The 2010 Season – Our 20th Anniversary year!

After a drier and much more enjoyable 2009, Milton Cricket Club is eagerly anticipating the start of another new season

The club this year celebrates providing 20 years of excellent, very sociable cricket from its base The Black Boy Inn in the hamlet of Milton between Adderbury and Bloxham - both of whose cricket teams sadly folded several years ago.

The 20th anniversary celebration match
A great day out is planned for players and vice-presidents from today and the last 20 years at Banbury Cricket Club on July 4th – details to be confirmed, but put it in your diary now

The Adderbury match
Another highlight of the coming season will be the annual needle match against Adderbury on August 29th at Warriner School – the main event of the bank holiday weekend, so make a note in your diary to come and see us hold on to the Millennium trophy against the Adderbury usurpers, with sumptuous teas, and barbecue supper at The Black Boy.

Another tour
In September we embark again on another international tour – this year to that hotbed of cricket, Budapest, where the cream of the local ladies are apparently waiting eagerly to provide teas and other delights

We need more players!
We have a full Sunday fixture list for 2010, so we need a large squad of players young and old, and of varied talent, but a cavalier attitude to life would be beneficial.
Pre-season nets will be held at Warriner School on Sundays March 28th, April 11th, 18th and 25th from 12 – 1pm.

A pre-season lunch gathering will be held at The Black Boy on Sunday April 25th
So if you fancy a game, or just to watch, please contact Nick Fennell on 01295 811059 for more details.

Become an MCC Vice-President!
As ever we rely heavily on the generosity of our vice-presidents to keep us going, and we will work hard again this year to build on our vice-president numbers. In return we can offer: our splendid MCC tie, free tickets to the barbeques on July 4th and August 29th, a warm welcome and a free tea at all home matches, and acknowledgement on our fixture card – all this for as little as £25!
If you would like to be an MCC vice-president, please contact Nick Fennell
