Notes

Players may be nominated for representative cricket in Essex or Cambridgeshire if they are considered ready to perform at such a level. However, playing at this level relies on commitment as well as talent. If you feel you would like to be considered or if you feel you or your parents cannot make this commitment, please speak to your manager.

Highest batting average min. 5 innings/Lowest bowling average min. 10 overs. Please note that a more accurate picture of performance can be gained the more overs bowled or the more innings batted. A low minimum has been chosen to involve as many players as possible in the statistics. Overall batting and bowling awards are made by managers in consultation with coaches and others. There are no definitive criteria.

Club caps awarded to any established Academy player taking 5 wickets in one match (including 5 stumpings and/or catches by a wicket keeper), scoring a century, playing at County level or being a first choice selection for the senior SWCC teams or village teams with whom SWCC have a formal arrangement. From 2009 Club caps will be awarded to girls for taking 3 wickets or catches and scoring 50 in a match as well as for County or adult selection.

Players’ Player may be awarded on the basis of Player of the Match nominations or a vote amongst other squad members.

Academy records have been compiled since 2003. There may well be superior performances before that – just let us know.

The Alfred Adams Batting Award. Alfred Adams scored 279 not out by batting all day against Bishop’s Stortford for SWCC on the Common on 11 July 1837. At the time it was the highest recorded individual score in the country. Fiona Harris was the first woman to play competitively for SWCC in 2002. She still plays for SWCC when she can. John Smith first played for SWCC in 1946 and retired in 1963 at the age of 35. He lived in Chelmsford before he passed away in 2009. He is the tallest of the team in many of the clubhouse photos of the 1950s and 60s.

Academician of the Year is awarded to the academy player who has made the strongest commitment to his or her own development and to the work of the Academy and Club. It may be related to the “Clubman of the Year” award for each age group.

Jack Petchey Awards are given for outstanding personal achievement. Winners receive a certificate, a medallion and £200 to be spent on the club.

We currently do not issue individual medals or trophies, preferring to issue certificates. This maximises involvement and keeps costs low. However, sponsors for individual trophies shown on the previous page are always welcome.

Manager Peter Hill Coach Kevin Duers Captains Ollie Barnes, Spencer Hill & Tom Middle

Review of season: A disappointing and frustrating season compared to the previous year, with form picking up just when the season was over. The u13s competed in three leagues this year – winning the West Essex (North) league, coming 2nd in the Essex-wide Peter Coe Cup (league format), winning 3/4 matches actually played and 5th of 5 in the Cambs Premier League. Without playing a game the boys reached the final of the West Essex cup only to be beaten by their arch rivals High Roding in a ‘double header’ which was also the 1st round of the County cup. 10 matches were not completed, 6 of which were conceded by the opposition!

13 Squad Crocus

Manager Annette and Paul Coach Kevin Duers Leeman Hugh Parmenter Ben Nash Captain Vice Captain Review of season This was the first season of competitive cricket for the Crocus squad. Tournaments involved Springfield, Harold Wood and South Loughton. Games have been played in a marvellous spirit but they have also been competitive. The tournaments built on the good work of Kevin Duers as coach. Kevin ran sessions at Saffron Walden County High School and Newport Grammar School. He also ran Crocus sessions as part of the Academy winter and summer programmes. We are indebted for the support we have received from Essex County Cricket Board and the saffron Walden County High School Sports Partnership. Sadly the latter has become a victim of funding restraints imposed by the government. The Crocus section is looking for a sponsor as a result of this.

17 Squad under 10

Manager Kevin Wendelken / Helen Harris Coach Mark Hughes Duncan Pluck / Simon Cooke Captain n/a Vice Captain n/a Review of season This was an excellent season for the U10 squad. 33 boys represented the club in both the CYCA and WEDCBTL . We put in a creditable performance in the latter playing 4 matches winning 2 and losing 2 by narrow margins in both cases. However, the high point of the season was winning the CYCA league by winning all 8 matches played. This was an excellent performance especially as this was achieved whilst rotating all the squad members into the team for each match.
