would not have been possible without Warren Saunders. Warren left us during the season to further his career in Sydney; he will be greatly missed as an organiser, great clubman and friend. The challenge for us as the ongoing executive committee is to continue Warren’s great work and keep the grass roots level strong. The current committee of Glenn Shepherd, Andrew Rose, Colin Harper, Donna Ambler, Dave Coote and Rachel Daly have done an outstanding job this year.

(a.k.a. the President’s Report) Welcome all to this year’s President’s report. Once again, I am proud to say it has been another successful season both on and off the playing fields. The season began in early October with our club nominating seven sides from U9’s through to U14A competitions. The club welcomed on board new coaches in Greg Cant U9’s and Shane Sissian U12B Rugby Blue. To date, the teams have performed competitively and Rugby will be represented in the semi-finals in all grades except the 9’s and 10’s as they don’t run semi-finals. To all the coaches, Greg Cant, Carl Jones, Shane Sissian, Glenn Shepherd, Peter Hennessy, Andrew Rose and yours truly a job well done. These gents give up their time each week at training and game days which is well appreciated. Of course teams cannot operate with an administration.

  • Get Sleep Or Get Stumped Sleep Behaviour in Elite South African Cricket Players During Competition
    GET SLEEP OR GET STUMPED SLEEP BEHAVIOUR IN ELITE SOUTH AFRICAN CRICKET PLAYERS DURING COMPETITION BY KAYLA MCEWAN Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science Department of Human Kinetics and Ergonomics Rhodes University Grahamstown, South Africa, 2020 Supervisor: Prof Candice Jo-Anne Christie Co-supervisor: Dr Jonathan Davy DECLARATION I, Kayla McEwan, hereby declare that the work on which this thesis is based is my original work (except where acknowledgements indicate otherwise) and that neither the whole work nor any part of it has been, is being, or is to be submitted for another degree in this or any other university. I empower the university to reproduce for the purpose of research either the whole or any portion of the contents in any manner whatsoever. Signature: ………………………………… Date: …………………………………….20/02/2020 Copyright © 2020 Rhodes University All rights reserved i ABSTRACT Introduction: Good sleep behaviour is associated with achieving optimal athletic performance and reducing the risk of injury. Elite cricket players have unique physical and cognitive demands, and must accommodate for congested competition and travel schedules (all of which increase the risk of disruptive sleep). Further, the political pressures and socioeconomic barriers in South African cricket could affect the sleep of the country’s elite players. Previous research in cricket has focussed on the impact that nutrition, equipment specifications, movement physiology and psychology could elicit on performance (where many professional teams hire support staff to supervise these disciplines); however, there is limited empirical application of sleep research in elite cricket players. Therefore, this study aimed to characterise the sleep behaviours of elite South African cricket players during periods of competition and investigate the relationship between pre-match sleep and cricket performance.
