12 Sep 2011 : U17s denied hat trick of county titles
It was third time unlucky for the U17s as they slipped to defeat in the U17 Final on saturday.   Vying for a third title in a row after winning the U15 and U16 competititions our lads came up against a St Margaretsbury team which were just too good on the day.  Full report under results.      

18 Aug 2011 : Berko Boys star in Area matches
Some of our junior players have enjoyed a great week in the third round of summer Area matches.  For West U10s Tom Lewis scored 43 not out whilst Charlie Mann, James Weller and Will Gardener all took wickets in their victory.    West U11s bowled out the South for just 40 on monday with Jake Alderson taking 4 wickets.  On tuesday Dan Macey bowled West U12s to victory with 5 wickets and on wednesday for West U13s again it was the Berko boys leading the way with the bat, George Lewarne scoring 67 and Harvey Lewis 37 in their 20 run victory.     

18 Aug 2011 : Larry bags first Berko ton
Congratulations to Larry Eaton who made his first century for Berko in the sunday fixture against Chenies & Latimer.   We hope its the first of many!    

05 Jul 2011 : BCC packed for 8 a side tournament
A lovely sunny sunday morning and the field was overflowing with young cricketers for our annual 8 a side tournament/funday.  16 teams of boys and girls battled it out to be champions.  The junior tournament was fittingly won by England and the senior tournament by Bermuda!   Trophies and the usual huge box of chocalates were handed out to the winners by Head Coach James Holliday before the coaches and parents could get their hands on them.    

05 Jul 2011 : Under 9s enjoy successful Chesham Festival
Under 9s enjoy successful Chesham FestivalA good day for our Under 9 teams at Chesham on sunday.   The blues managed by Ian Sayle won their group and got through to the main competition, winning the semi final but then coming up against a strong Chesham Lions team in the final and finishing runners up.
Dave Chrispins team lost a close game to the Lions in the group stages so went into the plate where they were victorious in bringing home the trophy. With both teams only losing one game each and to the same side I think we can say honours were even and we can probably say we had the second and third best teams on the day.  

04 Jul 2011 : Pitch Perfect really was perfect!

Pitch Perfect really was perfect!

From the first soaring notes from Philip Brown, and close harmonies of Cabinet Shuffle through haunting arias from Kathryn Jenkin and great jazz from the Peter Kershaw Four to the closing big numbers from the Rock Chorus, this was music of the highest standard. In between we were entertained by Victor and Hugo's arresting perfomance and the Espinosa dancers. If you were there, enjoying all this plus the sunshine, picnic, Pimms and good company - congratulations!
If you missed out, then make sure you are there next year for the highlight of Berkhamsted's summer. To see all the photos, click here for the gallery. Some highlights below:
