Gary Sobers, famous West Indian captain and all-rounder (1954 -1974) was due to visit the Club on Thursday evening from 7 p.m. to watch some of our youngsters playing and then answer questions.  Unfortunately I have just had a call to say Gary has been taken ill and is terminating his UK tour so will not be coming.  He hopes to come to the UK next year and we are on the list of Clubs for him to visit.  

Winning the toss the 1st XI asked their visitors, Chignal to bat first on and by virtue of a lot of dropped catches allowed them to total 175 all out, Jon Cook taking 5-39. In another disappointing performance with the bat, they were bowled out for 88, only Jason Ox (29) troubling the scorers.

The 4th XI visited Navestock & Ardleigh Green 2nd XI who batted first and scored 162-5. Rayleigh were 3-1 when the heavens opened and the match was abandoned.

The Saturday 6th XI entertained Rayleigh Fairview 4th XI at Gloucester Park, Basildon and batting first struggled against some accurate bowling and finished their 40 overs on 110-9, Nick Buckley (30) and Mike Humphrey (13*) being the only batsmen to reach double figures. In reply Fairview were soon in trouble with a fine spell of bowling from Conor Slough (3-10 off 5 overs) but at 43-5 a third heavy shower meant the pitch became unsafe for further play and the match was abandoned as a draw.

The Women & Girls XI match at Kelvedon was called off without a ball being bowled due heavy rain on Friday afternoon and evening.
