I am going to be placing a follow up order for the new kit items after the weekend.
This is mainly because I have run out of the smock tops and have enough people interested to merit a re-order.
So - if you want a smock top let me know ASAP giving me your chest size in inches.
I'm also going to be topping up our shirt supply, so if you are wanting a shirt in a size we have not stocked let me know - Scott, I've already stuck a 5xl down for you.
Cheers

The following is an article Ali submitted to the Parish magazine -
Sonning CC – there’s good news and there’s great news!
The good news is that the 2008 season is underway and a sense of excited anticipation surrounds the club, not only because we have attracted 20 new players during the close season, but also because amongst them are current Australian Under 19 squad member Cameron Gannon and SE Transvaal Under 19 Retief van der Walt. Cameron is a 6’ 6” opening bowler for Queensland Under 19s and having faced him bowling “gently” in the nets, I have no doubt that he is going to terrorise our opposition in the Thames Valley League this year. Retief is a young batsman with great technique who is highly likely to get a “shed-load” of runs for us this season, to coin a technical cricket term.
The great news is that the existing Charvil Junior Cricket Club is joining forces with Sonning Cricket Club for the coming season to establish childrens’ cricket in the village. The club will meet at King George’s Field every Sunday from 1st June until 31st August 2008 between 10.30am and 12 noon. This section of the club has been created to make cricket available to local children between 6 and 13 years old and we already have a list of about 30 youngsters who are interested. This year, we will be playing Kwik Cricket (soft bat and ball) for the youngsters, with older children getting the opportunity to play with harder bat and ball if they wish and are ready. We are also in the process of arranging some matches for the older children against comparable clubs. Both boys and girls are welcome to come along. No formal cricket dress or equipment is required, although we do ask for predominantly white clothing and no football kits please. If you are interested in enrolling your children for this, please contact Nick Ray on cricket.charvil@ntlworld.com for a registration form and further details.

Random Cricket Trivia
The shortest Test in terms of balls bowled that had a result was the final Test of the 1931-32 series at Melbourne when Australia (153) beat South Africa (36 and 45) by an innings and 72 runs. The shortest Test in which there was any play at all was the abandoned West Indies-England Test at Kingston in 1997-98 which was called after 61 balls during which time England limped to 17 for 3.

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 the Berkshire League Premier Division 4 times in the last 7 seasons and finishing runners-up in another two. We run three league teams on a Saturday and starting in 2008, our 1sts and 2nds will be playing in the Thames Valley League at divisional levels 4 and 6 respectively. Our 3rd XI will remain in the Berkshire League and we also run a social side on Sunday with a full fixture list from April to Sept.
We are a 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 early success in the Thames Valley League. Please contact the Membership Secretary, Sarah Baker for further details.
