Squad named for Cricketer Cup semi-final

Henry Watkinson writes: Congratulations to all involved in Sundays convincing victory in the West country. A terrific performance again with the bat and well done to Will and Matt for terrific innings. Well done also to Mike, Seren and Crumpy again for steaming the flow of runs in the middle overs. I thought our fielding again was an improvement on the previous game.
We should be confident but not overly confident as we know that Old Alleynians strongest side will be thrown at us for a semi final and we cant expect to carry on winning at a cantor- it just wont happen - I assure you. We will have to show even more intensity in each facet of our game to come through this next round.

The squad for the semi-final is:

Henry Watkinson (capt), Mike Chetwode, Eds Copleston, Abeed Janmohamed, Will Howard (wk), Alan Cope, Matt Crump, Jumbo Jupp, Stuart Meaker, Tom Crump, James Halton, Seren Waters, Phil Roper.
Heather Dean (scorer).

More details to follow but those who havent had a bat for a while should do so in the intervening days.

I have received many emails of encouragment and congratulations from OCs as well as non OCs in the last few days - we have created a large amount of interest and should not lose sight of the fact that it would be a huge feather in our cap if we were to reach the final in our first real attempt in this competition. We are not there yet and we must give our utmost before and during the game.
