2012
The season starts with the weather bad and it turns out to be one of the wettest ever. It proves to be the all-time worst for cancellations with almost one third of the scheduled fixtures not played, some due to oppositions cry offs or concessions.
Yet another good season in the Surrey Championship sees a rather frustrated 1stX1 finishing runners-up for the second consecutive season after a few significant factors did not go their way. These prove crucial in the end but there were a lot of positives nonetheless.
It turns in to a disaster season for the 2ndX1 after they are docked 41 points by the League for a very unfortunate, and entirely accidental, administration error, and finish up being relegated. On the field of play, it is not a vintage year particularly with bowling lacking penetration, but the team is easily good enough to come straight back to the top division next year.
A young 3rdX1 have a very good season, coming 3rd after playing a lot of excellent cricket. With a bit more consistency and continued progress by the youngsters, it is a team capable of even better in 2013.
The 4thX1 finish a very creditable 3rd in the Surrey Championship 4thX1s’ Premier Division with a side containing a mix of youth with some very considerable experience.
Matt Todd reaches 500 wickets for the 1stX1 with the bulk of these in Surrey Championship matches.
After 20 seasons playing for Sunbury, it is Ray ‘Gus’ Utting’s last year as a regular player as he decides to switch to umpiring. He has captained the 3rdX1 and scored 10158 runs during this time.
Colts have an excellent season, with the u10s winning the Gubby Allen Cup for the 5th time. They also win the Surrey Cup, and their leagues.
The u15s win both the Middlesex and Surrey Cups beating Ealing and Guildford respectively.
The u14s beat Esher to win the Surrey Cup, the u13s win their Surrey league and the u11s their Middlesex league.
Robbie Hughes represents the South of England at the annual Bunbury Festival.
Paul Stirling is in Ireland’s World Cup team and Toby Roland-Jones wins a 5 year contract at Middlesex CCC.
Former 1stX1 captain, Jack Prosser, stands down after 27 years dedicated work as Editor of the excellent Surrey Championship handbook. He will be a hard act to follow.
2013
75th Anniversary year with several special events including
The launch of Bill Kincaid’s excellent new book “Reaching for the Sky” setting out the history of the Club over its 75 years of existence since 1938;
A fete;
A 40 over match between a Middlesex X1 and a Surrey X1;
A past and present Players Supper.
Additionally the season’s fixtures schedule includes hosting some Surrey 2ndX1 and Surrey over 60s matches, together with an England v Australia over 70s match.
The 1stX1 have another good year, finishing 3rd, the fifth successive year in which they have been in the Premier Division top 3. They finish as runners up in the T20 competition. John Maunders has an excellent season and scores over 1000 runs for the 1s, the first time this has been achieved for several years.
The team also reaches the semi-final of the Conference Cup.
2ndX1 bounce straight back into their Premier Division by winning Division 1 with 12 wins and a defeat only in the last game after the job had been done. It was a strong team with a good mixture of youth and experience which augurs well for next season in the top flight. Max Hall’s 168no v Beddington is a league record for the 2ndX1.
Both the 3rdX1 and 4thX1 have excellent seasons finishing 2nd in their respective divisions. The 3s unfortunately have an indifferent start to their campaign but this young side then has 7 wins in 8 games to give the ultimate champions, Wimbledon, a good run for their money.
The 4thX1 are much improved from the year before and with Sunbury stalwarts, Messrs Clarke, Kincaid and Manro, supporting the youngsters, there is good team spirit. Overall, it is an enjoyable season which includes 1 tied game and a wonderful spell of 8 successive wins.
On Sundays, the Squires expand their fixture list and enjoy their ‘friendly’ cricket as always.
In the Colts, the u17s win the final of the Middlesex County Cup; the u15s and u13s both finish with runners-up medals.
It turns out to be Max Hall’s last playing year after a good many in the 1stX1 where he was Captain for 3 seasons. He has scored 18685 runs for the Club with nearly 12900 in the 1stX1, including 1000+ in the season on 5 occasions.
Micky O’Sullivan also calls time on his competitive cricket playing career. Having played first of all in 1968, he is one of 9 players in the Club to have taken more than 1000 career wickets. All told he has taken 1220 wickets, mostly for the 2nd and 3rdX1s, having been the 3rdX1 leading wicket taker in Surrey Championship matches in 11 seasons.
