Redbourn Ladies Cricket team are currently seeking new members and would be interested to hear from anyone who might be interested in playing ladies cricket (even cricketing novice mums!).

They are an established ladies cricket team and have been both League Winners and Runners-Up.

All playing abilities are welcomed and no experience is necessary.

They are currently running indoor nets sessions at Redbourn Cricket School. Their outdoor nets and practice sessions commence in the Spring, prior to league matches starting in May.

If anybody is interested, please contact Viv Clark 07941 478043 or Amanda Russell on 07885 891634; or they can be reached via email at t2ajr@btinternet.com

Their matches are usually at 10 am on a Sunday and are 25 overs. Their league consists of 6 teams.

A year after the untimely death of Paul Beard, many people have generously contributed to the memorial fund set up in his name and it now stands at around £24,000. Paul’s widow Carolyn and his family would like to distribute the money to the following causes that were important to Paul.
• £11,000 - Berkhamsted Raiders Football Club, including a minimum of £5,000 to be pledged to BerkoAstro, a project to which Paul was committed.
• £6,000 – Berkhamsted Cricket Club, where Paul played as a teenager and more recently with his son Ben and also assisted with coaching. The Cricket Club plans to set up coaching grants in Paul’s name, which the club feels is a good legacy given his passion for coaching.
• £5,000 – The Paul Beard Sports Fund – set up at St John’s College, Cambridge by Paul’s wonderful college mates to support students of St John’s participating in University and College sport. Paul was a very proud Johnian and rugby blue and recognised the opportunities he was given during his time at the university.
• £1,000 - The Senahasa Trust – set up by family friend Kumu following the tsunami in Sri Lanka. The family hopes to help to provide some play or sports equipment for the schools that the Trust has rebuilt.
• £1,000 - The Sabre Trust – set up to support the area in Ghana that Ben Beard visited with Chesham High School in October on a sports tour. The fund would like to provide some funding for sports coaching or equipment.

The BSSC AGM takes place at the clubhouse at 8pm on February 16th.

The agenda will be posted on the club notice board in the near future. If an electronic version becomes available then that will be posted onto this web site for viewing prior to the meeting.

Lots of new photos from various games added to the gallery area. If anyone wants the full size file, just email pau@norank.co.uk. There is no charge, just let me know the name of the file and the game.

1st XI - After a high points scoring defeat yesterday to Hoddesdon, they remain in 2nd place and must match Hitchin next week before beating Chorleywood to be promoted. Gareth Parker-Jones hit a magnificent century yesterday but despite a good effort in the field from an unusual bowling attack Hoddesdon chased down 260.

2nd XI - Need to score 26 points from the last two games to be absolutely sure of 5th Division Cricket next season but should be safe regardless thanks to a fine win yesterday. David Sherjan and Ned Kilgannon saw the side home chasing over 200.

3rd XI - Scored three points yesterday in a draw but are assured of promotion to Division 10 requiring just two points from two games.

4th XI - Secured their place in Division 13 with an excellent 10 wicket win against Datchworth. Romit Patel bowled well for his 4 wickets with good support from Jordan Harrison, Will Clayton and debutant Joseph Atkins. They knocked off 147 without loss as Andre Machon and Peter Drury both hit fifties.
