W&HCC Awards 2021 - Saturday 4th September

On Saturday 4 September we will be holding the thirteenth annual Woking and Horsell awards following our final league games, to celebrate the good, the incredible, and the not so good that neatly sums up a season at W&HCC. Once again, we have had plenty of all three this year and there has been lots of discussion as to who will win what.

This year the awards will be presented by Phill West and Henri Peters.

We will be presenting a Player of the Year for each of our five teams as well as Best Newcomer, Batsman, Bowler, Fielder, Young Player and Clubperson of the year so there is much to play for as we enter the last couple of league games this season.

We will also be presenting many other awards to those whose season may not have hit the heights of those winning official awards ie Injury of the Year (we've obviously managed to have a few of these) and Most Ducks (an award that requires a fair bit of research).

The evening is a fancy dress evening so you required to dress in anything beginning with a W or an H to celebrate our clubs name.

The event will be held at the club as soon as is possible after our final league games so please get back to the club as soon as you can. Bear in mind that the second team are unhelpfully at Streatham that day.

You never know, you may win something! We hope you can make it.

Bedser Scholarship Winners 2021

The Club were delighted this week to learn that four of our Junior players have been awarded Bedser Scholarships for this season. This scholarship programme, run through the Surrey Cricket Foundation, aims to identify six children who have the potential to become performance cricketers. Six scholarships are awarded annually to children who are state educated in Woking and who are not currently part of the Surrey County Cricket Club Junior pathway. To have four out of the six scholars from the Club is a great achievement for the players themselves, and their coaches.

Many congratulations to Ashane, Elisabeth, Matti and Lewis who represent age groups between U10 and U14. Elisabeth is the first girl Bedser scholar the Club has had which is especially pleasing. As well as the honour of being a Bedser scholar, they will each receive three 1-2-1 coaching sessions, a 5-week course to further their skills and £200 to be spent on cricket equipment.

Everyone at the Club wishes them every success with the programme and looks forward to them continuing to flourish in the years to come.

Club history makers! Girls play first ever hard-ball match

A small piece of club history was made on Wednesday 12th May as the Club played what is believed to be its first ever hard-ball junior girls match against Thames Ditton in the U12 age group of the Smash It Surrey League.

Having developed since U8 with softball cricket, and with no winter training possible, the last couple of weeks have seen the girls have a crash course in facing hardball, putting on pads and helmets and adapting their games under the guidance of coaches Kevin, Colin and Will.

The match was 16 overs, 8 a side pairs cricket with the teams starting on 200. After captain Lizzie won the toss, a steady bowling performance saw Thames Ditton restricted to a score of 298 off their allocation, despite some strong hitting. Special mention to Hope who's figures were 2-0-8-1 and the 7 wickets overall were shared around the bowlers.

After a sticky start, WHCC were behind the rate having scored 259 after 12 overs but some inspired late order batting saw us reach the final over ahead by 6 runs. Then calamity with a wicket off the first ball of the over saw the lead reduced to one run but the last pair of Alice and Jess held their nerve and the team ended with a score of 301 (net 101) to win by 3 runs.

It was a great occasion played in a great spirit and only a shame more spectators could not be present to witness it. This is hopefully just another step in the growth of girls' cricket at the Club. We now have over 50 girls playing from U6 to U14 and thanks to the fantastic work put in by Kevin Silverton over many years, the section goes from strength to strength.

Well played girls!

Slate app for match fees this season

We are going to be using slate app for match fees this season. Please keep an eye on your inbox / junk (spam) for a link to set up your account. If you have any issues please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Below is a quick guide on how Slate works

Players receive an email from Slate with instructions on how to download, set up the App and enter their bank details to GoCardless. It takes two minutes.

After matches, players go to the Slate App, select their name in the fixture, and pay. Simple. Please note – players have to initiate payments through Slate, rather than the club drawing money from players accounts as in a direct debit mandate

All players that leave a match receive an email reminding them they owe for the fixture. For players who haven’t paid a reminder automatically issues, with a third reminder on the following Saturday if the fee remains outstanding.