Ollie Roland-Jones, Adam London and Paul Edwards each reach 7500 runs for the Club during the course of the season and Nobby Clarke completes his 40th season playing for the Club, during which he passes 750 wickets for the Club.
Colin Bentall completes 25 seasons for the Club; during this time he has been Chairman of the Cricket Sub-Committee and has been leading wicket taker in the 2ndX1 in 4 successive years, and once in the 3rd and 4thX1s. He has taken more than 850 wickets for the Club all told.
In October, the Past and Present Players 75th Anniversary Supper is very well attended. Special ‘outstanding long-service’ awards are made to Nobby Clarke, Bill Kincaid, Michael Lowe, Bruce Macdonald, Tony Schaffer, Frank Sharman and Les Wood.
2014
Frank Sharman takes over from Peter Browne as SCC President.
Stuart Poynter wins a contract to Durham CCC and makes his debut. He also plays for Ireland v Sri Lanka.
In July, his brother, Andrew, captains Ireland in a 3 match series of ODIs against Sri Lanka ‘A’
It proves to be a fantastic, albeit ultimately frustrating, year in the Cup Competitions – 2 of these being ‘Nationals’ - with runners-up medals in all three.
In late July, the 1stX1 are finalists in the Surrey T20 competition but after beating Valley End convincingly in the semis, they lose by a disappointing 7 wickets to Ashtead in the final after scoring 128-9 in their allotted overs.
At the beginning of September, the Chieftains play in the finals of the ECB, u19, T20 competition at Leicester CCC. The report of the day reads as follows -
Sunbury Chieftains enjoyed a great day at Grace Road (Leicestershire CCC) playing in the finals of this new ECB competition – being played for the first time this season. Having won the Surrey competition, they were drawn against York in the semi, and, batting first, won by 38 runs. In the second semi, Bexley (Kent), also batting first, beat Tudhoe (Durham) by 58 runs, their total of 167 always looking too much for Tudhoe.
In the final, Bexley won the toss and chose to bat. Some excellent batting saw Bexley post 146-7 (20), and a couple of dropped catches didn’t help the Sunbury cause. Robbie Hughes started well, but tight Bexley bowling and the fall of a couple of wickets put more pressure on Sunbury, and further wickets fell as Sunbury chanced their arm with the bat, finishing on a disappointing 87-9 (20), beaten by a better team on the day.
Two Sunbury players won individual performance awards:
Leading Wicket Taker: Haroon Aslem, 13 wickets,
Fielding award (most catches from fielder, excl WKs): Sam Burgess, 7 catches,
Stuart Broad presented the trophy and medals.
In mid August, Sunbury have a home semi-final in the National Knock Out against Essex side, Brentwood. The visitors bat first and start well before Sunbury get a grip on the game and bowl them out for 184. After losing 2 early wickets, Adam London [89no] steers Sunbury to victory, firstly in company with Ollie Roland-Jones and then with David Nash [49no].
Finalists for the second time in the Club’s history, Sunbury head for Gloucestershire CCC’s ground at Bristol on 14th September.
It turns out to be an excellent match – one of the best National finals - with Sunbury just unable to defend their hard earned 197 total and going down by 2 wickets with just a couple of balls left. The report on the game reads -
ECB report on Royal London Club Cup Final
Sunbury CC v Sandiacre Town CC
Dan Wheeldon produced a captain’s innings to lead Sandiacre Town to the Royal London Club Championship national title in a thrilling final at Bristol.
The all-rounder hit a boundary with just three balls remaining to finally see off the challenge of Surrey Championship side Sunbury by two wickets and clinch Town’s first national crown since their 2003 success over Bath.
Wheeldon’s 25 not out, batting at number seven, spanned more than an hour as wickets fell around him but, combined with man of the match John Jordison’s 25 from 20 balls, he completed a dream weekend for the Derbyshire Premier League side.
Sunbury had surprisingly opted to bat after winning the toss on a cloudy morning at the home of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club but their decision looked a wise one as Justin Granger and John Maunders put on 67 for the opening wicket.
But once Granger went in the 17th over to the impressive Marius Conway-Jones, who took 4-32, wickets fell at regular intervals.
