Handy right handed bowler who has in the winter of 2009 developed his leg spin to add variation to the Ongar attack 
Neal Clark Member profile Neal Clark
Ageing wicketkeeper and right hand batsman, very occasional off spin bowler.
Nobbler is highly competitive and doesn’t like to lose. He became Ongar's first oversea's export when he played at Willetton CC in Perth from October 08 to January 09. Enjoys a joke and a sing song in the shower and when not playing cricket, he can be found at Upton Park watching his beloved West Ham.

Mario Picceri Member profile Mario Picceri
Left arm swing bowler.
Mario is an italian South African....confused?
A useful swing bowler who gets wickets at crucial times. A genuine number 11 who wouldn't know one end of a bat from the other and bought his last bat from eBay for £1.00 ! A really nice guy who smokes cigarettes that look like matchmakers and drives multicoloured cars.

Dan has developed into a genuine all-rounder and always seems to break important partnerships, earning him the nickname 'golden-arm'.
Talented batsmen who is often likened to KP
Chris Sims Member profile - no photo available Chris Sims
Right hand batsman. Broke into the twoose in 2001 and contributed
some useful runs. Scored his maiden century against Woodford Green. Upright and powerful on both the front and the back foot but rather impatient at times. The youngster in the camp and gets the brunt of the mickey taking but always takes it in good spirit. ITMD !!!
Paul Stolworthy Member profile - no photo available Paul Stolworthy
Tall Paul is an integral part of the team. Strikes the ball very well and is handy with the ball.

Scored maidan 100 for the 2's in 2009 to win the match against local rivals Epping
