WELCOME

A Message from our Chairman

Hello all, and welcome as we kick off the 2023 summer season. I hope everyone has enjoyed a restful off-season and all are excited to be getting back to outdoor cricket. Let's hope for some decent weather...!

The Winter period hasn't been entirely silent on the cricket front, as this year has already seen our women's team compete in their first competitive fixtures (capped off with a maiden victory!) and participation at both junior and senior indoor nets has been great - our plan for growing an inclusive and welcoming club is progressing nicely. To give an indication of what this growth means, I'll turn to my best friend... numbers! This coming summer we're fielding six competitive teams, playing in 85 fixtures (that's excluding friendlies and festivals), and are scheduled to be hosting upwards of 43 matches on the Hill. That should definitely cover #CricketForAll... all supporters too! None of this is possible without the hard work and support of many people who volunteer their time to organise, coach, administrate, etc, so I'd like to offer a huge thanks to all who work to make this club what it is, you're very much appreciated! As ever, if anyone else fancies helping out, please don't hesitate!

You may also notice that this year we are being supported by a range of wonderful local businesses who have engaged with us as club partners for the season, in what we hope is a mutually beneficial relationship. We're extremely grateful to them for being so generous with their support, which helps enable us to provide the facilities and opportunities for cricket that we do - I'd strongly encourage all our members to repay them in kind with your patronage if possible! We're always looking to expand our ties with the local community, so if you know of anyone who may be interested in a similar partnership do get in touch.

This programme (we hope you enjoy it!) is one of the first of a number of new initiatives being put in place this season to better engage with all members and further build our club as a community. Others include the new fantasy cricket league (still time to enter, some bargains to be had!), more social events (curry club will be continuing) and more social media output. If you're not following the club's social accounts then please do... You'll also be aware that we've restructured how we collect match fees and subscriptions this year - hopefully this new approach is easier for all parties. We have some big ideas for improving the club's facilities (more at a later date) so your continued support is vital.

On a final note, I'd like to share my key desire for how we approach our cricket this summer and how we want to represent our club, whether it be training or matches. We're all ambassadors for Ruardean Hill, so play hard and play to win, but play fair and with RESPECT. Respect on the field and off the field, for the facilities, for opponents, for officials, and for team-mates. Win graciously and lose graciously (but hopefully not too often), enjoy the game and do the club proud.

Until next time, Up The Hill!

Cheers, Andy

Andy Pearce

A WORD FROM OUR CAPTAINS ADAM COLE - 1ST XI Last week saw us welcome 2nd place Stanway to the hill in what was looking to be our toughest fixture so far. We won the toss and for the 4th match in row, opted to bat, getting to 252-9. A quick start from Tax (38) set us up for a good total, followed up by a usual, classy 86 from Jayner and brutal 60 from Kerry helping us reach our total. We started our defence well with opening bowlers Jack Weaving and Andy O'Connell sharing 3 wickets in their spells, followed up with a tight shift from Kane (2-25) helping reduce the visitors to 152-5. A few dropped catches prevented us from picking up a couple more bowling points but we'll hopefully be back to our usual standards today as we travel to 8th place St Philps North.

DEAN WHITE - 2ND XI I can't fault the 2nd XI for the effort they put in last Saturday against Westbury. The team fought hard to stay in the game and still had an outside chance of winning it with 15 overs to go, but you won't win many games where you concede 50+ extras, and so it proved. On the plus side, our opening partnership passed 50 for the third successive game, Bobby looks in good working order with both bat and ball, Fred's off-spin is coming along very nicely and Riley clearly has both the nerve and skills required to be a death bowler. There's plenty to be positive about. Today we welcome Newent, who we defeated by 1 wicket in last year's fixture. Let's hope for another win, but a slightly less nerve-wracking one this time!

SAM WHITE - WOMEN'S What a week! The season has really kicked off for the women’s team with a double header at Cam softball festival on Sunday and a friendly against Aston Ingham played on a glorious sunny Wednesday evening. We won each of them. These wins are the result of a combined effort of hard work and perseverance which is really paying off. Special shout out to Kiera Daugreilh for her fabulous innings of 37 off 18 balls in the second game against Cam and Kay Moore striking 19 on Wednesday. We couldn’t be in a stronger place as we head to one final friendly against Tewksbury on Sunday and start the league against Newent on Monday. May the cricketing Gods continue to be on our side!
