Under 15

Having started the season coming third in the Surrey Winter Indoor Competition, only losing to the eventual winners, the team ended by losing to Slough in the league play offs.

A disappointing end to our competitive season having reached the finals day, in the Berkshire Cup, winning our West Surrey and Berkshire Divisions, both by wide margins.

Our outdoor campaign started well by winning the Inagural Camberley Six A Side Tournament going through the competition undefeated in icy cold conditions.

The game against County was a good experience and one that we would have tried to repeat in subsequent years had the boys not entered seniors.

Most significant win of the season was a hard fought game against Thatcham Town away, who fielded five Hampshire County players. The U15's restricting their hosts (who regularly scored 200+) to a score of 107 and then winning by seven wickets. Strong umpiring was needed and we were not let down by Rick .

Mark & I appreciate all the support received from the club during the season, in particular to Alex & Wes (coaching), James Jordan and Geoff Francis (umpiring) and especially Rick & Jacky Baumgartner (umpiring, coaching and away picnic's),

To all those parents thinking of getting involved with a colts team in the coming seasons I wish to say that despite the time pressures the rewards are very satisfying and well worth the investment.

Windsor should be very proud of those involved in the current U15 team and have every reason to expect great things from them in the future with the right support and quality coaching.

The season started well with two good wins against Royal Ascot and Valley End, then we went into the doldrums a bit with a series of losses against Woking, Slough and Staines, we then won the remainder of the games with the exception of an extraordinary game against Bagshot where virtually all players from both teams forgot how to bat with Windsor all out for 55 and Bagshot recovering from 12 for 4 to get to 56 for the loss of 6 wickets.

Overall some good performances with the bat with the team averaging 120 runs per innings with Conor Reeves scoring 265 from 10 innings with three 50 not out retirements, averaging 44, and Jamie Tuthill 255 runs from 9 innings with two 50 not out retirements averaging 43, Cameron Avery scored the quickest 50 (not out) of the season off only 15 balls (against Camberley), ably supported by Gareth George from the U13’s and Arjun Ghattaura, between them scoring 85% of all runs from the bat.

Some good bowling throughout the season with consistently good performances from the medium pace of Adam Richards and Salvin Dass and the spin of Cameron Avery and Gem Clough, with some notable spells Theo Evered, 3 overs 2 for no runs, Faizan Qureshi 4 overs 1 for 3 both against Twyford.

Four players have now played for the seniors at various levels including the emerging academy side which bodes well for the future of the club.

Representation this season:
Cameron Avery has been a member of the 2009 East Berkshire District U15 squad who won their Divisional competition.
Arjun Ghattaura has been a member of the 2009 U14 Berkshire County squad.
Jamie Tuthill has played 16 games this season for the 2009 U14 Berkshire County team as wicket keeper.

Jamie, Arjun and Cameron have all been proposed for 2010 U15 County trials, with Conor and Gareth proposed for 2010 U15 District trials.
