🏏 2026 LEAGUE SEASON COMPLETE

With the league season wrapped up, here’s how our four Saturday XIs finished their respective Mid Essex Cricket League campaigns.

🏏 1st XI — 5th | First Division
A solid season for the First XI, finishing 5th with 268 points after 9 wins from 18 matches. Plenty to build on as we look ahead to 2027.

🏏 2nd XI — 7th | Sixth Division
The Seconds finished 7th with 217 points, recording 6 wins across the season. Another year of competitive cricket and valuable experience throughout the side.

🏏 3rd XI — 10th | Ninth Division
A challenging campaign saw the Third XI finish 10th with 187 points. Results didn’t always go our way, but the season provided opportunities across the club and important experience to take forward.

🏏 4th XI — 10th | Tenth Division
The league table only tells part of the story here. Our Fourth XI featured a large number of youth players stepping into adult cricket, many gaining vital senior experience at a young age.

They may have finished 10th this season, but every match played is another step in their development. Those same youngsters will return a year older, stronger and more experienced next season — something that gives us plenty of reason to be excited about the future of the club.

💚 Four Saturday teams. One club. Plenty to build on.

The progress of our younger players in particular shows why continuing to create a pathway from youth cricket into our adult sides is so important.

2026 complete. Now we build towards 2027. 🏏💚

🏏 YOUTH AWARDS DAY x NUCLEAR 💪

What a way to finish the youth season!

34 of our young cricketers and four brave coaches took on Nuclear Wild Forest for a brilliant day of mud, obstacles, teamwork and plenty of laughs — before everyone came together afterwards for pizzas and our End of Season Youth Awards. 🏆

The club paid for every child’s place, making the day completely free for our youngsters, while giving them the opportunity to raise sponsorship for our new SOSEMTCC Future Facilities Fund.

And the response has been incredible.

💰 £2,130 raised so far
• £865 Pitchero
• £565 Zeffy
• £700 cash sponsorship
• Plus Gift Aid where applicable

A massive special thank you to Rotamead, who sponsored two of our youngsters for an incredible £350 each — £700 in total. 👏

[Part 2] 🏏 CHAIRMAN’S END OF SEASON ADDRESS 2026

Building momentum. Growing together. Club first.

Another summer comes to an end at Southchurch Park — and while the final ball of 2026 has been bowled, there’s plenty to be positive about as we look back on how far the club has come.

Our senior league results weren’t where we wanted them to be, and improving our cricket across all four Saturday XIs will be a major focus this winter.

But a cricket club is measured by more than league tables.

This season we’ve played well over 100 matches, enjoyed strong seasons from our U11s and U13s, seen more youngsters step into adult cricket, grown girls’ cricket to 30+ players at training, got the Sirens playing matches, brought more Sunday cricket back to Southchurch Park and hosted two fantastic youth tournaments.

We celebrated another brilliant Cricket Week, held our first Ladies’ Day, welcomed more families and former members back to the club and watched Friday nights become a genuine club night.

Off the field, clubhouse use continues to grow, with bar turnover increasing from around £19,000 last year to more than £30,000 this year.

We’re also beginning to look further ahead.

Work is progressing on plans for improved pavilion storage and, more significantly, our ambition to create permanent cricket nets at Southchurch Park. It won’t happen overnight, but it’s exactly the sort of project we want the whole club to eventually build together.

Two years ago, the priority was stabilising the club and rebuilding its foundations.

This year was supposed to be about beginning to create some momentum.

Instead, we’ve spent almost the entire summer building it.

There’s still an enormous amount of work ahead — particularly if we want to become more competitive across our senior cricket — but we’re comfortably ahead of where we thought we’d be.

Thank you to every player, coach, captain, committee member, volunteer, parent, supporter and member who has contributed this summer.

