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.

It was a bright sunny morning for the U15 Wanderers down at Godalming CC. We were invited to bat and faced some spirited bowling from the opening duo of Daryl and Tomes. Zain looked in good nick but perished for 2 as a lofted shot was pocketed in the outfield. Charlie joined Sunny at the crease but they found it hard to move the score board along. Charlie succombing for 5 from a fast straight one. Shray moved to the centre looking nimble on his feet but a fast low one did for him. Jack then joined Sunny for the most successful partnership of the innings putting on 41 with some crisp 4s from both players and well run singles. Jack eventually went for 18 after a curious over from Beadell which had everything. Olly joined Sunny, who as captain had sensibly dropped anchor to shore up one end. Olly thrust and parried but went down to a close run out. Luke bounced in for a jaunty cameo but the end of the 25 overs arrived with Windsor at 85 for 5. Sunny left high and dry on 28 with memories of crunching 4s and sturdy defence.

Sadly it was never going to be enough as Godalming's opening duo got stuck into Zain and Charlie with an array of boundaries. Some order was restored, with some accurate seam bowling, and Zain's wicket gave them pause for thought. Sunny weighed in with two miserly overs including another wicket and Jack claimed the last wicket to fall. However Godalming's Dukes strode convincingly to 33 which brought them to the edge of victory. A damp squib of a bye saw Godalming grasps the honours but Windsor fielded well (a couple of stunners from George), bowled encouragingly and never threw in the towel.

Windsor kicked of their 2008 season with a remarkable win over Hurley in the Berkshire Under 15s Cup . Hurley won the toss and put Windsor into bat on a very slow out field but managed to score 97 all out, with Jeevan and Rhys Bryant both scoring 27 runs each, which set us up with a good early season score to defend .

We started well with Kristan Baumgartner bowling a maiden in his 1st over, we then took a couple of quick wickets which pinned Hurley down to 16 for 3 off 9 overs . By the time Ollie Jordan came to bowl the final over they still required 24, and as he has done on so many occasions claimed a wicket as well.

Never during the match could you tell that Hurley were in fact a year older, a n excellent performance by all.
