Sunday XI Vs. Banbury XX - Cancelled!

Sunday's fixture is OFF because Banbury XX are all at a wedding!? Attempts to interest our girls/women have been a failure. Plus, Derek's gone down with calf injury and Rob Astle's off somewwhere else. In the circumstances, Scoop is pulling the plug. There's aways the nets for those interested.

My Word it's Exciting on a Sunday...

Some of you may not be aware that the Sunday side has been involved in two titanic struggles over the last two weekends, both of which ended in dramatic last-ball finishes!

On the Sunday before last we needed to take two wickets in the last over in order to snatch a victory over Bampton. Jake Godfrey hit the stumps with his second ball and then clean bowled the number eleven with the final delivery of the match to claim an amazing win for Charlbury.

Three days ago, the team was involved in an even more extraordinary finish. We racked up 239-4 from our 40 overs, with Josh Hornsby making a superb 72 (a maiden half-century in senior cricket) and Andy Glass smashing a rapid 81. Broughton and North Newington were always behind the rate until their skipper blasted 48 not out in very quick time. Broughton needed 16 off the last over to win, and then two off the last ball. They scrambled an extra but Abi Currie calmly completed a run out as they tried to turn it into two and the match finished as a tie - phew! Charlbury should almost certainly have won the match but equally well might have lost it at the death so a tie was just about the right result in the end.

Read Scoop's gripping full-length match reports on the "Fixtures & Results" page of this website and see if the Sundays can make it a hat-trick of last-ball finishes this Sunday when we take on an RT Harris XI at Charlbury, beginning at 14.30. It promises to be another electric encounter...

President's Day and Official Opening of the New Pavilion

What a day! Our sincere thanks to all who made this day possible, the ground staff, catering team, bar staff, raffle ladies, barbecue man, the BBC reporter and cameraman, Oxford mail photographer, the teams (men and women) various club officials and of course to Henry Olonga who played for the President and officially opened the pavilion.
Great to see so many spectators and the football supporters who helped to boost the bar sales! and many 'old friends' of Charlbury Cricket Club who came to witness this historic occasion.
We are so privilged to have the ongoing support of the local community and appreciated the many compliments on our new pavilion, which is now up and running for the benefit of all who wish to use these great facilities.

Lost Property!

We seem to be collecting quite a lot of clothing etc and feel we should advise that we now have a "Lost property" container, which will be put out on the decking at the Tots and Youth sessions, so that parents can look through and claim what belongs to their children.
Anything unclaimed will be sent to a charity shop at the end of the season.
