The first senior net session was held at at Uppingham school sports centre last Thursday evening & was very well attended. The nets will run for 10 weeks at a cost of £20 per person.

We will be placing an order for new club kit on April 1st. If you need any new kit for the new season (shirts, sweaters, rain-jackets, caps etc) please contact Adi Salt or Kev Bennett before the end of March.

The NatWest Cricket Force initiative takes place over the weekend of 27th/28th of March this year & we will be looking for the help & support of local businesses for the donation of time & materials as we prepare the club for the coming season. With our new ground development also ongoing it is an idea time any local firms or individuals to become involved in our community sports project. If you would like more information on how we could benefit each other,  please contact us.

Ben Collins was voted the Rutland League Young Player of the Year 2009. Ben was presented with his award by Leicestershire's Matt Boyce at the Rutland League dinner held at Peterborough Golf Club.

The latest 100 club draw has now taken place with Gary Marsh winning the first prize, Claire Cox second & Tony Flowers third.  Any new members would be very welcome.

The first team lost their final game of the season away at Rushton  last Sunday & have now been  relegated. The seconds have also finished their league campaign & despite topping the table for most of the season have finished third but have still been promoted to division 4 of the Rutland League.

The 3rd's completed their final game of the season at Croxton Kerrial CC with an emphatic win. Fielding a side where Jamie Morton and Danny Dumford were the senior pros, Uppingham set Croxton a stiff target of 211 having only lost 6 wickets. All batsmen contributed with the highlight towards the end of the innings - two enormous sixes from Will Howe to collect maximum batting points.

Uppingham produced a strong fielding display to dismiss Croxton for 128 - George Scott picking up 3 wickets and at one point being on the verge of a hat-trick. The win leaves the 3rds promoted in second place. Neil Wedge would like to thank Mike Gaul for umpiring during the season, the parents of the 3rd XI players for providing transport and teas in 2009 & all of the traveling supporters.

The Burrough League team also had a good season, winning the Plate competition & finishing third in the league only two points behind the Champions despite having lost four games to the weather.

The 2010 Rutland League fixtures for the first & second teams are now on the fixture pages.

Next season we have entered a team in the John Wilcox cup & will play Wisbech at home on 30th May.

 

The 2009 senior presentation evening was held at The Falcon Hotel on Friday 9th October & over 140 of the clubs players, members & supporters were in attendance. We were fortunate to have Mike Turner MBE to present the trophies. Mike  is the ECB Chief Funding Consultant and has taken a keen interest in our project.

Many thanks to The Falcon Hotel & it's staff for all of their hard work that made the evening a great success & to Charlie Scott, Adi Salt & Claire Cox for all of their work preparing for the event.  Pictures here.

The UTCC 100 Club Please read.  More support from players would be much appreciated.

Many thanks to all those that came to the quiz last Friday evening. It was a great success with 11 teams competing & the bar emptied! Valuable funds were raised for the club. Thanks to quizmaster Sir, Gary Marsh for raising his voice above the rowdy minions.

The U13's & U15's have recently returned from a tour to Kent. Report & pictures here.

Not much to report on the new ground development at the moment. All is going to plan, the weather has been very good for it this summer with the grass growing very well  & needing cutting regularly. The water supply has now been connected & we are now busy trying to acquire the funding for the pavilion build. The squares and outfields have recently been sprayed with a broad leaf herbicide to eliminate the weeds growing in the otherwise excellent playing surfaces. We shall be applying autumn fertilizer soon and then regularly spiking to aerate the squares from now until January. Please try & attend any social/fundraising events that we hold at the club as this will provide vital money towards the fixtures & fittings of the new pavilion.

If you ever shop online, please have a look here as you could raise money for the club with no extra cost to yourself.

 

On Thursday 20th August we held the junior presentation & bowl-out up at the club. Trophy presentation was by club president Mike Gaul & a barbeque was also be held from 7.00pm onwards (Thanks to Alan Brown, Scott Green & Jamie Dumford for their cooking skills). There was a very good turnout that showed great support for the junior section of the club & was greatly appreciated. Pictures coming soon.

Many thanks to all of the junior coaches for their dedication & hard work during the season, Helen Bennett, Sue Wild & Mandy Robertson for their work on the bar/sweet counter, Charlie Scott, Micky Clarke, Alan Brown, Adi Salt & Will Cropper for their work preparing the wickets/outfield & all parents & supporters that supplied transport & support for the teams during the season. It has once again been a good season for the junior section of the club & we hope to see you all again next year.

BCYCA U13 Cup Final 2008..

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking all of our 2009 sponsors & hoping that we can look forward to your continued support in 2010. Any new sponsors of the club would be very welcome as we look to build for the future.

More senior player profiles needed please. Form here.

The clubs annual dinner & presentation evening was held at The Falcon hotel & was once again a great success with 160 of the clubs players, supporters & sponsors attending. Many thanks to all those that attended. Pictures.

Following last years dismal response to the request for photos of club members in their UTCC shirts around the world, I thought we would give it another try this year. The first picture received was from Ed Scott who wore his shirt while over in Kenya.

We are a Focus Club & we have now also gained ECB ClubMark accreditation whereby we have demonstrated that we are fully equipped in every sense to look after youngsters and promote cricket to the youth of the community.

To comply with ClubMark regulations we have a Child Welfare Officer and we ensure that sufficient qualified coaches and supplementary     helpers are always available to look after all of our colts.

All of our coaches and helpers have undergone Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks and all coaches have taken first aid courses in addition to their level 1 or 2 cricket coaching courses.

You can rest assured that your children are in safe hands at the club.

We are looking to find out as much about the clubs history as possible. If  you have any old documents, photographs etc that relate to the club that we could have, or have copies of, please pass them on to a committee member.

Any early memories or stories about the club would also be of great interest. Many thanks to club president the late Peter Scott for his contribution.

If any club captains or officials have any reports or information that they would like posted on the site, please send it to me at kevbennett@uppinghamtowncc.co.uk  (Ideally in Word or Excel formats).

We have added a Player Profiles section to all teams. If you would like to add your profile you can download a form here.
