Dean Ahmad Deanplayed a handful of games for Shenfield in
2014 and 2015.
Will he now prove a handful for Lord Sugar in

Ground Renovation To protect the newly-sown grass seed the area has been enclosed and will need to remain so until the new grass is established.
It is anticipated that this will take 3 to 4 months, depending on the weather.
The area was excessively worn in places and hadn’t had any serious attention in 4/5 decades.
We needed to improve the quality of the surface for safety reasons. The poor surface caused cricket balls to bounce erratically, risking injury to fielders by virtue of the ball rising suddenly or keeping unexpectedly low. Additional photos here.

Our new Shenfield ladies team have started training, ready for a winter of indoor cricket matches. None had played before but all are learning rapidly.
Keeping wicket in the photo, below, is Ashima who is running the side. At first the team thought they’d been signed up for a softball league.
When they learnt it was a hardball league they had some trepidation, but here they with their first hardball session, taking it in their stride.
Their first match is against Hutton on Tuesday September 17th. Here's a photo of the ladies team training.
If you are interested in joining please contact Ashima Gupta at ashimafast07@gmail.com
The 5th team have also entered a side in the mens' over 40s league, with their first game on Thursday September 12th against Old Brentwoods.

Congratulations to Joel Ackerman who was won a Jack Petchey Award. Joel has been at SCC for nearly 10 years. He has always been a lively and enthusiastic team member who has improved every season

He coaches the younger children and is really good in this role, plays senior cricket for the 4s and enjoys the social side of the club.
He has a wonderful sense of humour, is really helpful and great to have around the team.
