All members and local cricket fans are reminded that Upminster Cricket Club are holding a cricket week, beginning on Monday 26th July.

Monday will be colts day as we host an U9s tournament for local Clubs, and also host Kwik Cricket tournaments for our own Under 10s and Under 11s.

Tuesday is "Old Boys" day as an Upminster side made up of past players (and one or two present day old boys!!) takes on a side from the 40 Club (game starts at 2.00pm).

On Wednesday we welcome a local "All Stars" side to play our own 1st XI and Thursday is 20/20 day.

We urge all members to come and support these games and also join in the evening activities through the week.  We will also require members to help with bar work and BBQ work through the week.

Please keep your eyes on the website and mail releases for further information on the week. 

The "All Stars" line up for the game against an Upminster XI on Wednesday as part of Cricket Week, is taking shape.

We are grateful that some of the best Club cricketers in the area have made themselves available for this game, including Mark Whitlock (Hornchurch), Roy Smith (Ardleigh Green), Irfan Shah (Hainault and Clayhall) and Mervyn Westfield (Wanstead).  The side will be captained by Upminster's very own Ollie Peck.

The game will begin at 11.30am and all support for this match will be much appreciated.

Cricket Week begins on Monday, and it is Colts Day for the younger members of our Junior Section.

From 12.30pm there will be an U9s Kwik Cricket tournament involving sides from Upminster, Brentwood, Hutton and Shenfield.

Then later in the afternoon there will be a 20 over match between our own U10s and U11s.

A BBQ will be available throughout the day, and the bar will be open.

If there are any senior members or colts parents who are able to assist on the day, your help would be appreciated at anytime from 12 noon.

To celebrate the beginning of the Summer Holidays, and as a prelude to next week's Cricket Week, there will be a BBQ and Pimms night at the Club this Friday.

Food will be available from about 6.30pm and drinks will be available throughout the evening.  There will also be U8s v U9s Kwik Cricket match on the outfield.

Any assistance from colts parents or senior members with cooking, bar work and clearing up would be much appreciated.
