ARCC this weekend

After yesterday’s tragic news of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth, the ECB has advised that all recreational cricket should go ahead from Saturday. The clubs and players will show full respect to Her Majesty including one minutes silence before each game. As a consequence, the planned events detailed below will take place.

Aston Rowant first team won the Home Counties Premier League for the first time in its history with a win over High Wycombe last Saturday. It triggered a party which will be remembered by all who attended.

The second team finished level at the top of the Cherwell League Division One, but ended up second to Banbury as it won one more game than ARCC did. ARCC finished second which was in itself a magnificent result.

The league season has now finished but there is one last event – two games on the top pitch on Saturday followed by the return of Presidents Day.

In detail, at 10am we will have a game between Aston Rowant legends featuring some old and some not so old players. And at 12pm we have a game between Aston Rowant XI and the Presidents Select XI. The bar will be open at 11am – please come and join in the celebrations of the League title win.

The games will finish early as from 7pm we have the End of Season Ball at Chinnor Rugby Club.
