On Sunday 22nd May our Under 9 girls team played in their very first softball tournament. The festival was organised by Oxfordshire Cricket and hosted by Warborough & Shillingford CC.
The first game was against Tiddington CC and was the first game our Dynamos had ever played, they did really well but fell short of the win. We then played on of the Warborough teams. This game the girls wanted to improve on their bowling and fielding, which they did and as a result they came closer to a win. The final game was against the other Warborough team, this time the girls wanted to improve their batting, specifically running between the wickets. Again the improvement was noticeable during this game and throughout the day.
The girls may not have come away with a win but to have played their first ever matches and, to be able to say they were the first girls to play as a Girls Under 9s team at Charlbury is a very special achievement. It was great to see a glimpse of what the future of Women’s cricket will be like!
As a special memento of the occasion we had some customised mini bats made for the players.
Special Thanks to Chloe for coaching the girls on the day!
We are very excited to be running both the All Stars and Dynamos programmes again this season. Both programmes will start on Friday 6th May and run for 8 weeks.
All Stars is open to boys and girls aged 5-8 years and will start at 5.30pm – the link to make a booking is HERE

The final match of the Oxford Indoor Cricket Division 2 took place today and saw Charlbury win their game against Stanton Harcourt CC, this meant that they were unbeaten and ran out trophy winners! Congratulations to all the players that have been part of the team during the competition. A good start to the 2022 season! 
After a long wait due to the many COVID disruptions, we are really excited to announce that the FIREWORK NIGHT will be back in 2022!
It will take place on Saturday 5th November, save the date and share with your family and friends.
The women’s team celebrated their achievements at their end of season get together last night. There was plenty of pizza’s eaten, drinks drunk, quiz questions answered and trophies presented. All the players who had represented the team in the games contributing to the league win were presented with a medal as a memento. There were also awards presented as follows:
There was also a gift for Abi Flory, who had captained the team to both the Super 8 & League successes. The team are looking forward to getting back to cricket with the Oxfordshire Women’s Indoor competition hopefully coming soon!
