What a year it has been!! 100s of games played by our senior and junior sides, a first ever boys county competition victory, another brilliant Benefit Match with Essex and two keenly contested Windmill Whack competitions. Oh…………..and we also saw the redevelopment of the Upminster Park Pavilion into a state-of-the-art facility!!!

There was sadness as well, with two of our longest serving Vice Presidents, Colin Wright and Shirley Foss, passing away during the year. They will both be missed by many people involved with the club and by members of the wider Upminster community.

As we take a look back over the year, we must thank all members, colts, colts parents, Vice-Presidents, coaches, volunteers and friends of the club for their support and contribution in 2025. Playing more than 550 games of cricket in a year requires a lot of work from a lot of people, and at the end of 2025 we should take some time to reflect on the efforts of all those who make this happen.

Here are a few of the highlights from the last 12 months:

- The wet weather also meant frustration for the Women’s 1st XI and the Matchplay XI on the following Sunday. For the women it denied them a chance to push for a top two place in the 100 with their games against Bishops Stortford both rained off, while for the Matchplay side the saturated outfield at Upminster Park meant their game against Rankins did not take place and they were denied the opportunity to progress to the knockout stages;

- The Women’s 1st XI put in their best performance of the season to beat Colchester and East Essex by seven wickets and all but secure their Division One status for 2026.

In the afternoon the U17s faced off against Harold Wood in the Central U17s Cup Final in front of a packed redeveloped Upminster Park Pavilion and the hosts put in a fine performance to cruise to an eight wicket win and retain the trophy. The U11 Girls put in a fine performance in the Central U11 Girls Cup Final before losing out to an excellent Hornchurch Athletic side;
- The Women’s 1st XI complete their league season with a five wicket loss at champions Bishops Stortford, but they pick up enough points to secure a highly respectable fourth place finish in Division One.
