Old Colfeians Cricket Club

Our winter nets start soon - first session is Sunday 4th February. NEW PLAYERS WELCOME!

Due to a double-booking at Halley Academy, we have had to change the time slot of our Wednesday evening nets to 8.30-9.30pm (1 hour later). We will also start 2 weeks later on Wed 22nd Feb (for 6 weeks up to 29th March). Apologies for this late change.

To be clear:
- NO NETS this Wednesday (8th) or next (15th)
- Sunday morning nets have already started at Avery Hill (9.30-11am) and are unaffected by this latest change.

See you there!

TWO WEEKS TO GO! Please note the change in location and time for our Sunday nets - now back at 9.30am at Avery Hill. Wednesday evenings unchanged - 7.30pm at Halley Academy. New players welcome. See you there.

Junior cricket practice/coaching for boys and girls starts this Sunday at Avery Hill, in partnership with Greenwich Junior Cricket Academy! See photo for details.

It may seem like deepest, darkest winter but the 2023 cricket season is just around the corner! Why not join us at our winter nets from 5th February?

Everyone at Old Colfeians CC is heartbroken that club stalwart Geoff Rameaux died last Saturday after a short illness.

Geoff’s dedication to club rugby and cricket at the Old Colfeians was legendary. He was a fine cricketer, a mentor and friend to many of us and a lovely human being. Our thoughts and support go out to Claire, Tom, Franki and Des.

His beloved OCRFC will hold a minute’s applause in Geoff’s memory before the start of this Saturday’s home fixtures at Horn Park.

RIP Geoff

A mixed bag on Saturday:

- 1st XI lost by 70 runs to Dartford Cricket Club - 260/4 played 190/6, the reply seeing Jake Wilkins scoring 70 and Satchi Mahendran with 45*.

- The 3rd XI won by 4 wickets with a ball to spare in a superb chase of 194 at Downham and Bellingham CC, Thriyam Ravi taking 3/46 on debut, and lots of contributions with the bat: Richard and Simon Burton scored 42 and 31, while Max Dunmore made a fluent 37.

- The 4s lost by six runs to Wadhurst Cricket Club Coaching in a very entertaining albeit low-scoring game. Wadhurst posted 99 with Gethin Bond snaring 5/34. Despite 20s from Stephen Wallace and Edwin Malins, a tough track and good bowling just denied a win.
