 10/05/2008 : NEW : Scorers Required(posted by Neil Tegg)

Help !! The club is desperately short of scorers for the coming season as evidenced by the fact that we only have one dedicated scorer for today's four league games. If anybody would like to get involved or knows anybody who could assist it would be great if could they contact Neil Tegg (mobile 07775 548456) as soon as possible.

I would like to congratulate all those involved so far in the successful start to the first season of Ashford Town C.C. especially Julian for the first ton by a Town player (well done skipper) and to Liam who as Sunday 1st captain recorded a win in their first competition game on Sunday in the East Kent League.

 06/05/2008 : NEW : Weekend Highlights(posted by Neil Tegg)

Another great weekend's cricket played in the sun saw Julian Day become the first player to hit a ton for ATCC as he raced to exactly 100 of 80 balls during the 1st's win at home to Wye. The 2nd wicket partnership of 146 with Liam Tegg who hit 50 is now a club record !!

A great 76 from Pete Shields rescued the 2nds away to Wye and the victory was completed by the ever entertaining Chris Senior's 4-29.

The 4th's came off second best at Walmer but bright spots were runs for... (read more)

 23/04/2008 : Bar Upstairs Open From Saturday 10th May(posted by Neil Tegg)

I am pleased to confirm that the upstairs bar will be open for the majority of the weekends during the season. As you maybe aware the venue has become a very popular function hall and has brought in much needed revenue to the club over the last few months which is brilliant. However the cricket season is here and we can now use this great facility most weeks so it is absolutely imperative that we drive as much revenue from the bar as possible. We therefore need all members, players, wives,... (read more)

 15/04/2008 : New Club Kit(posted by Neil Tegg)

A number of people have been asking so here is a quick update. We have made good progress in the last three weeks and now have over a hundred "County" shirts ready and waiting to be embroidered. We are just waiting for the final version of the new logo to be finished so that we can get them despatched to have this work completed. We very much hope to have them available for the first League game (10th May) at the very latest.

 14/04/2008 : Mens Practice Evening(posted by Neil Tegg)

Wednesday nights will be practice evenings for the Senior side with the first one to be held this Wednesday 16th April. I know from nets on Sunday several players were keen to train outside as soon as possible so here is your opportunity ! Start time will probably need to be as early as possible for the first few sessions say 6.00pm - However, if you can't make it to a little later then no problem. There should be time this week for a net and some light fielding practice.

 11/04/2008 : 'Work hard for rewards' - Llong(posted by Bill Day)

ADRIAN LLONG has given the Stacians Park pitch a vote of confidence in the build-up to next Saturday's (19th April) opening second team fixture against Sibton Park.

The Ashford Town Cricket Club groundsman promises even-paced home pitches this summer with an ever-increasing degree of bounce.

Adrian says: "We cannot expect the Stacians Park pitch to be as fast as the Ball Lane square, but it's okay, with a bit in it for the bowlers if they are prepared to work for their... (read more)

 05/04/2008 : Pichowski returns(posted by Bill Day)

TIM PICHOWSKI is joining Ashford Town Cricket Club for the new Kent League season.

A stylish, competitive batsman, he is leaving Hythe to return to the town where his love of cricket began.

A graduate of Ashford's junior development squad, Tim left Ball Lane several years ago to give Hythe the benefit of his run-getting ability. He has enjoyed many happy and fruitful seasons at The Grove, playing both for the coastal side, and also the Lobsters, of which he is a valued and productive... (read more)

 31/03/2008 : Young cricketers sign-on(posted by Bill Day)

SIMON TAYLOR should be congratulated for organising one of the most efficient Colts sign-on ceremonies in modern times on Sunday.

Many youngsters turned-up with their parents in tow, and the welcome they received on arrival was the direct opposite of the service Terminal 5 passengers are receiving at Heathrow this week.

The whole operation was smooth and efficient and it is difficult to believe the old Stacians ground has ever looked better at the beginning of a new cricket season.
