A delightful revue of the club, published in the Independent,
can be read by clicking here
   ....The six acre - site boasts a well appointed club-house, new electronic scoreboard, parking facilities that would not disgrace a first class arena and a ground that matches many a top arena anywhere in the country. The square is home to an incredible 19 pitches - more than some leading counties  - and with the boundaries 80 yards deep on each side of the wicket it is little wonder that from east to west the ground measures 220 yards- appropriately enough in such a racy setting, a furlong.....  If the opinion of Huntingdonshire's opener Wayne Larkins is anything to go by, he quality of the pitch used was as good as any track he has batted on in his long career with Northamptonshire, Durham and England....."

James Phillips in Oz
'I arrived in Queensland at the beginning of October to play the season for Redlands Tigers in the Brisbane grade competitions. Since then I have had the opportunity to play and train in very different conditions to back home which has been very beneficial. It has also been good to play both one and two day cricket which require a variety of different skills. Before Christmas I worked my way up through the grades and played my first game for the 3rd grade team last week against University of Queensland and scored 65. I have been working hard on my game during the week with Blair Copelin, former Challow player and head coach at Redlands, who has been a massive help for me. During November I had the chance to bowl at both the Australian and West Indies players for a couple of days leading up to the Brisbane test match which was a great experience. Happy new year to everyone, have a good pre season and I look forward to returning home in March ready for the start of the new season.'

Club Dinner

A big thank you to all those who came along and supported the CCCC Annual Dinner and Awards Evening – it appeared that a good night was had by all!! 
The evening saw a fantastic meal provided by Coleshill Caterers, a ‘short’ resume by JP, and the evening was rounded off by an entertaining insight into
his career as a journalist/broadcaster by Ralph Dellor.  We hope to repeat the event again next year, probably in late September/early October – any feedback or suggestions from anyone would be most welcome.


 JP attends the OSCAs

 John Pilcher was rewarded for his many years of hard work at the club when he attended the 2009 OSCA’s ceremony at Lords in early October. 
The NatWest OSCA’s (Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards) recognises the volunteers in clubs, leagues and boards who make the game the success that it is.  Each county invites nominations from its clubs during the season and then selects County Winners in seven categories, these winners then attend the National Ceremony at the historic Lords Cricket Ground where the shortlisted few are presented to the assembled masses.  John was nominated in the ‘Behind the Scenes’ category – one of many at the club who could have been put forward for this award.

Challow benefit from new mower

It is with great thanks to the ECB Machinery Fund that we were able to take delivery of our new outfield mower in mid August.  The new John Deer ‘triple’ will allow Weed to cut the outfield in a fraction of the usual time, and may even see some more grass being brave enough to show its face!  The new mower was purchased thanks to the grant aid scheme that is only open to Clubmark Accredited Focus Clubs, and contributed 75% of the cost of the mower – some £6000.


Challow & Childrey have become the 14th club in Oxfordshire to be awarded the Clubmark accreditation from the England and Wales Cricket Board and Sport England.


The award recognises the "safe, effective and child friendly" practices within the club. Challow's Clubmark manager Steve Penney said: "The main benefit is the profile the scheme brings and the positive messages it sends out about the quality and safety of the club's junior section." Oxfordshire Cricket Board chairman Chris Clements, who presented the certificate, said that Challow should be commended for their approach to club development.
The 100 Club
The 100 Club has been running for over 10 years and has provided much needed funds for the club.The recently completed extension to the changing rooms has created some financial pressure within  the club.  In order to keep subs as low as possible, it is vital to continue to raise money via the 100 club and make a positive contribution to club funds.  Membership forms are now available here
