Sunbury Lose in Surrey Final of Cockspur Cup

50 Members Show Their Support

Some fifty Members turned out at Horsely and Send CC to urge on their fellow Members on the field of play to see the Club victorious in the Surrey Championship semi-final stage of the Cockspur Cup against Malden Wanderers before losing to a strong Wimbledon XI in the final. We wish Wimbledon well for the forthcoming area, regional and national stages.

The Cockspur squad ably led by Kevin Smith had played well throughout the competition with support from a wide range of Members. Disappointing though the outcome was in the Final, being Surrey runners up is no mean achievement and is a credit to Kevin and to all those concerned.

Sunbury Win Gerald Plumbly Trophy


On the last day of cricket week, Sunbury for the first time won the Gerald Plumbly Trophy, named after the man who was President of Stoics for 33 years. This is competed for annually at Sunbury by four teams - Sunbury, Free Foresters, Stoics and, this year, Ripley who were kindly standing in at short notice for East Molesey.

In this T20 competition, each team plays each of the other three and Sunbury won all three of their matches to deservedly head the table. Innings of the day was undoubtedly Kevin Smith's 78 not out in only 37 balls, but the bowler of the day was Stoics' IPL player who, in one match, took 7 for 18 in his 4 overs.

The playing standard was high with three first-class players taking part and there was much good cricket to watch. A BBQ followed the cricket and, once again, players expressed their view that this is a great competition. Many thanks to the battery of qualified umpires and scorers who ensured that the playing side went without a hitch.

Why not come and watch next year?

All 4 XIs won their Championship matches on Saturday. The 1st XI's defeat of last year's winners, Sutton, has put Sunbury 10 points clear at the top of the 1st XI Premier League (match report here).

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th XIs also won their matches - the 3rd XI having a particularly exciting finish with numbers 10 and 11, Micky O'Sullivan and Bill Kincaid, at the crease when the scores were level. The veteran pair (combined ages 130 and rising) 'scampered' the winning run at their second attempt.

The 1st XI continued their winning ways with a 164 run win over Richmond on Sunday in the Conference Cup taking them through to the 3rd Round.