It’s been a really good year.
We’re building something.
And we’re only just getting started. ❤️💚

🏏 MILESTONE | SUCADHEV SRIRAMAJEGAN 🏏

🔥 A brilliant knock from Sucadhev Sriramajegan, who smashed 89 for the 1st XI against Chelmsford Challengers CC in their Twenty20 clash.

👏 Falling just short of what would have been a superb century, Sucadhev produced an outstanding innings and led the way with the bat.

🏏 89 RUNS
💥 One seriously impressive knock.

And with that, we have our final player milestone of the 2026 season! 🏁

It’s been another season full of runs, wickets, personal bests and memorable performances across the club — and Sucadhev’s 89 is a brilliant way to round off our milestone posts for the year. ❤️💚

👏 Congratulations, Sucadhev! A fantastic performance with the bat!

🏏 31 YOUNG CRICKETERS. ONE NUCLEAR CHALLENGE. 💪

This Saturday, 31 of our young cricketers are swapping the cricket whites for mud as they take on Nuclear Wild Forest — all to help officially launch the SOSEMTCC Future Facilities Fund.

And they’re already off to an incredible start…

💰 £730 RAISED — AND COUNTING!

Now we need your help.

🎯 CAN WE REACH £1,000 BEFORE SATURDAY?

The club is covering the full cost of the day, meaning every child can take part completely free of charge. In return, our youngsters are taking on the challenge and raising whatever they can towards the future of their cricket club.

The Future Facilities Fund has been created to help us continue investing in SOSEMTCC as our club grows — improving our facilities and creating more opportunities for our youth, girls’, women’s and senior sections.

One of our first major ambitions is to establish permanent cricket net facilities at Southchurch Park. We’re already working with the relevant authorities to explore what can be achieved, subject to the necessary permissions and approvals.

But this fund is about more than one project.

It’s about investing in the long-term future of our club and ensuring the next generation has the facilities and opportunities to enjoy cricket for years to come.

❤️ CAN YOU BACK OUR 31 YOUNG CRICKETERS?

Every £1, £5, £10 or share makes a difference. There really is no donation too small.

🔗 Donation link is first link in comment / or find it in our bio!

31 very muddy young cricketers — and probably 4 even muddier coaches! 😂

Thank you for getting behind them. 🏏❤️

🏏 SEASON COMPLETE | SATURDAY XI FRIENDLY

Our final game of the season saw us welcome Chelmsford Challengers CC Twenty20 to Southchurch Park for a friendly.

We fielded a mixed side against a strong Chelmsford Challengers team, who put together an impressive 277 from 35.5 overs.

In reply, we were bowled out for 218 from 33.5 overs, falling 60 runs short but putting together a competitive response against strong opposition.

⭐ S. Sriramajegan – 89
🏏 J. Sibbons – 29
🏏 Waino – 24

With the ball, S. Sriramajegan, S. Nizar and S. Shah all picked up two wickets apiece.

A good competitive friendly to bring the curtain down on another season at Southchurch Park.

Thanks to everyone who played, supported, scored, umpired and helped throughout the year.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 season. 🏏

WEEKEND & MIDWEEK ROUND-UP

A frustrating few days of cricket, with the weather having a major say in Saturday’s fixtures.

The 1st XI managed to get some cricket in against Rayleigh CC in a heavily rain-affected 30-over match. Southend posted 131/7, with J. Sibbons making 49 and D. Shah finishing unbeaten on 30. Rayleigh edged past the total at 132/9 from 27.4 overs, winning by just one wicket. C. Chambers led the bowling with 3/31 in a game that went right down to the wire.

Unfortunately, the rain meant there was no play for the 2nd XI, 3rd XI or 4th XI, with all three Saturday fixtures ending as No Results.

Earlier in the week, the Midweek XI faced Sutton CC. Southend made 167/11 from 45 overs, with D. Shah top scoring with 35. Sutton chased down the target at 171/5 from 33.1 overs, securing a five-wicket victory. P. Elton returned 2/25 with the ball.

Not quite the results—or weather—we wanted, but plenty more cricket still to come.
