Southgate Compton Cricket Club

Club and AGM update 12th Nov

We hope that you and your families are all keeping well.

The summer and shortened, but very successful cricket season for SCCC, are now distant memories with the clocks going back and the weather getting wetter and colder.

Following the announcement of a further month's lockdown the clubhouse has had to close again. The SOSA committee will be monitoring the situation and will re-open the club as soon as is allowable, adapting to whatever restrictions may be imposed at the time.

We would normally be holding the AGM now, to review the past season and to start to plan for next season. A Face to Face AGM is definitely the most preferable option, but we clearly can't do this at present. Therefore we will see what the beginning of December brings and will look to get a date in for the AGM as soon as we can.

In the meantime, at least there is some live cricket to watch with England's forthcoming tour of South Africa.

End of season

In the end it was great to get some cricket in when many, myself included doubted we would get any in. Thanks to all the committee and other volunteers to get cricket on for both adults and the colts.

A good season where the 1XI managed an unbeaten run all year in a great team effort, a special mention goes to Cameron for his 126 runs in just 3 innings while also averaging 9 with the ball.

Sunday's were also a good mix of wins and loses but every game was played in the right spirit and was throughly enjoyable, with uncertain times lets hope we can get back to winter nets next year and maybe even another promotion in the season!

club update feb 2021

A brief update on what has happened since the end of last season..

With the present pandemic we will not be holding Winter nets as it would be unsafe to do so and the School premises are not available.

We are aware that we are overdue with the AGM and we have decided to undertake this via a Microsoft Teams meeting 4th March and you will be receiving details of how to be involved in the meeting very shortly. We have just undertaken a Committee Meeting via this method and it worked well. A full list of fixtures should be available towards the end of February following The League AGM. Dave Frame has been working hard in the Winter on the Sunday fixtures and practically all the season is now covered.
Hopefully by the time of the AGM we may have a better idea as to when we will be able to begin playing again.

Just to confirm your Committee will be looking to ensure that all Government guidelines are complied with before the season commences.
