Bexley C.C. Colts
It has been a trying and testing season for all of the
Colt teams what with battling the awful summer
weather and constant changes of fixtures and venues.
The managers and coaches, some new to the perils
and pitfalls of Colts cricket, have done an amazing
job keeping it all together and trying their hardest
to make it all work out. A big thank you to all the
effort the managers, coaches and helpers have made
for making the best of what has been a season of
frustration and frequent headaches. We have just
about completed the Colts season and fortunes
have been mixed. Whilst it is always pleasing to
be successful, for some it has been a learning curve
and the next season will bring further challenges but
the experiences learned throughout the 2012 season,
albeit curtailed, should stand all of the Colts in good
stead for 2013.
It is at this time of the year that we say goodbye to
our current Under 16 squad. Over the past five years
this squad has been one of the most successful in
many years at Bexley CC. Winning their respective
leagues all but once, Under 12 and Under 14 Cup
winners, Kent Under 15 Champions, National
South of England finalists in 2011 and Genese Cup
winners, they have probably done the lot. A very
talented group of cricketers who can boast at least
six Kent County representatives over the years and
they all have ability in all aspects of their cricket.
Andy Furze and his “staff” must be very proud of
what they have achieved over the past seasons and
Bexley CC must take some credit in the development
of these lads, some of whom have so much natural
ability. It takes a lot of hard work and understanding
to make a squad gel together and maintain such a
high level of performance over the five years. Well
done.
Under 16’s. NKJL Under 16
Division One Champions
In a league of only eight teams pitch time was
always at a premium and losing only two games to
bad weather and a concession in another, they only
played four complete matches. That said, they stuck
to the task and won all four matches played scoring
good points along the way leading to their winning
position.
Old Elthamians 63 for 8
Bexley CC 64 for 1
In their last ever NKJL match on Friday 6 th July, they
played Old Elthamians away and following heavy
rain all week, the wicket was quite damp. It was
a welcome to Rob SEHMI, our new acquisition
from Belgium and a current Kent Under 17 squad
member. Winning the toss, the right decision,
Bexley bowled very well and the opening attack of
Harry FURZE (4 overs 3 maidens 1-2) and Harry
CHAPMAN (4 overs 1 maiden 0-5) put paid to
any chance Old Elthamians had of posting a high
score. Backed up by the other bowlers and some
exceptional fielding with two outstanding catches
for Ajay BUNGAR and a good run out for Jordan
FISHER, OE’s could only muster 63 for the loss
of 8 wickets. In reply Bexley made light work of
knocking off the required runs with George HALEY
(28) and Harry FURZE (22*) taking the spoils.
Probably not the sort of match to finish off their
NKJL involvement but successful nevertheless.
Final League Table 2012
Under 15A’s
With their involvement, albeit frustrating, in the
Under 15 ECB Cup competition, league fixtures
began stacking up and it was a challenging finish to
the end of the 2012 season trying to fit matches in
where possible and not without controversy. Added
to this was the Genese Cup competition to fulfil.
Old Colfes 42 all out
Bexley CC 44 for 2
On Sunday 15 th July Old Colfes came to Manor Way
and winning the toss decided to bat. With chances
of dropping points not batting first, the Bexley
bowling attack made short work of dismissing
their opponents in 10.5 overs. Dean JEFFERY (4
