Ongar is in West Essex (North East of London) and is just 15 mins drive from the end of the Central line or Shenfield on the overland rail service (20mins from Liverpool St).

We welcome all cricketers of any standard, and in particular those with league experience including overseas players already based in London or Essex.

All are welcome and golfing talent is certainy not needed at Top Golf.

Hi guys

With the cricket season starting in April I thought I better start getting fit!! I also wanted to do something worthwhile and make a difference. So, I thought I would combine the two, and the result....I'm running the Reading Half Marathon (13.1 MILES!!) on Sunday 21st March and raising money for Against Breast Cancer, and I'd really appreciate your support. It's easy to donate online by credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/RakeshBagga

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Against Breast Cancer and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. Its for a good cause and I hope you'll join me in supporting Against Breast Cancer.


Thank you.
Rakesh

One day, news of two world class all rounders!

All round legend Sir Ian Botham is coming to Chelmsford in April 2010 as part of a sponsored walk celebrating 25 years since his first famous fund raising event.

See here for how you can get involved in helping the big man in this very worthy cause

(Contact Tom Stock if you want to help OCC help Sir Ian)

Cricketing superstar England & Lancashire all rounder Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff yesterday backed Ongar Cricket Club wishing us all the best going into 2010.

At a book signing event in London 'Fred' signed over 300 books but took time out to wish OCC all the best. When asked if he was available to play for Ongar on any Saturdays in 2010 the big man replied "Probably not", which is more positive than "definitely not" Perhaps a Suker Sunday tea might persuade him?

The signed copy of "Ashes to Ashes" has been donated to OCC and will be auctioned or raffled in order to raise much needed funds for new infrastructure.

Ben has organisted indoor nets at East Ham leisure for 9/16/23/30 nov and 7/14 dec at 7.30pm till 8.30pm.

We have hired the whole hall at 4 lanes (£42 per hour). Only way to do so price will be divided by numbers present.

OCC held its AGM on 30/09/09 and it was good to see over 20 members attend.

There were not too many changes to the current set-up.

However, David Coles, or Stick as he is affectionately known, takes over the role of Club Captain from Peter Ellis.

Mark Suker takes on the role of Colts Manager. A colts section is essential for long term viability of OCC and I hope we can all help and support Mark in resurecting the colts section.

Jas Chaggar takes over the role of assistant secretary, again from Peter Ellis.

Matt Reynolds is the new vice captain for the 1s and Sam Sweeting the new vice captain for the 2s. Sam is also the new club representative.

The OGB News Editor has retired

So a volunteer is needed to come forward to continue this valuable communication for OCC.
