Upminster's 'A' side now know a win in their last game of the season, against Chadwell Heath, will see them retain their Division One status for next season. They have had mixed fortunes in their last two games. A few weeks back they were heavily beaten by a strong Ardleigh Green side who have since been crowned as champions. However, in their latest game, against Hornchurch, the match ended in a thrilling tie, with both sides making 101 from their twelve overs and picking up 9 points each. Rob White was the star of the show for Upminster, making 55 of his side's total.
The 'B' team look set for a mid table finish after their two latest games. They fell to a defeat against Rainham in a tight, low scoring encounter and then narrowly lost to Ardleigh Green's 'B' side, going down by just 5 runs. The 'B' team have two games remaining of their season.
Karim Govani's young 'C' team are still looking for their first win of the season after their games against Rainham 'B' and May and Baker. Against Rainham they were chasing a huge total of 125 and came up just 15 runs short, while they were more convincingly beaten by May and Baker. However, the many young players who have played in the side have shown great potential in the last few games, and will be hoping to record a victory in their last game of the season. |

UCC SIGNS UP TO "CHANCE TO SHINE" FOR THIRD YEAR |

Upminster Cricket Club is pleased to announce that in 2010 it will once again be taking part in the "Chance To Shine" scheme.
"Chance To Shine" is a project run by the Cricket Foundation to provide cricket coaching in State Schools, in areas around Cricket Clubs. The Clubs organise and provide the coaching in the schools meaning more youngsters are given a chance to play the game, and Clubs can go into these schools and play a part in the local community. This will be the third season that Upminster Cricket Club has been involved with this scheme.
Two of the Club's ECB Level Two coaches, Nicky Ison and Martin Davis, will be working in six local schools throughout the summer. These schools are Hall Mead, Coopers Coborn, Branfil, Engayne, Upminster Junior and James Oglethorpe. Upminster Cricket Club would like to thank everyone at the Cricket Foundation, and the Essex County Cricket Board for allowing us to take part in this project once again. |

NATWEST CRICKETFORCE - WEEKEND OF 27th and 28th MARCH |
|
|
|

Once again, Upminster Cricket Club will be taking part in the Natwest ECB CricketForce, which this year takes place on Saturday and Sunday, the 27th and 28th of March, and your help and support is needed!!!
CricketForce encourages cricket supporters, club members, friends and families to give something back to their local cricket club by volunteering to take part in works to improve the ground, practice facilities and clubhouse.
In past years Upminster Cricket Club have carried out major works on and around the ground during CricketForce. These include a new patio outside the clubhouse, interior and exterior painting of the clubhouse, start of work on the net facilities next to the clubhouse, improvements to net facilities next to the tennis courts, work on sightscreens and improvements to the changing rooms. This led to the Club being the "National Launch Club" for Natwest CricketForce in 2006, with England stars Alistair Cook and Monty Panesar visiting the Club to help with the work.
Once again in 2010, there are several tasks which need to be completed during this weekend, so everything is ready for the start of the 2010 season. So if you can spare an hour or two (or a bit longer), then please come to the clubhouse at any time from 10am on either the Saturday or the Sunday. If you have any equipment which you feel may be of use (tools, ladders, shovels etc) then please bring these with you, as they may well be of use.
Please keep your eyes on the website in the next few weeks for further details of this weekend. |
