Cambourne Cricket Club are pleased to announce that 3 senior teams have been entered into the CCA league for 2009. The club took the decision to enter a 3rd XI based on expected member growth over the winter and a presumption that the second ground will be delivered as scheduled next spring. In addition to entering the Lower Junior Cup the club have also entered the Cambridge News 20/20 Walker Cup to provide players with an alternative format of the game on Sundays which may suit some people better than the 40 over format.

This weekend, my previous club, Blunham, are making an attempt on the World Record for the longest continuous cricket match.

They start tomorrow morning at 9 am and play through until 8 pm on Sunday. It's a fairly short haul (15 miles!) and anyone is welcome to go along to spectate at some point over the weekend (other than when shifting the soil on Saturday am)……..Details of the game are here

After being filmed earlier this summer, Cambourne Cricket Club made the editors cut to appear in two seperate clips on the BBCs hit documentary series, Britain From Above, hosted by Andrew Marr. There are some fantastic camera shots of Nick and Liam bowling, Paul and Marc batting, plus a few familiar faces in the field including Ed, Cundell, Mark and Stuart.

After a lot of hard work this year, Cambourne Cricket Club was awarded Clubmark status last night which is a Sport England national award to sports clubs (not just cricket) who have proven higher standards of safety, fairness, coaching and management.

The BBC series that filmed Cambourne playing cricket earlier this season starts this weekend. "Britain From Above", which begins this Sunday 10th August at 9pm on BBC1, is presented by Andrew Marr and looks a pretty impressive production. Not sure what episode we are appearing in but probably worth a watch anyway. Click here for a preview.

The second's game vs willinghams has been CALLED OFF.

Casey's entertaining match report covering the 2nds excellent win at home to Little Thetford made it into the Cambourne Evening News this week. Look out for it in your letterbox or view it online here.

On behalf of the club, i'd like to pass on congratulations to Cambourne resident and CCC supporter, Jacques du Toit who scored his first ton for Leicestershire this week. Sounds like a great knock reaching 103 off 198 balls helping take Leicestershire on to 527 all out, although a draw seems inevitable now.

In case anyone missed it, the 2nd XI got their match report printed in the Cambourne Weekly News yesterday.

You may have noticed that the Club have taken the decision to install the club and player statistics module on our play-cricket site which gives us the ability to provide a wide range of statistics and graphs on every player in the club.
