Third Match Report of the season
Springfield v Bluehouse Bluehouse captain won the toss and had no hesitation in putting us into bat. After losing an early wicket Wayne & Bob Howell put on 60 for the second wicket Bob 33 Wayne 22. Then Predesh Philip took control of the game scoring a very hard hit 85. A couple of his sixes were so big the fielders didn't even bother looking for them. Will Coplen supported well scoring 38 and the innings finished at 239 for 9. In reply Bluehouse never looked like making the runs losing 4 early wickets. only Nigel Pegg with 30 threaten to worry Springfield. Predesh Philip 3 for 29 and Wayne Howell 3 for 45 accounted for the top order. Mark Patterson rapped up the tail, taking 2 for 14 to give Springfield a 81 run victory. |

all David
East,
Essex Cricket Chief Executive, added “Bringing more and more
children into the game is one of our main priorities. Following the
success that we had in 2008, our Junior Membership is becoming
increasingly popular especially having made the decision to keep our

1,400 Junior Members, all of whom will enjoy the £12 rate in 2009. We
believe we have one of the lowest priced junior membership across the
18 first class counties and hope that this exceptionally low rate will
encourage more children to follow the game of cricket.” Paul

allow children of all ages to come and watch cricket here at Essex

SENIOR
CRICKET
Cricket practice continues to run at the Writtle Cricket Centre on Sunday evenings from 5.30pm to 7pm. Attendance has been excellent and a number of players are showing some good form no doubt due to the practice they have put in. SUBSCRIPTIONS We are a few months into the New Year now and we would remind you that 2009 subscriptions are due now. Please see Martin Lambert at the club. COLTS CRICKET Colts practice is still running on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. On Fridays we are at Boswells School between 6pm and 8pm. On Sundays practice is at Mildmay (Essex University) between 4pm and 7pm. We would like to see a few more faces at practice as we get nearer to the start of the season. It would be really great to see few of the senior players attending to help with either coaching, setting up or clearing up. We only need an hour of your time every now and then.
