WINTER NETS

Winter nets are up and running at Lord's, mainly on Wednesday evenings from 9-10pm. These are for both current and prospective players - new players are especially welcome. You must book a place by emailing Ollie Thorne at oliverthorne@stackhouse.co.uk and places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The charge is £10 per session.

Nets will be on Thursdays on 19 January, 23 February and 22 March, and on Wednesdays in other weeks up until outdoor nets begin at the end of April.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to announce that from November 2010, Turnham Green CC has merged with Polytechnic CC to play under the new name of Turnham Green & Polytechnic Cricket Club. Chairman Bernard Hughes says: 'This merger of the two oldest cricket clubs in Chiswick leaves us strongly placed to carry on our long cricketing traditions, unifying two clubs with the same ethos of playing competitive and friendly cricket to the highest standard, but with a sense of fun and community. We look forward to forging a strong, single identity over the coming months and years.'

Dinner and Dance

The annual Dinner and Dance Presentation Evening took place on 12th October. There was a terrific turn-out of senior players and colts, making for an excellent evening.

Prizes were presented by former club captain Lee Pooley. All the colts there on the night were awarded club caps and the medals and cups for each group were awarded in front of friends and proud parents.

First XI Player of the Year was awarded to Nawaz Ali-Pir for the second season in a row, marking his contribution to the team's promotion. Lester Belfon - absent on army training - was the Second XI Player of the Year.

The Olive Bostick Bowl - for the most outstanding individual performance of the season - went to Jim Banks and Wayne Thomas for the amazing last-wicket stand of 50 to win against Alexandra Park, a crucial match in the season.

The Hayburn Cup, awarded by the Chairman to 'a cricketer and a gentleman' went to Derek Baptiste, captain of the 2nd XI in the past few years, masterminding the rise from the 3rd division to the first. He is pictured here with coach, comedian and Underachieving Player of the Year, Kerry Christmas.
