CWCC - U15 - County ChampionsNew!
U15 Hertfordshire Summer League - CWCC are Champions

On Wednesday 29th August, the U15s, comprising three U15s, five U14s, one U13 and two U12s, travelled to the main season county champions Hitchin for an U15 Summer League semi final.

Chorleywood won the toss and elected to bat first on a slow, green wicket. Runs were hard to come by with Hitchin's bowlers bowling very tightly, but good contributions from Charlie Caslake 25 retired, Charles Davies 18, Connor Scott 19 and Sam Tyler 15 ensured Chorleywood reached 98 for 6 off 20 overs.

In the first over, Andrew Wijegoonawardena bowled the Hitchin county U15 opener but a decent stand of 30 put Hitchin in charge. Two brilliant catches then turned the match Chorleywood's way; one at deep mid off by Naathan Shetty, the other a leg side catch behind the stumps by Ollie May. The Hitchin number 7 attacked the bowling for 25 retired but the rest of the Hitchin batters fell cheaply to Max Davies, Callum Scott, Connor Scott and Luke Sutcliffe. At 86-9 with 13 needed, Gene Tipping took the third great catch of the night off Charlie Caslake for a fantastic win.

The same Xl took to the field at Welwyn Garden CC for the U15 Summer League final against Braughing U15 on Sunday. Once again, Luke decided to bat first on what looked a good wicket. An excellent batting performance followed; Charlie Caslake and Andrew Wijegoonawardena put on 50 for the first wicket, both retiring. Sam Tyler then continued the good work and also retired before Connor Scott and Luke Sutcliffe accelerated the scoring rate; Connor scoring 26* and Luke a quick fire 27*. Chorleywood finished on 169-4, a formidable total which Braughing never looked like chasing down, losing wickets at regular intervals. The bowling and fielding performances were as good as the batting; two run outs by Charlie Caslake and Charles Davies (a brilliant turn and throw) and four smart catches by Luke, Charlie, Naathan and Ollie (another very good leg side take). Wickets were shared around; Max 2, Charles 2 and 1 apiece for Callum, Naathan, Connor and Luke, and Braughing finished 89 all out in the 19th over.

Mr Rex VineNew!
With great sadness we have to report the passing of Mr Rex Vine.

Rex passed away early Saturday morning in Stoke Mandeville hospital after a short illness His niece Nicola was by his bedside.

Rex was one of the true greats of Chorleywood Cricket.

He was held in awe by very many and had the respect of everyone.

He also was a neat footballer.

He was groundsman at the Club and was a local architect who drew up the plans for initial pavilion extensions.

He had been to watch the cricket match against Harpenden on 30th June and had been delighted to meet old friends and relate some of his stories to Chorleywood players of the current generation.

Our condolences go to all Rex’s family and friends.

Please watch the website for funeral arrangements.

U9 County ChampionsNew!
Chorleywood U9s are County Champions !

Our U9s led by manager Graeme Keith won a thrilling County Cup final on Sunday.

With 2 runs needed off the last ball of the match a 4 was hit to seal a magnificent victory !

In the semi final they beat Harpenden 237-9 v Chorleywood 277-5.

In the final they beat Watford Town 267-6 v Chorleywood 270-3

This is a fantastic achievement for the the team, both Harpeden and Watford were very strong teams and had not lost a match all season.

The U9s played exceptionally well and are worthy Champions.

Well done to all those who played in the final and to all the boys in the squad that made reaching the finals possible.

The victory is a result of a campaign started in late January with training every week and fantastic coaching from Graeme, Anthony Hall, Thomas Faulkner and Chris Boxall with plenty of parent help and support.

Well done all, the Club is proud of you.

Josie DacreNew!
It is with great sadness that I report of the sudden passing of Josie Dacre.

Josie was a great supporter of CWCC.

She had lived in Chorleywood most of her life and she was responsible we believe for opening the Sports Shop in Whitelands Avenue and giving discounts to local cricketers!

Josie's funeral wll be at Amersham Crematorium at 1pm on Thursday 18th October, and afterwards back at the house.  Parking will be limited.  Bright colours may be worn.

Josie will be sorely missed and our immediate thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Presidents XI v. CWCC- Sunday 17/9New!
Well I suppose the Presidents XI could say they were inhibited by the pre-match lunch provided by the Rose and Crown but nevertheless an excellent afternoon was preceded by the meal attended by Friends and Retired players alike. Thanks again to all who supported the event and particularly our President Mr Denys Downing for his generous sponsorship. (see Results for detail). Thanks also must go to the Rose and Crown (our preferred local hostelry) and Rhonda in particular for lunch.

August Bank HolidayNew!
The weekend was unbelievably busy, monopolised generally by men behaving badly. Sunday was Club Day with teams of 8 in fancy dress competing for a dubious honour. The Monday was Community Day when slightly more mature players who ought to have known better decided to play cricket for the one and only time this year. A good time was had by all and no serious injuries were reported from either day.

Andrew NealNew!
We are delighted to report that Andrew Neal has been called up to play for Hertfordshire against Lincolnshire in a Minor Counties Unicorns three-day Championship match at Cleethorpes. Andrew is the first Chorleywood player to represent Hertfordshire for over twenty years. The previous two players we know of who played for Hertfordshire were Rex Vine and Ian Mulholland. Andrew opened the bowling and his analysis was ten overs, one for 24. Lincolnshire won convincingly but we hope for more opportunities for our Mr. Neal.
