Race Night and Club Matches, 27^th August:
This is our biggest, and probably last opportunity before the season closes to bring the club together across all memberships and ages. There will be two T20 games. The first, starting at 14:00 will comprise players from the 5ths, 4ths, 3rds and older Colts. There will be a wonderful tea before the second match, starting at 16:30, with players from 1sts, 2nds and guest players.
There should be a wonderful atmosphere.
The cricket will be followed with a brilliant, fun evening of horse racing.
After a lot of hard work by very few people, all nine races are sold out, and races sponsored.
All we need now is a good turnout and for people to place their bets.
If horse racing isn't your thing, then no worries - we can all still contribute to the day/evening and the prosperity of the club by: making a donation, backing a horse or jockey or just come along on the day if only for a few hours.
We do want to see the Senior Members, i.e. VPs and Life VPs of the club more regularly than the luncheons. Our club can only prosper with active support across all memberships, and, as senior members, your visibility is important in consolidating our supportive culture and therefore welcome your participation and contribution.

The Under 9s are amazing:
They will play in the Cup Final at Bentley CC on 3rd September.
The Spitfires squad still have two league fixtures to play, but are unbeaten so far.
With the Hurricanes unbeaten and having already won their league, the treble of titles is still a possibility.
The Under 13s are also playing in a Final on the same day!
All supporters welcome.

England manager at the double:
Shenfield CC's Life VP & England Counties Manager, Peter Rider, completed a notable double on Friday, when England Counties beat Australia 50+ in the inaugural 50/50 over Veterans International, played at Welwyn Garden City.
The victorious England side recently won the Cape Town Tournament Final at Newlands by 6 wickets, and repeated the victory by the same margin on Friday.
England Counties 50+ now set their sights on the 2018 International 6 nation Competition in Sydney, and are looking for sponsors.

Not long to go now until our Race Night on 27^th August:
This is a major, highly enjoyable fund-raising event.
We are looking for a sponsor for each of the 9 races, and although we have some commitments, we need a few more. If you, your company, or you know of someone who would be interested, please contact Stuart Borman or Steve Roach promptly so any advertisement can be included in the programme being printed very soon.
Equally importantly, we will need 8 Horse owners and 8 jockeys for each of the nine races.
Each winning owner will receive a bottle of bubbly along with his winnings, and a photo opportunity with the race sponsor beckons!
More details, including all the race times and the horses' names available here.

Shenfield Village Sign:
Today saw the launch of the Shenfield Village Sign depicting 2000 years of Shenfield’s history ,from Roman times through to the Crossrail Elizabeth Line. It was commissioned by The Shenfield Environmental Partnership.
Pupils at Shenfield St Mary’s C of E School and Shenfield High School researched the history and were asked for their ideas on design and what should be depicted. Both schools wanted Shenfield Cricket Club to be part of the design, which is why you can see stumps, bat and ball! Our Chairman, Andrew Maxwell, and his wife Linda were at the launch, along with a number of local dignitaries.
You will see the sign on the grass verge between Oliver Road and Holmwood Avenue.
Here’s a photo.

Much as we missed Matt Salisbury playing for us yesterday, we are delighted that he had a great day playing for Hampshire agains Warwickshire:
He took two wickets in his first over, including that of Ian Bell. which goes down as a good start in anyone's books! He also took a big six and a four batting at number 11 to ease his side beyond 500 runs. With Warwickshire 49-6 overnight they have a long way to go.
Well done, Matt!