The prolific Adam London went to Jordison cheaply and Sunbury suffered a further setback when Maunders was caught behind by Curtley Read, again off Jordison, just two balls after drinks.
Captain Olly Roland-Jones was then brilliantly run out by a direct-hit from point by Conway-Jones and Sunbury had lost 4-23 in 10 overs.
That brought David Nash and Rhythm Bedi together and they added 57 in 11 overs before Nash was bowled, stepping across his stumps, by Conway-Jones.
Bedi continued busily – despite the further losses of Kevin Smith and Vishal Manro – before he fell for 52 off 45 balls in the final over, Amar Virdi also departing to Conway-Jones as they were dismissed for 197.
Andy Rhodes began the pursuit of 198 in fluent fashion with four boundaries in his 22 but he went lbw to Maunders’ third ball.
Ollie Swann was just as positive and hit four boundaries in his first 10 deliveries to move Sandiacre beyond 50 in eight overs.
They were up to 97 in the 17th and cruising home when Swann played-on to the off-spin of Matthew Todd to depart for 40.
And in the next over the game turned when the spinners applied the pressure with Virdi having opener James Chapman caught behind by London for 33.
Rob Cook became Virdi’s second wicket and Read followed an over later, caught behind off Manro, before John Trueman was run out by a direct-hit from Bedi to leave Sunbury in the driving seat.
Jack Anderson helped Wheeldon rebuild before he went in the 39th over, bowled by Matthew Todd, but Jordison arrived to turn the tide.
He hit 25 off 19 balls only to be bowled with six required off eight deliveries but Ryan McFadyean managed to get Wheeldon the strike and a powerful pull for four off Maunders clinched a stunning win.
In the Surrey Championship, the 1stX1 are disappointed to finish in 4th place, crucially losing in both their matches against the ultimate Champions and Runners-up.
Adam London is leading run maker and has a fine season aggregate of 1441 runs over all in 1st X1 matches. For the third successive season, he and John Maunders are the leading Sunbury batsmen in the league matches.
Back in the Premier Division the 2ndX1 show true form and finish as runners-up. After a slow start in the league the top batsmen and the slow bowlers really get going and they end the season with 11 wins.
The 3rdX1 are disappointed with their batting but they bowl and field well and the young side show a lot of promise. 12 wins and 3rd place is a decent season but they believe they could do better in 2015.
The 4thX1 use 40 players during the season but show good form from June onwards to finish a very creditable 3rd.
With a full set of Sunday matches played, Sunbury remains somewhat unique in club cricket these days and combined with the amount of midweek cricket played, the ground is heavily used especially with Middlesex v Surrey, County 2ndX1 and Colts matches, and Surrey over 60s fixtures being ‘regulars’ now.
With 9 ‘age group’ Colts Managers now and some 150 fixtures in the season, the Colts Section is as active as ever and Sunbury now host the ESCA/ECB T20 Competition finals day.
The u17s finish as runners-up in the Middlesex League Cup.
Peter Browne hangs up his boots after playing during 50 seasons, the second person to achieve this in the Club. A great character and servant to Sunbury, Peter started out as a quick bowler [off an enormously long run!!], playing mainly in the 2nd and 3rdX1s and taking just over 1000 wickets in the process. In recent years injury has prevented him bowling but he has turned out regularly as a batsman for the Squires.
With his house move to Dublin, Michael Lowe finishes his 10 years stint as Club Chairman and his 40 season career playing senior cricket at Sunbury. He has played most of his cricket in the 4thX1 and made more than 12000 runs all told. He has been a major part of the Club and has devoted an immense amount of time and effort to its administration during this time, filling the roles of Club Captain, Secretary for 5 years, 4thX1 Captain for 10 years, Chairman of the Cricket Sub-Committee, and Team Secretary – a colossal contribution all round and there is no doubt his presence will be missed.
At the SSA AGM, Paul Watts stands down as SSA Chairman after 5 years during which time he has worked hard exploring possibilities as to how the Club might be re-developed to ensure a long term future.
2015
Richard Barker is elected SCC President.
Former 1stX1 Captain, Clive Shaw, takes over from Michael Lowe as SCC Chairman.
Tony Schaffer takes on the SSA Chairman role.
Les Wood, current Treasurer of SSA, completes 40 years in office having in this time held positions as Chairman, 1stX1/Club Captain and Treasurer of SCC, and Chairman of SSA for 20 years. It turns out to be a most time-consuming and challenging 40th year!
