....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
OCB
Award The club have
won an award at the recent inaugural 2008 Oxfordshire Cricket Board
youth
cricket presentation evening. The 1950's Gerald Wixey's latest perceptive analysis. A fascinating chronicle of Challow cricket from a bygone age. 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.
