Exning Cricket Club’s Pre season nets will be held at the Newmarket Leisure Centre on the following Fridays:-

19 February, 26 February, 19 March, 2 April and 9 April from 7pm to 10pm.

JUNIOR NETS

Nets for the age groups up to Under 13 will be from 7pm to 8.30pm and will cost £3 per session.

The Club will be running teams at Under 13 and Under 11 age groups this coming season but younger players are more than welcome to attend from the age of 7/8 upwards.

Unfortunately, the Club will not be able to run an Under 15 team this season, but with the 2010 Under 13’s coming through the system, it is hoped that from 2011 the Club will be back to providing cricket for all three age groups, Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s.

This season the coaches will be Kevin Woodhouse, David Atkinson, Ben Readman, Simon Allen and Daniel Baigent.

SENIOR NETS

Nets for the senior players, from Under 16’s upwards, will be from 8.30pm to 10.00 pm and will cost £4 per session.

The final net session on 9 April coincides with the first match of the season the next day, on 10 April; a Friendly fixture at the Park against local rivals Burwell, who will be plying their trade in the East Anglian Premier League for 2010 having gained promotion in 2009. Exning’s league fixtures then commence the following weekend, 17 April.

All Exning’s 2009 members, both senior and junior, will be aware of the Pre Season net dates, but any players new to the area, young or old, will be made very welcome and are encouraged to join the Pre Season practice nights.

For further information please contact the Director of Coaching, Kevin Woodhouse on 07717 292289 or 07834 967256.

The highlight of Exning Cricket Club’s Annual Men’s Dinner and Presentation Evening held at the Bedford Lodge Hotel, Newmarket last Friday evening, was an entertaining cricketing resume from this year’s Guest Speaker, Angus (Gus) Fraser. He had 107 Club members and guests suitably captivated with tales and reminiscences from 18 years as a County cricketer with Middlesex from 1984 to 2002 including International cricket with England from 1989 to 1999. Following his retirement from the game in 2002 he became the Cricket Correspondent of The Independent until 2009 and has just completed his 1st season as Middlesex County Cricket Club’s Managing Director of Cricket, as well as being a regular contributor to BBC’s Test Match Special since 2002.

He had many tales to tell of his time in County Cricket and bearing in mind the era, lots of the tales involved the likes of Ian Botham and Phil Tuffnell, who regularly feature in many other cricketing after-dinner speakers’ repertoires!

Following the meal and the speeches from Gus Fraser and the Dinner Chairman, Simon Lawson, the Club Chairman, Peter Allen, made the Annual Presentations with the assistance of the Guest Speaker. The 1st XI Player of the Year was Christopher Lomas, a worthy winner for his all-round batting, bowling and fielding performances, while Sam Readman took the 2nd XI Player of the Year accolade, becoming a genuine all-rounder during the season as his batting flourished to support his undoubted bowling talents. In a difficult year for the Sunday XI, Kent Tomsett was presented with the Player of the Year trophy.

Tim Catley took the Dick Burden ‘Champagne Moment’ Trophy for a startling piece of fielding in a 1st XI match against Sudbury and the overall Clubman of the Year Trophy was awarded to David Monk for his commitment to the Club in all areas during the season. The final award was a special one donated by Peter Allen to the Club Secretary and 2nd XI wicket keeper, Philip King, for an exceptional performance in the home match against Little Bardfield.

The formalities were completed with the presentations to the winners of the Note Draw leaving the informal part of the evening to get under way as memories of the 2009 season became cloudier with every trip to the bar! Details of the 2010 date and speaker will soon be posted!
