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....."

CHALLOW & CHILDREY CC 3rd XI

If you have not already heard, as of the 2009 season Challow is looking to enter a 3rd XI team in the Cherwell League.

After many years supporting the Saturday team at Wantage & Grove CC they are now in a position to take over the fixtures in the OCA in their own right. This was always the long term goal. We remain good friends with Wantage and indeed will continue to do much of the ground preparation and play most of our home fixtures there.

This as a great opportunity to re-establish the identity of the 3rd XI within the club under the continuing captaincy of Francis Brown. Once again playing under the Challow name will bring all 3 teams closer together and encourage development and progression through the teams.

Whilst of course some players will choose to remain at Wantage we hope as many as possible, especially the younger players, will see the benefits of playing for Challow and register with the Cherwell League next season. Please be aware that the league rules currently do not allow players to register for both the Cherwell and OCA leagues.

 We will also continue with a Sunday XI playing mostly friendly fixtures with the majority at Challow. The plan is to introduce the more talented Under 14/15’s to the longer format of an afternoon game.

If you have any questions or would like further information please contact:-
Francis Brown - 01235 770661 or francis4cricket@btinternet.com

OCB Award

The club have won an award at the recent inaugural 2008 Oxfordshire Cricket Board youth cricket presentation evening.
The silver salver was presented in recognition of the support of Challow & Childrey Cricket Club to Oxfordshire Youth Cricket.


The 1950's  Gerald Wixey's latest perceptive analysis.  A fascinating chronicle of Challow cricket from a bygone age.


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.

Donald Pert (1934 - 2006)

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
