In the first newsletter of the year I said that we would build upon the successes of 2017 – I had no Junior Winter idea how true that statement would turn out to be!

Days of the week for each The development of our Junior section and its increasing participation in and age group tbc. contribution to our five senior sides is a fantastic testament to the talent being developed at EMCC by Dom Reed, his team of professional coaches and the many Senior Winter volunteer coaches we are so lucky to have at the club. To highlight some 2018 successes: It was particularly great to see the further development of our Girls’ section; Nets our U9 girls smashed almost everyone that they played and our older girls fought begin Sunday 27th valiantly in two hardball ‘boys’ leagues. Our older boys had some significant January for 10 weeks achievements; we won the Surrey Trust League for the first time ever with a team of U21s and we are also U15 Surrey Junior Invitational League champions.

A harsh and or just naivete from our young batters, is hard to disappointing end to what was a hugely positive say, but either way it was very disappointing to season, but it has steeled our resolve to win the bowl so well then fail to chase a relatively division next year and get promoted to the Prem, straightforward 165 on a flat pitch.

In the event, as the team captains explain in their reports, we did rather better than that. Although in the end the 1st XI could not sustain their tremendous early season form when they threatened to take Division 1 by storm, we can look back on 2013 as the year when we announced ourselves as one of the top clubs in the Keep in touch with all the I’Anson Cup competitions. latest club news A large part of the credit for our success goes to Paul Nash, who as 1st X1 and register for the new season captain has stage-managed the introduction of a new generation of young by visiting the players from our junior section into our senior teams, whilst also attracting club website: valuable new talent to the club from elsewhere.

  • 2020 Yearbook Troubling Times
    Inspiring cricketers to enjoy a lifelong love of cricket 2020 YEARBOOK TROUBLING TIMES t would be irresponsible of us not to say something about the present circumstances in which we all find ourselves. In the cricket world, we have only a minority part to play: there are far more serious I issues in the wider world. With sporting events being dropped like flies it was only a matter of time before cricket joined the list of those suspended by the spread of the Coronavirus. When sports all across the world suspend their playing schedules, you know that sport is not the prime consideration. This pandemic has been spreading at an alarming rate. It’s a very contagious virus. It’s a clear case of being safe, not sorry. The cancelling of major cricket matches is a rare occurrence and casts the sport back to the dark days of the two world wars. Test matches were suspended in early 1914 and didn’t resume until late 1920 because of the First World War. The gap in competition was slightly longer during the Second World War, stretching from August 1939 until March 1946. In the early stages of this pandemic, plans were being made to cancel everything for two weeks and then see if resumption would be possible. Now, as you know, all social cricket is suspended until further notice. In addition all schools were told to close with effect from the weekend of 20 March. Our first priority is the health and safety of our members and our colleagues. Perhaps this situation will clear itself up before the end of the season: perhaps it will last into next year.
