Badgers Cricket Club – Home Page

We have all been saddened this week by the news that one-time Badgers stalwart Patrick Redding – who in addition to being a truly nice person and the best batter to have turned out for the club also had spells as Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer and (a sometimes frustrated) Vice Captain during his eleven seasons – passed away suddenly on 8th July. Details of the funeral have been circulated within the club, current and former members, so please let me know if you have not received those but would like to attend.

We first played Sunbury a couple of years ago in a last minute fixture and Darrell was most disappointed when he was unable to arrange a date with them for last season. However, this year he was able to do so and we had another enjoyable visit even though we were relegated to the back pitch this time. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

PLEASE NOTE that the start time for tomorrow’s game has been brought forward to twelve thirty for Association Football related reasons.

There is nothing else to see here as last Sunday’s visit to Oxted for the beer festival game was called off just as we were arriving in the village, so I didn’t even get the afternoon to work on the (long) to do list for the sites and database.

PLEASE NOTE that we have no game for this coming weekend, which was originally reserved for tour, as we are once again unable to raise a side.

Our third visit in three seasons to the delightful confines of Chipstead, Coulsdon and Walcountians and once again our hosts were most welcoming with an entertaining afternoon ensuing. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.
