Casino Cricket Club

The school has again made it into The Cricketer Schools Guide list.
Entries were judged against an extensive set of criteria, which included a compelling commitment to cricket in the curriculum, facilities, fixture programmes and coaching.
When you look at the list it is clear that they are in some very good company!

There are some proposed changes to the Constitution which are shown in red on this document. Would members please read these as the revised document will be voted on for approval at the AGM.

A massive thank you to all local Shenfield residents and SCC members/players for their generous donations to the Daily Bread Café, our local food bank, on Saturday 28th November. We filled two car loads with food and took them straight to the Café, where they were gratefully received by the volunteers there. Thanks again for your support.

On behalf of the Chairman, we would like to invite all members, players and interested parties to dial in to the Shenfield Cricket Club 2020 AGM.
It will be held on Monday 7th December at 7pm by Zoom and the link and password to join are below:

For the first time the Club Conference Cricket Yearbook is available online.
See the 2020 yearbook here. There is a lot in it so it may take a little while to load.

Derek’s funeral will be on Monday 26th October, 12 noon at St Mary’s Church, Hall Lane, Shenfield. Restrictions will mean standing outside for some.

Durham County Cricket Club have announced that Shenfield’s Matthew Salisbury has signed a two year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2022.
Matt joined Durham in May 2018 and featured in every Durham first class and one day game until May 2019 when injury brought his unbroken run to an end. Although available again by late August his appearances since then have been less frequent, but he featured in three of the County’s Bob Willis Trophy games in the Covid-shortened 2020 season.
After his first season he was awarded Durham’s Breakthrough Player of Year trophy, having taken 44 first class wickets including the prize scalps of former international stars Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott.
Matt has now taken 95 career first class wickets at an average of 31.07 and a strike rate of 51.72. His best first class bowling performance is 6-37 against Middlesex at Chester-le-Street. Formerly of Essex and Hampshire, he now seems settled at Durham so, sadly, an imminent appearance in Shenfield colours appears unlikely! Here is a great photo of Matt.

In light of the forecast and potential for damage if left unprotected we are planning two shifts Thursday 10-12 and 4-6.If we’re incomplete we can go again (in the rain) on Saturday.
Please let Martin Ekers (ekers@hotmail.com) know if you can help.

We need to protect the outfield and require volunteers to help with posts and netting.
Please let Martin Ekers (ekers@hotmail.com) know if you can help. He will then arrange a couple of shifts so we can complete the task and stay safe.

We are sad to report that Derek died suddenly last Sunday.
At different times Derek captained the Saturday 2nd XI and the Sunday 2nd XI .
His bowling produced 5 five-wicket hauls, the best being 5-9 in 1988.
He was a Committee Member from 1973 - 1994, Hon. Secretary from 1978 – 1981 and Chairman from 1987 - 1994.
In 1995 Derek was voted in as a Life Vice-President.
Our sincerest condolences to his wife Jill and family.

Well done to Jack who took 7 wickets in his first 3 T20 matches for Essex. Watch this space next season!
