Woking & Horsell Cricket Club

Woking and Horsell Cricket Club are holding a Family Fun Day this Sunday 5 July to celebrate the official opening of the new nets.

The entertainment starts from 1.00pm, with the nets being officially opened by former England Test Legend Sir Alec Bedser CBE at 3pm. During the day there will be two six-a-side cricket tournaments run for all ages eight and above. Other attractions include:
 

• speed gun operating in the nets to test your bowling
• bouncy castle and jousting for the kids
• bar inoperation throughout the day
• barbecue for a great summer lunch

Please come down for the day and bring your family. The club needs your support to make this a fun and successful day.

The new nets are now complete! After 5 days of fortunate weather the nets were able to be finished on time and within budget. A very big thank you to Steve Wernberg for putting the effort in to get the construction organised and keep it managed. Thanks also to our tireless groundsman Charlie Johnson, who was instrumental in facilitating the works throughout the week.

The new nets include a full length track with proper bowling run-ups. As an added bonus the existing nets have now also had bowling run-ups added as well - it's even all marked out!

The nets should be ready for use in the next few days. You can find some photos of our fantastic new facilities here.

The new Twenty20 section is now active. Match reports from the mid-season series are available through the Seniors section of the top menu or by clicking here.

Woking and Horsell's 20/20 XI had an excellent start to their Frank Binks campaign last night with a thumping 65 run win over the Woking XI.

An early blitz from Malcolm and Jerry saw the team hit the heights of 56 for 1 off 5 overs and after a small middle order blip some cultured hitting from Charlie and Digby towards the end enabled us to post a total of 157 for 6 off 18 overs.

Tight bowling from the start - Henry Peters opening up with a maiden - ensured that the oppo were always well below the run rate and as a result wickets fell regularly. Charlie added 3 wickets to his runs with Damo and John taking 2 apiece aided by some fine catching. Woking XI ending up 92 all out (full match report to follow).
