Sheffield Collegiate Cricket ClubOne of the world's finest cricket clubs

The SCCC Annual Race Night due to take place on Thursday 25th February 2010 at Baldwin’s Omega has been postponed and will now take place on Thursday 13th May 2010 at the same venue.

More details will follow but support would be welcome as it is an important fund raiser for us.

As promised last year following Riaz’s departure we have implemented a new coaching structure for 2010 and are pleased to announce our plans.

Nadeem Khan (ex Pakistan International) will be taking over as Head Coach and will take full responsibility for the club’s Senior & Junior coaching sessions.

Tom Lister has been appointed Assistant Head Coach and will co-ordinate and take responsibility, in accordance with guidelines from the Head Coach, for the club’s Junior coaching sessions.

It is our intention to maintain high ethical standards in coaching and prepare all coaching sessions in advance. We will also encourage and co-ordinate coaching development and standards.

All SCCC players will be given the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

We are also delighted to announce that Joe Root (Yorkshire YCCC & England U19 International) will be returning to play for the club in the Yorkshire League this season (Subject to YCCC commitments) and also assist Nadeem with the club’s coaching sessions.

UPDATE

The club would like to announce that Andy Udall (U17 Manager & 5th teamer) will be taking over the reigns as Fixture Secretary.

Once again we would like to thank Andy Leiper for all his hard work in the role over the years.
******************************************************************

As announced at the AGM, Andy Leiper has resigned as Fixture Secretary and so we are looking for a replacement.

Andy has done the bulk of the work for 2010 season and once he has the remaining fixtures in, he will collate the schedule and pass to his successor. He has also stated he will be available should any advice be needed.

The club would like to thank Andy for all his hard work in this role over the years.
Any member be interested in the role, please contact Tim Pickford on 07831 102836 or at tim.pickford@rillatech.co.uk

Congratulations to Richard Kettleborough on his promotion to the International Umpires Panel. We wish him all the best. Congratulations also to Joe Root for winning the Man of the Series award on the recent England U/19 tour of Bangladesh. Along with the launch of Michael Vaughan's book, this makes for a very good few weeks for the club.

In an effort to improve winter nets, I'd like to have a 2hr session next year. The only way though is to change from a Thursday to a Monday evening.

Rather than simply making the change, I'd like to know if players are in favour of this change or if they'd prefer we keep our normal Thursday session.

I'd appreciate if people could either respond on here or email me directly with their thoughts - riazrichards@hotmail.com

We need a decision in the next few weeks so I'd like responses asap.

The South Yorkshire Cricket League will be running a 6 week ECB ACO Umpires Course now the season has finished.

On Sunday morning, 10am, Martin Maddocks will need help to remove nets and store all the other cricket related equipment for next season. The more people able to avail themselves the quicker it will all get done. Please come and assist if possible.

Hopefully it will be the last time we have to dismantle these nets!

The 2009 SCCC Annual Club Dinner Dance is at Baldwins on Friday 2nd October 2009 7.15 for 7.45. Carriages late. Dinner & Disco is £30.00 per person and good value as it's always a great evening at Baldwins.

Please contact any team captain, Julie Ibbotson, or Richard Ibbotson (0114 263 0889 or 07802 279455) with numbers and any special dietary requirements.

The 2009 season came to an end on the 5th team on Saturday, which saw us wave goodbye to the Yorkshire and Derbyshire division 4 after never really getting going. Despite some very good performances by individuals, and as a team, we never quite managed to get that all elusive win.
