27/6/08 Nigel Hume and
Harry Smith compiled a fantastic
251-run partnership to steer Oxfordshire to victory
over the Isle of Wight in their ECB Under 15 County Cup tie at
Kidlington. Both scored
their maiden county centuries, with 'Tubba' Hume hitting nine
boundaries in his magnificent 134.
Nick Meadows was in conversation with Spence. If you would like to be profiled in this series, please see at the club Dan Maroske claimed 4 for 61 for Western Suburbs against Gold Coast in their first innings of the Queensland First Grade cricket premiership Final at Allan Border Field. Wests were then dismissed for 232 to give Gold Coast a first innings lead of 66 to take into the last two days of the match next week.

Sunday Aug
6 M.C.C. game As part of the clubs 60th Anniversary celebrations we again hosted the MCC in a bi-annual fixture. The weather played its part with the hottest day of the year tempered by a cooling breeze. The ground was in magnificent condition set off by a marquee for our guests that include founding players from 1947 and past members who helped establish the current ground.
The Challow
innings almost mirrored that of
the MCC and yet again the crowd were treated to another excellent
display of
batting as openers Owen Dimbylow and Nick Meadows put on 70 for the
first wicket. At the start of the
last
twenty overs Challow were 125 for 2 but with both Nick and Steve Burry
going
well, they added 147 for the 3rd wicket. Nick was eventually run out
for 124.
Thereafter Steve took over and steered Challow to a 7 wicket victory
with 8
balls to spare on an undefeated 71 not out. He was accompanied to
victory by
14 year old Nigel Hume who gave a brief glimpse of his talents with a
quick
fire 15 no. Bernard Tollett Oxfordshire Cup Batting first, Hanborough scored 103 all out, with Matthew Busby contributing 55. Michael Phillipson returned 3-13 Phillipson then starred with the bat, making 57 not out as he and opening partner Nick Meadows (40no) passed the target without loss to earn a last-eight tie at home to Oxford Downs next Tuesday. Hanborough 103 (M Busby 55, M Phillipson 3-13), Challow & Childrey 104-0 (M Phillipson 57no, N Meadows 40no). ( Mike Knox - Oxford Mail 29/6/07) 13/6/07 "Scoring
197 at Challow was probably worth 150 on another wicket as it such a
good track." Rob Williams just misses out on a double century in Oxfordshire's seven-wicket
victory over Herefordshire.
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. Hume leads way as
county crush
Gloucestershire The Fun
Day was a
great success despite the bad weather earlier in the day. The sun shone
and lots of people came and enjoyed browsing the stalls and watching
the events - especially the tug-of-war and the happiest dog
competition. Many thanks to Sarah for organising it all and to everyone
who helped throughout the day or who just came along to support us.
We raised some money towards the 60th anniversary
celebrations - exact amount still being worked out!
Club History Gerald Wixey has updated the seventies section, adding match summaries and some colourful recollections for each year. Facts, figures and fantasies Precise Irrigation UK Ltd Precise Irrigation UK Ltd, based in Denchworth have been generously supporting the club over the past 4 years. This season they have become the principal sponsor of CCCC. Their sponsorship ensures that the large bill that we get each year to purchase match balls for league cricket can be paid. Kit We have new playing shirts, training/warm-up t-shirts and training/warm-up shorts. The whole set will be £35. This year if you are representing the 1st or 2nd Team, you are expected to wear the above kit on a Saturday, including the correct clothing for the warm-ups on match days. Please come and speak to Archie regarding the kit or call him on 07747 097574. 7/4/07 Challow Fun
Day – Monday 7 May from 12 noon 4/4/07 Challow
and Childrey CC are providing the venue for the Easter Cricket Holiday
Activity days run by the Vale of the White Horse DC. Mark Podbery will
be assisting the Vale's coach and hopefully there
will be a number of juniors attending who trained with Challow last
year. Unfortunately,
the courses are now full but should you wish to find out further