In the first half of the year, some major problems come to the fore and it proves to be a difficult time for the SCC and SSA Officers and Committees, and especially the new Bar Committee Chairman, Peter Browne. However, mid-year, some decisive and significant changes are made regarding the running of the Club - the bar and catering in particular - resulting in a much better situation financially and much happier place altogether.
On the field, it is a great year – 1stX1 are Champions, the 3rds are 3rdX1 Champions, and the 2nds finish third after a poor start to their league campaign.
A run of 10 straight wins in the first 10 games set the 1stX1 up for their triumph, and although there is a bit of a wobble in the second half of the season, the team overcome it. New Captain, John Maunders is leading run getter, with Adam London only a few runs behind him; the latter additionally has an excellent season behind the stumps. It is, however, a real team effort with everybody making valuable contributions, and a fully deserved league title 17 years after previously winning the top division in Surrey.
The 3s league triumph is their first for 15 years and is decisive, being achieved with 3 matches to go. It too follows a flying start with 9 wins in the first 11 games. Captain, Curtis Higgins leads by example being leading batsmen with over 600 runs and Lomesh Sharma’s positive and consistent batting is a major factor. Colin Bentall is excellent with his slow bowling, and his and Matt Golding’s experience are important in a generally young team where all members make useful contributions over the course of the season.
The 2ndX1 finish a commendable 3rd after disappointing early performances which leave too much to do to challenge eventual winners Reigate Priory. The side progressively improves, however, and the performances of some of the younger players give encouragement for the future.
It is a tough season for the 4s, not least with injury and unavailability issues, and they finish 7th in their division with a few long serving players again giving valuable support in what is mostly a team relying on youngsters.
Anoop Manro becomes the Club’s fifth player to reach 20000 runs, the majority of these for the 2nd and 3rdX1s. He has been a regular player for nearly 40 seasons, and with 800+ wickets as well, a very valuable team member.
Now in his mid 70s and with nearly 40 years playing for Sunbury, injury means that it is Bill Kincaid’s last season of regular cricket. With some 2300 wickets to his name, he is the Club’s second highest wicket taker. More than half of these have been for the 2ndX1 where, for 9 seasons, he had the best season aggregate, including more than 100 wickets on 3 occasions.
Adam London reaches 5000 runs in 1stX1 Surrey Championship matches.
The excellent work of Ian Pope, ably supported by John London, on the ground is recognised when Kenton Court Meadow is stated to be the best ground in the Surrey Championship.
2016
Clive Shaw takes over as SSA Chairman, and Karl Burgess takes on the role of SSA Secretary.
It is a good year financially with a loan from England & Wales Cricket Trust enabling a new auto-roller for the square to be purchased and grant support being obtained from Action Surrey towards two energy efficiency projects to be undertaken – LED lighting installation and improved boiler controls and central heating in the pavilion. Other welcome improvements, including replacement of the remaining, old, pavilion windows with double glazing, and new equipment purchases for the ground and in the bar and kitchen areas also prove possible.
The SSA Management Committee plan additional pavilion improvement work for later in the year to support the hall hirings, music nights, and running of the bar generally, all of which provide vital income to support SCC.
On the field it is another excellent season for the 1stX1 with the team retaining their Surrey Championship title, something never achieved by the 1s previously. It proves to be a close run thing in the end with the final match against immediate rivals Reigate Priory the crucial one and on the day the weather assists Sunbury. Overall, however, well led by John Maunders, and with 13 of their matches already won, it is a well -deserved triumph and a great effort by a largely young and developing side. Adam London and John Maunders are leading run scorers, with Sam Burgess and Rhythm Bedi also having good seasons. Vishal Manro has consistently bowled well, as has a rejuvenated Adam Stanier.
The team also win the Surrey 20/20 Cup. In the semi-final, Ashtead score an impressive 161 but Adam London and Sam Burgess see Sunbury home with an excellent 2nd wicket stand. Tight bowling by Kevin Smith and Ishi Sohi help the team restrict Weybridge to 126 in the final and an opening stand of 95 by Adam and Ollie Roland-Jones sees Sunbury to a comfortable win. Unfortunately, in the National Area match which follows, the team is outgunned by a strong Tunbridge Wells side.
