TRIPLE CHAMPIONS IN 2009!Welcome to the Sonning Cricket Club website.
The Club is located in the picturesque village of Sonning on Thames, just to the east of Reading, in Berkshire.
We are a very successful village cricket club, with our 1st XI winning Thames Valley League Divn 3a in 2009, Divn 4b at the first attempt in 2008 and the Berkshire League Premier Division four times in the previous 7 seasons. Our 2nd XI were champions of Divn 6b in 2009 and so our top two Saturday sides will be playing in the Thames Valley League at divisional levels 2 and 5 respectively in 2010. Our 3rd XI have been promoted to Division 2 of the Berkshire League and our midweek XI won Divn 1 of the Reading Midweek Evening League unbeaten in 2009 in their debut season. We also run a social side on Sunday with a full fixture list from April to Sept, and our summer tour to the Cardiff area is legendary!
In 2008 we started a junior section for 6-12 year olds, and in 2009 our Under 11s won Divn C of the Berkshire Youth Cricket League and our Under 9s played friendly matches. In 2010 we will be running Under 13s, 2x Under 11s and an Under 9s teams. Training for juniors is held on Sunday mornings at King George's Field.
We are a very friendly and sociable club which plays hard on and off the field and new players are always welcome, especially now that we are setting our sights on continued success in the Thames Valley League.
Please contact the Chairman, Ali Driver, for further details: ali@sonningdrivers.plus.com

Thank you to everyone who entered the World Cup sweepstake which raised a total of £325 for the Cricket Club coffers. The profit was inflated partly due to the Club drawing Holland and also to Peter Kay who kindly returned his win for drawing the team who conceded the most goals during the group stages.
Congratulations to Anners who after having his £20 forcibly extracted from him drew Spain and also to our esteemed head groundsman Stirk who drew 3rd placed Germany.

U11’s Qualify for BYCL Quarter Finals
For the second consecutive year the U11’s have qualified (with a game to spare) for the BYCL Quarter Finals having won all 8 of their games this season. The highlight of the season was a 16 run victory on 2 July at home against the previously undefeated Finchampstead.
Please come and support the team at the quarter final game (date yet to be agreed) which will be at home providing we can beat Kidmore End in our last league game at home on 11/7.

World Cup Sweepstake Rule Clarification
The prize for the team conceding most goals only applies to the group matches and not for the whole tournament.
So it is the team that has conceded the most goals after the 3 group matches. Otherwise it could be the team that also wins the Cup!

All members and anyone who you think might be interested.
In order to raise much needed funds for the club we are running a world cup sweepstake and I will be posting info on the notice board in the pavilion on Thursday night. It will be £20 per team and we will draw teams on Sat June 5th at 9.00pm in the clubhouse.
The prize money will be something like £200 for the winning team, £125 for the runner up, £75 for 3rd place and £75 for the team who concede most goals during the tournament. The £165 balance (assuming we can sell all the teams) will go in to the Club coffers.
I know £20 a team is a little steep but it does mean that approx £5 per entry goes to the club so please support it if you possibly can.
Anyone who can’t make it to the club over the next couple of weeks but who would like to enter can e mail me (r.anderson@andersonorr.com) to register and if they want to specify a number between 1 and 32 that would be good.
Regards
Richard Anderson

Random Cricket Trivia
A wicket with his first ball in Test cricket and no more after that- Dennis Smith of New Zealand who played in the first Test against England in 1932-33 bowled Eddie Paynter for a duck with the first ball and has never taken a wicket after that (because he was never selected after that).