Steve Penney Clubmark Administrator, CCCC Cricketers The season is virtually upon us and Ted reckons it about time we started the usual net sessions.... it would be nice for us all to pick up a bat and turn the arms over before the first games. The first friendly fixture is on April the 14th with competitive games starting 2-3 weeks later. It is suggested then that the usual regular net sessions, that is 'development group and 1st XI' on Tuesdays and 'everyone' on Thursdays, begin this week on Thursday Mar 29th at 6pm and continue next week and thereafter (weather permitting of course). Those of you who have been saving yourselves for the season can now come out of hiding. Also, its important that we prepare the ground for the matches in the coming weeks, and so we are asking for volunteers this Sunday morning at 10am (the 1st April, no thats not a joke) to help up at the ground with unwinding the sightscreens, and painting them, and doing the various other little jobs around the place. Michael Philipson  iis joining us for the summer. He plays for Queensland University and is a right hand bat and off spin/seam bowler. Dan reports that " although Michael Philiipson is a skinny gut he can crank his bowling up to Mike and Ollie's pace". Michael finished the grade season in style with 97 against Redlands. Kit Mark Podbery is organising the kit for this year. This will include new shirts, more of the boundary sports shorts, plus training T-shirts. 25/2/07 The 2007 Newsletter

Donald Pert (1934 - 2006) Don
Pert, the clubs spiritual
captain died on Saturday morning (7/10/2006). A huge loss for
both the
club and
Don
and Mikey
at Challow on Sep 17
'Don Pert,
seen by many in the local cricketing world as
'Mr Challow & Childrey CC', died in the John Radcliffe Hospital,
Oxford, on Saturday. He was 73. The club president, he held virtually
every office at Challow during his time, including chairman, treasurer,
secretary and club captain. Pert, of East Challow, played cricket
while in the RAF and also represented the Combined Services in the Far
East. In 1955, at the peak of his playing days for Challow, he
took 69 wickets at a remarkable average of 3.13 runs apiece. He
had a huge impact on the club's development as they survived losing
their ground for nine years from 1965-73 to rise from a small village
outfit to one of the top grounds in Oxfordshire, regularly hosting
Minor Counties matches. Although, he suffered ill health in his
later years, he maintained his great enthusiasm for the game and
followed Challow home and away. As well as cricket, he enjoyed travelling, visiting 49 countries - some many times - and followed the fortunes of Reading and Charlton football clubs. A painter and decorator by trade, he leaves a widow Mary, a son Robert, a daughter Christine and four grandchildren, Rebecca, Lizzie, Chloe and Sebastian. A funeral service will take place at St Nicholas' Church, East Challow on Tuesday (2pm), with his ashes to be left in his favourite corner of Challow's ground, overlooking the Downs.' (Russell Smith, Oxford Mail, Oct 11) 6/10/06 Constitution The club rules and constitution are now available online here 30/9/06 Ash steadies ship Sep 30. Queensland fast bowlers Ashley Noffke and Andy Bichel went head to head at Norman Gray Oval in the clash between South Brisbane and defending premiers Sunshine Coast. Noffke bowled with pace and bounce to claim 6-43 as Souths were dismissed for 154, with captain Lance Kahler (40) and allrounder Peter Reimers (39) contributing the bulk of the runs. Not
to be outdone, Bichel, in his first game since returning from a County
cricket stint with Essex, ripped in early to take 3-11 before Scorchers
captain Ashley Holznagel, a former Souths (and Challow) player,
steadied the ship to
score 50 not out. Alan Ball, who helped England lift the 1966 World Cup, and ex-Southampton star Matt Le Tissier, who represented his country in the 1990s, were members of the Lambourn horseracing side, who beat their Newmarket counterparts at a canter by 77 runs. Ball opened the batting for Lambourn, but made only seven. Le Tissier, however, was in good form, hitting 63, before trainer William Knight smashed 88 to take Lambourn to 230-8 from their 40 overs. Newmarket were then bowled out for 153, with trainer Nick Gifford (6-33) doing the damage. West Indies legend Michael Holding umpired the game which it was hoped would raise more than £100,000 for the Rhinology and Laryngology Research Fund, Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance and St John Ambulance. The match was organised after Lambourn trainer Barry Hills recently underwent treatment for throat cancer. (report taken from Russell Smith, Oxford Mail, Sep 18, 2006) Club History Another chapter in the colourful history of Challow from our venerable scribe, Gerald Wixey features a review of the 1971 season and the averages for 1971 to 1976 , 1971-76. 22/4/06 Club History Our resident archivist and historian, the venerable Gerald Wixey is producing an informal history of the club.

Foremost of these initiatives will be the work that is being done to gain accreditation to CLUBMARK. This will enable the club to meet its responsibilities for the safety and welfare of members, volunteers and visitors, including spectator’s parents and members of opposing teams. The CLUBMARK team hopes that we will secure full accreditation by the end of 2006.