It is not anywhere near so good for the other X1s. All struggle and up until the last games in their respective divisions, could have been relegated. Several of the 2ndX1 players of 2015 do not play during this season, which has a knock on effect through the sides, but fortunately all avoid the drop. A few new players would be welcome for next season!
The Squires ‘friendly cricket’ X1 has more fixtures than ever.
John ‘Nobby’ Clarke reaches 25000 runs for Sunbury, the second player to achieve this milestone. He has played for the Club for 40+ years and more than 10000 of these runs are for the 2ndX1 where he scored over 1000 runs in 2003 and where he has been leading run scorer for 5 seasons.
Adam London reaches 10000 runs for the Club, the vast majority for the 1stX1.
Amar Virdi plays for England u19s and takes 5 wickets on debut.
One of Sunbury’s stalwarts, Micky Serpant, reaches 7500 runs for the Club to go with his 600+ wickets – an excellent achievement from a very useful all rounder.
Rhythm Bedi reaches 7500 runs for the Club, a good proportion of these for the 1stX1.
Veteran, Jerry Smith, also reaches the 7500 runs landmark, with a high proportion of these for the 2ndX1.
Adam Stanier reaches 500 wickets for the Club, more than half for the 1s.
Toby Roland-Jones makes a major contribution in Middlesex CCC’s County Championship win [their first for 23 years] in their crucial final game with a hat-trick and 6 for 54. The season also sees him picked for the England squad.
Sunbury’s Colts are recognised for the best achievement and development of Colts by the Middlesex Colts Association West Area.
In Autumn, however, and casting a large shadow over everything, it becomes a very sad fact that, now, with the passing of Bill Kincaid added to that of Bruce Macdonald in 2013 and of Frank Sharman in 2015, SCC has lost three stalwarts, each of whom in his own way has been an outstanding contributor to the Club, in the space of 3 years.
2017
It has been another good financial year for the Sports Association which has enabled further improvements and repairs within the pavilion, including fire and security measures, and to the flat, the roof and the guttering. The hope is that more enhancements, particularly to the changing rooms and showers, can continue in the future. Extra money has also been allocated to the playing surfaces, including removal of the old artificial wicket, to maintain the existing high standard.
Amar Virdi makes his first class debut playing for Surrey. In the Autumn he plays for the England Lions on their Australian tour and has an excellent debut.
Former colt, Toby Roland-Jones makes his England ODI debut against South Africa. In July, Toby has a dream Test debut with 5 for 57 [4 wickets in his first 6 overs] in South Africa’s 1st innings v England at the Oval. With some quick runs when needed and 3 more wickets in the 2nd innings, it is a memorable performance all round.
The 1stX1, having lost the ever reliable Adam London due to his new employment, suffer a horrible start to the league season with 3 defeats. Thereafter, however, things really pick up and they finish runners-up for a very decent season. Sam Burgess and Kevin Smith top the aggregates with bat and ball respectively, and Rhythm Bedi also has a very good year with bat. There are a lot of other important contributions, not least by wicket keeper Conor Fulton in his first full season with the 1s, and an amazing century by Ishi Sohi which produces a most unlikely win at Ashtead, an outstanding performance which really gets the team’s season going. The three spinners, Sambhi, Virdi and Manro, all do well with more than 20 wickets each.
There is a major success in winning the Conference Cup, the successor to the Evening Standard Trophy, where the team comprehensively beat long standing rivals Ealing by 100 runs. Batting first, a splendid 125 from John Maunders, well supported by fellow opener Sam Burgess’ 37 and then Martin Andersson’s 56, sets Sunbury up for a final total of 292 off the allotted 45 overs. The bowlers then comfortably control Ealing’s reply which is 100 short when their innings closes. Ishy Sohi takes 1 wicket and bowls very economically, the spinners Amar Virdi, Vishal Manro, and A Sambhi share 6 wickets between them, and Kevin Smith takes the other 2 as Sunbury cruise to victory.
The 2ndX1 show what a difference a year makes – in a relegation fight in 2016, Runners up in 2017 after winning 8 for the first 11 matches. Things do not go as well in the latter stages of the league season but it is a good one nonetheless. Much improved batting is the key and the aim will be a bit more consistency overall next year.
