9/10/11     May      Blewbury (A)	L	Blewbury 226 with our bowlers Sam Crickmore taking 2 - 7 and Tom Wells 1 - 7 Challow 191 Tome Wells top scored with 10 but as we lost 11 wickets at a cost of 6 runs each we never threatened the total.
19            May      E  & W Hendred (H)	L	Hendred 239 Challow 190
25            May      Buscot Park (H)	L	Buscot 229 (Ben Skinner 3 for 5) Challow 211
7              June      Buscot Park (A)	L	Buscot 235 Challow  228
15            June      E  & W Hendred (A)	L	Hendred 257 (Sam Crickmore 3 for 19) Challow 240 Harry Kent 18no
21            June      Blewbury (H)	L	Blewbury 253    Challow 243  Chris Garrett top scored for Challow with 20 no and although they lost less wickets than in previous weeks just failed to record a victory.  They have now finished the league programme of 6 matches and whilst losing every game was disappointing all the players contributed and ended the season better players. From the opening two games against Blewbury and Hendred where we lost 11 wickets in each match we only lost another 20 wickets in the remaining four games. Chris Garrett and Harry Kent were leading run scorers and Tom Wells, Ben Skinner and Seb Rey contributed with both bat and ball. Newcomers to competitive cricket Seb Morris, Jack Roberts, Henry Wiltshire all improved for the experience.The team was excellently skippered by Sam Crickmore and all the games were played in an excellent spirit.

30             Apr        Tiddington (A) cup	L	Challow 77 all out in 18 overs (Nigel Hume skipper 26 and Mark Girling 21 no one else made double figures). Tiddington 78 - 6 in 18.5 overs ( Kenny Brodie 3 for 7) The big difference was extras as Challow gave away 32 including 21 wides !! We will have to work on this at training on Wednesday.
7              May       Didcot   plate	L	Didcot 98 for 0 (V Perera 30 no A Scanlan 33no)  Challow 78 for 8 (Nigel Hume 27no)
14             May       Dorchester (A)	L	Challow 68 - 6 Nigel Hume 18, Pat Wiltshire 13 and Callum Smith 10 Dorchester 69 - 1in 18 overs.The only wicket taker was Ben McCullough
4              June      Didcot (A)	L	Challow 55 for 8 (Pat Wiltshire 17) Didcot 56 for 3 in 14 over (Henry Latimer 22no) The team tried hard and I think still enjoyed it but the lack of runs was disappointing.
11            June      Warborough and           Shillingford (H)	L	Warborough 61 all out (Ben Capstick 2-10, George Vernon 2-13 and Kit Tiker 2-30)  Challow 56 for 5 (Mark Girling 20) Much better bowling performance but again the batting was not quite able to bring victory.
25             Jun         Kennington (H)	L	Kennington 138 - 2   Challow 108 - 8  A strong Kennington side batted first and scored a big total as three players retired with 30+ runs. Nigel Hume got the Challow reply off to a excellent start and we were level on runs after 5 overs. However once Nigel retired the run rate slowed but at least everyone got to bat. We passed the 100 mark for the first time this season and a final score of 108 was very pleasing.
2             July        Abingdon Vale (H)	L	Challow  94 for 8  Abingdon  97 - 6 Challow made a good start and were 59 for 2 at half way with Kenny Brodie top scoring with 24. Mark Girling 19 and Conor Jones gave good support but we just failed to exceed three figures.  Abingdon made a more steady start with Kenny Brodie completing a good match with 2 for 19. T Tierney top scored with 31 before retiring and with M Burton also in the runs with 19no they secured victory with two overs to spare.
6             July        Abingdon Vale (H)

 

1             May       Eynsham A (H)	L	Challow 61 for 8 Top scorers were Jake Collings 13 and Jack Tinker 12. Challow struggled against some very good bowling on a wet wicket but did well to post a reasonable score that if they bowled well would be difficult to get. Eynsham  63 for 3 in 11.4 overs The bowlers tried but the difference was the opening bat Omair who made 28 no and steered Eynsham to an easy victory.
8             May       Abingdon (A)	-	cancelled - rain
22             May       Witney A (H)	-	cancelled - rain
5             June      Didcot (H)	W	Challow 136 for 4 (Nick Burton 53 retired, Luke Jones 44) Didcot 132 for 7 (R Kenworthy 45 S Birningham 40)  Nick Burton and Luke Jones added 107 for the 3rd wicket.  Didcot having been restricted to 32 for 2 off 10 overs nearly turned it round.  R Kenworthy and S Birningham up the tempo but with 17 needed off the last over they just failed but it was a excellent game.
12             June      Dorchester (A)	L	Challow 110 - 6 (Nigel Hume 50 retired) Dorchester 111 - 7 A match that we should have won but injuries to 3 key bowlers restricted the bowling options and in the end Dorchester won with more than an over to spare.
19             June      Wallingford (A)	W	Wallingford 72 - all out (Alex Pepper 4 for 5) Challow 76 - 6 in 14.4 overs (Daniel Rey 19 and Joe Braham 19)
26             June      Shrivenham (A)	-	cancelled rain
3             July        Hendred (H)	L	Hendred  84 - 7  Challow 83 all out Daniel Rey was the best bowler with 3 for 4 runs from his 4 overs. This helped restrict Hendred to 84. Given this was the last game of the season we gave chances to those players that had not batted much during the season. Jack Tinker got the innings off to a flying start with 14. However wickets were falling regularly but a partnership of 32 between Alex Pepper and Chris Teale got the innings back on track. However some poor running saw three wickets go in rapid succession to run outs and we agonisingly fell 1 run short of the target.

10             July        Oxford Downs (A)
17             July        Eynsham (H)
24             July        Ducklington (A)
31             July        Shrivenham (H)	W	Challow 115 for 9   Shrivenham 98 for 5  Challow finally got their season under way with a good all round performance leading to a 17 run victory.   Dan Hawkins, 21 and Rob Harries, 26 added 50 runs for the opening partnership in 6 overs before D Hoskins took a hat trick to reduce Challow to 50 for 3. The run rate slowed before good contributions from James Mabbett 20 and Nick Burton 17 took the score past the hundred mark.  The Challow bowlers all did well and whilst they did not get early wickets runs were hard to come by as after 10 overs Shrivenham reached 41 for 2. C Taylor was the best batsmen on show but with good field placement by skipper Rob Harries he was well contained and was eventually out for an excellent 52 but with overs running out Shrivenham fell 17 runs short.
6             Aug        Witney Swifts (A)		Challow 94 all out (Nigel Hume 49 D Black 4 for 4)  Witney Swifts 92 - 7  13 year old Nigel Hume was the star for Challow as he held the innings together with a fantastic 49 befor becoming one of 4 victims for D Black at the cost of just 4 runs. Challow eventually posted a reasonable 94 all out but they would have to bowl and field well to defend that total. They immediately turned to spin as skipper Rob Harries reeled off his 4 overs claiming 1 for 11 and with Nigel Hume bowling 3 overs for just 10 thay had Witney Swifts behind the clock but they had wickets in hand. At half way Witney Swifts were 31 for 2 and then tried to up the pace. THe bowlers were up to the task and it all came down to the last exciting over. Witney needed 11 with 5 wickets in hand. Bowler Nick Burton took a wicket with the first ball followed by two dots. Witney then hit a 4 leaving them requiring 7 to win from two balls a single followed and despite three byes off the last ball Challow won by 2 runs.   This left the U17 undefeated from just the two games it was possible to play.
