    One of the most memorable matches in the history of Woking and Horsell Cricket Club boiled up to an incredible last ball victory at Chertsey last Sunday. Despite several injuries Woking’s side was by no means weak, due to the popularity of th...
  • Murphy’s law – Chertsey’s mauled [Woking News & Mail]

    A century from Peter Murphy and some good spin bowling form John Crowe and Peter Craig enabled Woking to round off a good weekend with a comfortable win over Chertsey on Sunday. The early part of the Woking innings was relatively sedate with Murphy...

  • 1st XI vs. Southern Railway and Kenley - 15 August 2009

    With the end of the season in sight and our promotion aspirations still firmly in our grasp we hosted SRK at Brewery road. With another excellent pitch prepared by Couch we were keen to win the toss and bat and set a large total for SRK to chase, the toss...
  • Sunday XI vs. Bank of England - 9 August 2009

    There can’t be many fixtures that have the batsmen salivating as much as Bank of England away – the sort of deck that would see Smithy smiting Curtly Ambrose on the up through cover, then reverse sweeping the inevitable follow up bouncer. ...

  • 3rd XI vs. Weybridge - 8 Aug 2009

    The match was played on a sunny afternoon at Reeds School in a wonderful setting on a beautiful track for batting with a lightening quick outfield. Weybridge won the toss and not surprisingly elected to bat....
  • 1st XI vs. Farncombe - 1st August 2009

    The weather was terrible, I lost the toss and we were put into bat. Jan and Toby started well but then a regular flow of wickets for the opposition bought James and I to the crease, we slowly re-built our innings and with a splendid maiden 50 for the club...
  • 1st XI vs. Valley End - 18 July 2009

    So it was our return match against the unbeaten Valley End cricket machine, and I must say straight from the beginning nothing went according to plan. Our thought was to bat hard and long and set Valley End a target they would have to chase, with our spi...

  • Win, Lose or Draw

     This was another Sunday nail biter. Captain Matt remains in bed, Smithy remains in Philadelphia on business and the troops had to contend with Billy as Captain. First thing – win the toss and bat – achieved Opening partnership of above...
  • Twenty 20 campaign fades at Semi Final stag

    Woking and Horsell's 20/20 team's brave campaign ended last wednesday with defeat against a very strong Valley End side. A total of 117 on a pitch with a lightning fast outfield was never going to be enough. Many batsmen got a start but no one past 20. T...

  • Whilst England were timewasting in Cardiff

    This week, Smithy was not in Philadelphia on business and he took the reins for the visit of Worcester Park. Disagreements ensued over the format and number of balls. We ended up in a timed game with one ball - making for a few grumbles right from the sta...

    In typical English weather we set out to try and gain some momentum leading into the second half of the season. With some players showing good form and others starting to hint at their potential we took on Maori Oxshott at home.   Surprisingly it p...

  • 1st XI vs.. Sinjun Grammarians - 4 July 2009

    A Truly remarkable batting display. It’s pretty much the only sentence I can use that still sums up the days play. Jan (92 from 67), Tom and Toby were supreme. But I am getting ahead of myself. I luckily managed to win the toss with a side selected ...
