Trevor Bailey U16 Matchplay Final- 18th September
For the second consecutive year - and only the third time in the club's history- Shenfield Cricket Club have made it to the final of the 2022 U16 Matchplay competition. It will be held on Sunday 18th September at Brentwood CC starting from 12pm.
Facing a strong Maldon CC XI on Sunday in the semi final, Shenfield won the toss and put Maldon into bat. Some excellent bowling kept Maldon to 183 all out. In reply, Shenfield went about the run chase with confidence, 53 off 40 balls from Evan Ackerman and an unbeaten 40 from Max Toolan helped the team to secure the win by 5 wickets.
Shenfield head to the final to face another strong opponent, Harlow CC, who were the victors against Billericay CC in the other semi-final. The final this year will be played at Brentwood CC on Sunday 18th September, commencing at 12 Noon.
All members and supporters of SCC are welcome to come along and cheer on the team, in what promises to be a great game of cricket. - 24th August 2022

Message from Colts Chairman- Matt Pryor.
As we approach the end of another fantastic season at Shenfield Cricket Club, planning for the 2023 season begins. This year saw a record number of junior players join our ranks, which put extra pressure on our coaching provisions.

Further information on the course content can be found by clicking: Core coach briefing or if you would like to discuss any aspect of coaching, please contact me at matthewpryor@hotmail.co.uk
Without coaching staff, the club may have limit the number of junior players able to attend coaching sessions in 2023, so I would encourage anyone who is interested in inspiring our next generation of cricketers to follow the link below and book your place.

Played at Loughborough University between the 30th July and the 5th August, The Bunbury Festival, formally known as the ECB David English Bunbury Festival, is an annual cricket tournament for the best under-15 boys players in England.
First held in 1987, the ECB took over the running of the tournament in 2018, becoming the first stage in the ECB's Player Pathway to the England Cricket Team. The format will see 56 players divided into four squads and compete in both 50 over and T20 competitions.
As of 2018, 91 of the cricketers who have played at the tournament have gone on to play for England, including national team captains Michael Vaughan, Andrew Flintoff and Joe Root, while 10 of the 11 England players in the 2019 Cricket World Cup final played at the event.

We are sad to report that Peter Robins, former SCC player, has passed away. His brother, Phil, sent the message below.
I’m sad to let you know that my younger brother Peter passed away in Hobart, Tasmania last night. Peter was a Shenfield all-rounder from 1960 until 1970 when he joined us in Australia. He was a deadly in-swing bowler and a very good bat. He also captained the 1st XI. He captained Brentwood School 1st XI with David Acfield as his vice-captain. He played for Pembroke College, Cambridge University and Incogniti. When he came here he played District Cricket for Flinders University in Adelaide and the Australian National University in Canberra.
R.I.P dear brother and mate. July 1946 - June 2022. - 13th June 2022
