Congratulations to the OW 1st XI cricket team who won Division 1B of the Kent Feeder League. This puts them well on the way to achieving their ambition of playing Kent League cricket. Superbly lead by Simon Wood, who has now emigrated to Canada, they lost only one game with one abandonment and sixteen victories. Their success was mainly based around a superb bowling attack and top quality fielding ( very much down to Jon Child's training regime) although they could also score runs when required.

Not to be totally outdone, the 2nd XI, lead by Marc King, also gained promotion by finishing third in Division 2C in what will be a different looking Kent Feeder League in 2010.

Finally, the Sunday XI, lead by Luke Butcher, narrowly failed to regain their title in the Medway Area Sunday Cricket League by finishing second. This was largely due to a couple of lacklustre performances but also to a remarkable defeat at the hands of GEC who included four players who play for OWCC on Saturdays!

Great season.

Congratulations to all below who were winners in the draws for April to September. The earlier of these draws were delayed whilst the organisers waited for cheques to clear from new members etc. Apologies. Interest will not be paid because, sadly, the cost of paper for a cheque exceeds that of the interest that may have been due! Well done, Gordon Brown!
