Windsor Cricket Club

Junior Update - June 2nd 2006
Her e is a brief update to the Junior sides from the colt section of the club:

U13’s so far have just faced Rain Rain Rain, with three matches in a row cancelled.
A positive is that the squad is now over twenty players strong and attendance at Tuesday trainings has been great. Mention must go to Ollie Jordan (County) and Colin Thomson (District) whom have both made the respective sides this year.

U12’s have played 3 matches, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 rained off and are going from strength to strength with new players coming into the team under the guidance of Captain Rhys Bryant.

U11’s have played 5 matches, 3 wins, 1 loss, 1 rained off. Jamie Tuthill’s captaincy and wicket keeping is going from strength to strength whilst Arjan Ghattuaura still guarantees to provide a reasonable run-rate off limited overs and Sam Billingsley-Dadd always guarantees a wicket or two.

U10’s are struggling having lost both matches so far, nevertheless this is good experience for the U9’s who make up the U10 team with a special mention going to Jack Leach a competent U9 player who gave Sunbury a challenge both with his batting and bowling.

U9’s are also struggling having lost their first 3 matches although only by 3 runs on one game.

The Half-term Cricket Club has been a great success again with the usual format of intense coaching in the morning followed by a practice match in the afternoon and kids been dragged home by parents at the end. The coaching has been led by ECB Level 3 coach Tony Burrows, Sean Tehan (ACB Level 2 coach) and Arthur Cuthbertson (Berkshire Development Manager) with support from two older colts, Chris Kellard & Sam Jordan. Also this has bought the club 2 replacement spring return stumps, a crazy catch net and a plethora of balls for the bowling machine.

Additionally last week, Flicx donated various training kit to the club as part of the Cricket Foundation Raffle last year. This kit is in the back room for all to use, please don’t leave it out as it will walk. We’d like to thank all the colts who turned up on Saturday morning and to Flicx for giving bags.
