Thanks also to all those who came along to support the event. 

Big Prize Club

I would like to invite you to participate in the OWA’s Big Prize Club (BPC). For £10 a month, your name is put into a prize draw held 6 times annually. There are 4 prizes to win on each draw, the top prize being £850. 

The BPC is extremely popular with its initial subscribers, however, over time those numbers have decreased. With everything going at the moment (more of which below) the Big Prize Club has huge potential to make a very significant contribution to fundraising efforts as it typically raises over £7,000 a year.

If every member joined up we could raise 5 times that amount. I should be very grateful if you would take the time to visit our website and consider joining up.

Coffee and baps this Sunday

Please be reminded that there will be a full service Bar and Kitchen this Sunday morning and next, where freshly made coffees and breakfast baps and fries will be available.

If this trial proves there is the demand, it will become a regular service for the rest of the Colts season.

Cricket

They say that a week in politics is a long time, but the OWCC results last weekend prove the same can be true of their form. We have gone from the 5s winning and everyone else losing to (almost) the exact opposite this week.

First XI

The 1s bowled out Stoke D’Abernon CC 1s for 264 before they could chase down our 299 run target. 

Matt Somaru put on a splendid 94 with the bat, with opener Charlie Topley also racking up an impressive 64 runs off 71 balls. Charlie Flack led the wicket takers with his 3 for 57. 

A first win of the season lifts them one place in Division 2 to 8th, but with 6 teams being split by just 8 points in the middle order so to speak, there could be dramatic changes if we win against current league leaders Chipstead, Coulsdon and Walcountians CC 1s on Saturday.

Second XI

The 2s chased down a 167 run target set by Merton CC with 10 overs to spare. 

Kyle Van Tonder (43) and Krishmalkumar Joshi (51) did the heavy lifting with the bat. But it was really the bowlers as a collective that did the run containment damage, with a fairly even spread of honours. Sami Majid however took the biggest haul, with 3 for 35. 

The win lifts them into a comfortable 5th place in the Division 6 Central League.

Fourth XI

The 4s outscored Merton CC 4s, with the visitors being skittled for 117 before they could reach their 150 run target. 

Paddy Devlin showed that he is not just a pretty pair of gloves behind the wicket, scoring a fine 41 runs with 6 boundaries. The bowling honours were clear, with Sudharsan Rahmani picking up 4 wickets for a scroogey 17 runs. 

The win rockets them up to 3rd in Division 11 East Central.

Third XI

Sadly the 3s suffered a loss at hands of Spencer CC, however they did pick up valuable losing bonus points. 

The 3s fell just short of their 171 target, getting skittled for 167 but those losing bonus points keep them placed third in Division 11 East Central.  

Colts

Sunday saw 8 fixtures played across all age groups, but sadly the win ratio was not on our side with only 3 wins for the U8s, U9s and the U12.