The 3rd and 4thX1s both improve on the previous year, finishing 4th and 3rd respectively in their divisions. The 3s win their first 5 games but thereafter suffer from players moving up to a higher team and injury to their new captain, plus a lack of consistency. Some good results against the better teams are offset by poor ones against teams in the lower half of the table, but there is reason for optimism for the future. The 4s with their 3 or 4 veterans supporting a lot of youngsters, including several Colts making debuts in senior cricket, also have a decent season. They are unbeaten at home throughout and are involved in several excellent games that go right to wire.
Kevin Smith reaches 500 wickets for the Club, mostly in the 1s.
Veteran 1stX1 off spin bowler, Matt Todd reaches 500 wickets in the Surrey Championship.
2018
Robert Page is elected as SCC President.
Thanks to a significant donation to SCC by Manohar ‘Sai’ Saigal, a former player and umpire for the Club, and a Vice President for more than 30 years, a complete refurbishment/modernisation of the Mens Toilets/Showers is undertaken, together with the construction of a separate facility for umpires: altogether a massive improvement for the Cricket Club.
Ex SCC player, Stuart Poynter, scores 170 for Durham in his maiden century in county cricket.
It is a summer with a long dry and very hot spell which impacts on both the cricket and the ground where the outfield resembles a desert in colour. A good measure of remedial attention is needed in the off-season.
It is a disappointing season in terms of results generally. Batting problems occur too frequently in the 1stX1 and in the league they finish 5th, lower than they have for several years. The 2ndX1 are 3rd and both the 3s and 4s in mid table.
The 1stX1 have one major success, however, retaining the Bertie Joel Trophy in an exciting final against Bexley. Sunbury score a respectable 242 for 9 off their allotted overs thanks largely to vital contributions lower down the order by Conor Fulton [65] and Ishy Sohi [50]. In response, the Kent side get very close, reaching 230 before being bowled out in the final over. Kevin Smith takes the last wicket and finishes with 3 for 29 off his 7.1 overs which is as crucial as his 16 not out has been at the end of the Sunbury innings.
This is after an amazing performance by Kevin earlier in the season - a remarkable 9 for 8 away at East Molesey in the Surrey Championship, the best bowling return by anybody in Sunbury’s 80 year history.
2019
In addition to the donation to SCC last year by Manohar ‘Sai’ Saigal, a former player and umpire for the Club and a Vice President for more than 30 years, a further, very large legacy is left to the Club by Sai. Some of this money is used to upgrade all the men’s changing rooms, and for the purchase of some much needed ground equipment, plus new sightscreens and a refurbished scoreboard. Plans are put in place to significantly upgrade the bar area later in the year.
The lower pavilion is given attention as well and, in May, is formally named and dedicated to Frank Sharman, former Colts Manager of 30 years, in a well-attended short commemorative service.
John London retires from his role of Assistant Groundsman – where he has done an excellent job alongside Ian Pope helping make Sunbury a top ground in Surrey. Gavin Spencer is contracted, initially working alongside Ian, to provide the increased labour that will be required with the Mall School’s hiring of pitches from the Club which commences in September.
The Colts continue to thrive. The u9s win all their 10 league matches to take the Middlesex title for their age group. Tyrone Visvakula [who scores 144] and Matthew Gillespie star in a Club record partnership of 252 for the u11 Colts v Wycombe House. Subhan Ramzan scores 156 from 56 balls playing for the u14s. The 2 u17s sides both win their Divisions.
Following changes to the Surrey Championship structure for the lower X1s, the 4th X1 do very well finishing 2nd in the [mainly 3rdX1s] Division 4 and gaining promotion. However, the other sides struggle for much of the season. The 1stX1 are hit by experienced players leaving and injuries, and a generally young side hovers around the relegation places for most of the season. Fortunately, some better performances in the last few games see them to safety and 7th place. The 3s finish 7th and the 2s just avoid relegation by getting 8th place – so it’s a disappointing year taken as a whole.
Amar Virdi takes 14 wickets in the Surrey v Notts County match, 8 for 61 followed by 6 for 78.
In October, and thanks to Sai’s legacy, a major refurbishment of the Club’s bar and bar area is undertaken, incorporating new bi-fold doors out on to the ground. It’s a big improvement and completely modernises the facility.
