Help needed for SCC website!

We are looking for someone to take on the technical side of things, with regards to the SCC website, so are reaching out to see if anyone within the club has experience in the field of websites (or knows someone else who does). If you're familiar with terms such as, 'CMS', 'API', 'LAMP stack' and 'DNS', work in web-based software development and are able/willing to commit some time to help us run the website (with support in the transition period), please do let us know by emailing hannahjanekirby@yahoo.com.

After many years of incredible support of Shenfield CC, Susan Wright is stepping aside from running our website, and her son Doug from the development / technical side of it. The Wright family have been integral to the successful running of the club on and off the field for decades, and we are sure you will all join us in saying the biggest of thankyous to them for everything they have done for SCC.

Football World Cup — England Group Games At SCC

With the world cup just around the corner please see below for our plans to show England's three group games.

With it being a winter World Cup, it does mean we are limited with the amount of people we can fit in. At the same time, because of this we also need to make sure that people who say they are coming to watch do actually come. So, we will be doing a pre booked guestlist with money to be paid ahead of each match day.

SPACES AVAILABLE

• 60 ADULTS - £5 first drink free
• 20 KIDS (Under 16s) - free

If you would like to reserve your space, you will need to make payment in cash at SCC on Mondays 5pm - 11pm, or Saturdays 3pm - 6pm (or arrange with Roachy when booking.)

Tickets will be first come first served and your place will only be reserved once payment has been made. To book your spaces please email Roachy on poacher97@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp on 07952 498009. (Your ticket money is not refundable if you do not come.)

FIXTURES

• Monday 21st Nov - England v Iran, 1pm KO
• Friday 25th Nov - England v USA, 7pm KO
• Tuesday 29th Nov - England v Wales, 7pm KO

We are expecting tickets to sell fast, so get booking and your money paid in early to avoid disappointment!!

With the first game being 1pm on a Monday we are assuming that children will be at school, so we can have more adult spaces. If anyone knows if schools are planning a half day, please let Roachy know.

Thanks for your support!

John Cleverley

We were very sorry to hear, just recently, that John died on 15th April.

John was a long-standing and very active member of Shenfield CC.

Sadly, he hadn’t been well for quite some years.

Our thoughts go out to his wife, Linda, and her family.

Sam Bear Wins Jack Petchey Award

Sam has always been a great cricketer and has long been recognised as such within the Essex county setup.

This summer he has secured his place in the first team at only 15 years old and attended the prestigious Banbury festival, which is made up of the strongest players in the country in his age group.

He has become integral within the colts coaching set up....and is a lovely lad who is a credit to the club.

Trevor Bailey U16 Matchplay Final- 18^th 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.
