It's been a few weeks since we celebrated our annual awards & race evening but here's a full update of winners of all awards and some photos taken from the evening.
The evening itself was well received by all who attended and we raised circa £1000 for club funds from race night, nearest the bottle, raffle and through auctions of local produce made and/or donated by some of our longstanding club members.
We'd like to thank all our sponsors for this season and all our supporters and to all the players who give up their time and enjoy representing our great club.
Overall 2025 season was successful both on and off the pitch. The first team gained promotion to Saturday division 7 for 2026 season after finishing runners up to Lilleshall 3rds after finishing 2nd bottom in 2024 whereas the Sunday 2nd team finished 6th in Sunday Division 2 after finishing bottom of same league in 2024. After a slight restructure to the Sunday league for 2026, the Sunday team have been placed in division 3.
List of winners:
- 1st team catches - Matthew Ellis

- 1st team Individual performances -
1. 14 year old Olly Burtenshaw (Kerry Ann Marlow) with 4 wickets for no runs conceded in 1 over. All 4 wickets came in 4 balls v Pontesbury 2nds.
2. Lea Burton 5-12 off 8 overs v Cae Glas 2nds.
3. Gary Simpson with his first ever CCC run. Gary has only played since 2024 to help his best mate out and we knew scoring his first run for the club was a big chip on his shoulder and he achieved this feat with massive celebrations by all the team on the day away at Quayside. We all knew how much it meant to him so well done Gazza!
