League Fixtures 2009|2009 League Tables

June 27th The Ones game was brought to an untimely end with the match very much in balance (Great Kingshill 247/8, Denham 88/3 off 20 overs). But the Twos faltered against the high-flying Great Kingshill 2nd XI: Denham 161 all out (with S Schembri 61), Great Kingshill 167/4. Denham now down to third behind GK. League Tables

June 21st Great report from Russell Bowry on the very entertaining match against St Johns Wood

June 20th One up, one down. The Ones recorded their best total of the season, at 254/9, with the help of Faisal Mahmood (72) and Russell Bowry (52), but Binfield were in no mood to hang around, passing their target in just 37 overs for the loss of 4 wickets. Bobby Rai, 4/99, did his best to prevent them. The Twos, on the other hand marched on again, with the aid of a terrific 8/31 from Henen Mehta. Denham 161, Littlewick Green 71 all out. But who is going to tell the tale about his great feat?

June 13th More defeats. The Ones knocked up a respectable 205/7 (Bobby Rai 85, P Richards 61) but Winchmore Hill had been watching the Twenty20 - and knocked the runs off for just 3 wickets in 31.1 overs despite all Jamil Shaikh's good efforts (3/49). The Twos on the other hand, had a day to forget: all out 106, Wargrave 107/2 in just 20.3 overs and down to second place behind White Waltham

June 6th Crappy weather forced the Twos match to be abandoned (Twos still at the top of the table) while the Ones got the worst of a rain-shortened match (Taplow 153/9 off 27 overs, Faisal Mahmood 4/42); Denham 99/7, with Jamil Shaikh unbeaten on 43) - and remain on the bottom

May 30th Same theme, different opponents.

The Ones bowling held Chalfont St Giles down to 236/8 off their full 52 overs (J Shaikh 3/45, J Nicholas 3/65), but the Denham batting collapsed to 115 all out. Result: 27 points clear at bottom of table. Awaiting full story of the villains

The Poets XI allowed Englefield to score more runs (246/9) but knocked them off for just 5 wickets. Result: 22 points clear at top of table. Awaiting full story of the heroes: but evergreen Sir Stuart Payne claimed 4 catches and Mark Shepherd's 66 was the mainstay of the Twos innings

May 23rd Mixture as before, but not quite. The Ones were beaten (NB not thrashed) by 39 runs (Penn & Tylers Green 227/8 off the full 52 overs, with Faisal Mahmood 4/75; Denham 188 all out).

The Poets XI prevailed yet again - that makes 4 out of 4 and top of the table by 12 points. This time Mark Shepherd (7/48) put on a super performance to dismiss Coleshill for 171, while JK Bhagodia was not to be outdone with his 85 not out as he guided Denham to a 3 wicket victory and 30 points. We're expecting nothing less than Iambic Pentameter for the match report this week.

May 16th Another black and white week: the Ones managed a single point in their thrashing by Hawridge & Cholesbury (them 257/3, us 82 all out), but the Twos - hurrah for the Twos - achieved a splendid victory over Hawridge & Cholesbury Twos (us 210/6, with Jack Grover 53, and Mark Shephard 46, them 143 all out, H Zaheer 4/39, A Kirby 3/39). The Twos are now third in their League. The match report for the Twos by Jack and Ray is all in hilarious verse

May 9th Black week for Denham - both sides skittled, both sides thrashed. Awaiting reports and excuses. And Sunday was no better - a 9 wickets defeat. It can only go up from here...

May 3rd Excellent pictorial report by Russell Bowry of the Sunday side's visit to Windsor to play The Royal Household (and watched by the Duke of Edinburgh)

May 2nd 2009: One up, one down. The Ones were duly thrashed (all out 158) at Wraysbury by 8 wickets (read James Nicholas's Report), although J Wellbury hit 43, but the Twos had a bright start to the season by beating Amersham Hill by 77 runs, (Denham 199 all out, with A Saberwhal 40, visitors 122 all out, Ray Rulach 4/31)
