Welcome to the Cricket section of the Winchmore Hill website. This is the home for one of the most dedicated - and friendliest - clubs in the Middlesex League and other competitions.

After a very challenging 2009 season, WHCC is aiming to make 2010 and the start of the new decade a strong foundation for building year on year success. To help achieve this, we are keen to welcome new members across the board, and are looking to strengthen all our teams from our First XI through to our Fifth XI. This also stretches out to our colts where we have a strong coaching and development policy to develop younger players with all the characteristics that make cricket so valuable – team ethos, strength of character and mind, fitness and values for fair play within a supportive and competitive environment.

If you want to play at a lovely ground, with great practice and playing facilities – potentially the best in North London and with a sociable group who play competitive cricket, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Our league rules do not permit us to field overseas players who have played first class cricket, nor do they permit us to play professionals. We are also limited to five overseas players in our top three XIs on a Saturday. Please e-mail enquiries to whcc@lineone.net

Pre Season 2010 Briefing
Well it is that time of year again. The football season is reaching the business end, and we are starting to prepare for the start of the cricket season.

Since the end of last season we have had another successful cricket dinner, and all the Committee and captain positions are now in place, with a string of meetings already under our belt. Adam Howorth is the new 1st Team captain with Jim Gatting as vice skip. Oli Wilkinson is the new 4th Team Captain. James Mote, Alex Ludlam and Mike Howard remain as the 2nd, 3rd and 5th team captains respectively as last year, thereby providing the desired consistency and experience we are aiming for.

We would just like to take this opportunity to notify you of a few key issues and dates as we approach the new season – your participation and engagement will be critical to the success of the club in 2010:

Cricket Force Day –Sunday 11^th April 2010, 9.30am to 4pm, all members are asked to register and help get the club house ready for the new season. Please make every effort to attend (even if only for an hour) there is plenty that needs to be done. Full catering will be available.

Subs – Please Pay as Early as Possible: The cricket section has to cover its costs and support the parent club. We can only do this if all members pay their subs. Please be pro-active and help the section out by paying your subs NOW.
To help, the senior and intermediate (including vets) subs will remain the same this year at Ł150 and Ł100 respectively - information on the options to pay are elsewhere on the website

Kit - It is now mandatory that all players have the standard WHCC kit from D&M. We have increased the frequency of order and delivery dates – but the lead times are still long, so get your orders in early. Order by 28^th Feb for April delivery, order by 28^th March for May delivery. Remember 10% of your spend with D&M goes directly to the cricket section

Fixtures - The first pre-season games will start on the weekend of the 17th April – Saturday and Sunday, with league games commencing on the 8th May. Full fixtures are on our website!

Availability - Please get in touch with one of the captains to notify them of your availability before the end of March!!!!!

From everyone on the committee I hope that you have had an enjoyable off season and that you are looking forward to the new season.

If you would like to send any suggestions, then please email (neil.innes@me.com) or drop a letter in the “cricket section” pigeon holes at the club

Chairman, WHCC Cricket Section
