The under 11 team playing at the Challow ground

Challow and Childrey Cricket Club has a thriving youth section. They enter teams in the Oxfordshire leagues at under 11, -13, -15 and under 17 levels.

Qualified coaches are there to develop the boys & girls and encourage them to progress to the senior teams. Our junior section is headed up by Mark Roche who is the ECB’s Cricket Development Manager for Berkshire.  Mark works hard alongside all the coaches at Challow to ensure that training nights are fun, safe and allow children to develop and show progress at their own pace.

CLUBMARK

Clubmark is a cross-sport quality accreditation for clubs with junior sections that ensures the well-being of young people whilst in the care of adults, other than their legal parent(s)/carer(s). It is administered by Sport England.  National governing bodies, in our case the ECB, award Clubmark to proven high quality clubs.

After much hardwork, the Challow and Childrey Cricket Club has gained accreditation.  We join a select band of clubs of which there are only about 2,500 in the UK across 25 sports and become one of a handful of Clubmark registered clubs in Oxfordshire.

The aim now is to drive forward with our implementation of best practice in our provision of coaching to young cricketers in our community.

Please visit the CLUBMARK pages in order to view new information and procedures as they come in to practice.

If you are interested in being involved with any aspect of CLUBMARK or the junior coaching programme, please contact John Pilcher, Welfare Officer, CCCC.

Challow & Childrey Cricket Club aims to ensure a duty of care to all members of the club by adopting and implementing the ECB 'Safe Hands – Welfare of Young People in Cricket' Policy and any future versions of the Policy.

 Abingdon Vale (A)

 Abingdon Vale 76-3.  Challow 77-2 (R Gordon 46no)

On a damp wicket and a wet outfield all batsmen played well. In particular Abingdons T. Tierney hit some lusty blows in a well struck 35 that included 2 sixes. In reply, a well timed 46 not out from opener Ryan Gordon saw Challow home in the 15th over.
May 12
 Shrivenham (H)
 W

Shrivenham 117 for 4 (A Bowles 50no) Challow 118 for 3 (Ryan Gordon 54no)

In a well contested match and on a very good batting strip Shrivenham batted first and compiled a competitive 117 for 3 wickets. They were indebted to a fine knock from A Bowles who was 50 not out, ably supported by S Winskill who scored 21 not out. In reply Challow were always up with the run chase with Ryan Gordon scoring 54 not out well supported by Nigel Hume who scored 25 and W Holmes with 22 not out. Spinner R Slator was Shrivenham’s main bowling threat with impressive figures of 3 for 28 off his 4 overs. A highly enjoyable game played in good spirit between two good sides.

Important Message Concerning Fundraising

 A great way to support the cricket club is to join our monthly draw, the 100 Club. There are 2 winners drawn each month for cash prizes, 50% of the subscriptions to the 100 Club go to help with funding various projects-all this for £1 per month.  The club has made a conscious effort to keep membership fees to a minimum to ensure that money is not a barrier to playing cricket or enjoying social membership of a premiere facility.  If you also become a member of the 100 Club, the combination of 100 Club fee and membership fee still represent excellent value (and you have the opportunity to win something).

Please Join Today!

We would like to invite you to join today by clicking here to find out further details and to download an application form.  You are more than welcome to have multiple draw numbers too-it will increase your chance of winning and the prize pot increases too!

 If you have any questions, please contact the 100 Club Promoter, Phil Cox at phil.cox1@tiscali.co.uk or call him on 07855 367051.
