Cricket week is upon us

The highlight of the OC season is on us, and with the weather set fine, the 2009 cricket week promises to be a cracker. We kick off with a game against the School on Friday (July 3) and then after a day off resume against Eton Rambers (July 5), Old Wellingtonians (July 6), Old Georgians (July 7), Grasshoppers (July 8), Charterhouse Friars (July 9 away), Old Tonbridgians (July 10). We have no games on the second weekend as the School prepares for the Bunbury charity matches on Sunday July 12.

Off the field, things are also looking good, with Gatesy offering the following:-

Sunday Drinks at the pavilion/ Cranley Hotel after the game then on to The Curry Inn in Cranleigh. Table booked for 20 for 8pm.

Monday BBQ at the Merry’s after the game Helen to confirm exact timings. There will be taxis from the pavilion then on to Harpers for around 10-10.30. 15 have confirmed but expecting 20-25. Some people are getting the train to Guildford and then heading back on the last return train.

Tuesday Dinner at the Sir Roger Tichbourne in Loxwood, Rick is booking the table and time etc. Currently 12 have confirmed but I expect it to be nearer 15-20.

Wednesday BBQ and drinks with the Grasshoppers at the pavilion.

More will undoubtedly follow …

Never one to miss an opportunity to give a quote, captain Eds Copleston said: "Our spirit and camaraderie is the envy of each and every Old Boys cricket side in the world. The OCCC is stronger than it ever has been and will only get stronger- this cricket week is set to demonstrate that."
