Wow. What an end to an incredible season at DCC. An exceptional summer for the 1st XI, securing promotion and narrowly missing out on the league title, congratulations to Eastbourne on their success. The 2s produced a solid season following promotion last season with many highlights, none more so than the skipper’s final day 100 and Olly Nolan’s 5fer. Ed Nolan also smashed an explosive 100 for the 1s in their final game. Needless to say the season was closed out in typical Ling style at the pav…

We’ll be posting some more photos and highlights from the season in the coming days and weeks, so keep an eye out.

A double win for the Ling, and promotion for the 1s🔥⬆️

It was a CharlieXCharlie operation for the first team, winning by 5 wickets with milk boy on 89no and Chugs on 62. A brilliant partnership to seal promotion and keep us on top of the league with 2 to play.

The 2nd XI regained the winning thread against Ardingly, despite a bit of a late scare meaning the young lads had to steady the ship and see us home. Rob Kemp stole the show with 3-28 followed by a jazzy 40.

We’re on the home run now lads. Up the Ling 💚💛

Another Saturday ahead, two killer sides out, here we go again. Surely 60 points inbound?!

Collaborative tea for the 1s this week, could be interesting… Charlie Rawlins taking charge of pork products so get down to the club for a stray sausage roll and a pint.

With the exciting news that 2022’s Aussie, Stevo, is returning to Ditchling for Cricket Week, we thought we’d take a look back at all our Aussie legends who have graced the club.

Rilo, Jacko, JT and Tom Carty all left their mark on the club in different ways. All brilliant players, all top blokes, just a shame they’re all Aussie.

Can’t wait to see you Justin Stephenson

Ps there is a rumour JT might also be making an appearance…

We’re excited to welcome back one of our Aussie legends, Stevo, who’s making the long journey from the Antipodes to be part of our fast-approaching Cricket Week. If you think that’s commitment to the Ling, swipe to see a very permanent mark Ditchling left on him…

We can’t wait for you to arrive Justin Stephenson. We’ll have cushions at the ready in the store cupboard for the inevitable post-beer snooze.
