Further to our recent post, (http://www.stokecc.co.uk/2014/12/16/umpire-training-courses/), we have now received this via the League from our friends at Sutton CC.
As Peter from Sutton says, this will be particularly useful for those whose umpiring stints may be as little as a spell during a game you’re playing in, and/or for parents at a junior match.
The first pictures of future Stoke and ENGLAND star Lachlan Gregory Routley, born on Friday 27th February.
(Born in England, Greg!)
Leanne has advised that all are doing well and Hayden warming to his new big brother role.
If you have any messages of congratulations or comment re Routley Jnr’s cricketing career prospects and don’t have his contact details, please send them to stokecc@hotmail.com and we’ll gladly forward them on. Alternatively you can join an ever-increasing list of Stoke well-wishers by putting something on their Facebook pages.
Followers of our ‘World News’ section might have spotted an absence of Berea Rovers reports and scorecards recently. Well, the last month proved frustrating times for Paulie and his Berea team-mates, as the last few rounds yielded a mixed bag of results and limited opportunities to impress:

Stirred into contacting SDCC following our recent World News items, Hoppy dialled in to say that he was involved in a match at Newlands for the Rondesbosch Old Boys against Bishops OD in the Tullyallen Trophy.
The opposition included Craig Kieswetter, (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/230855.html); former Chipstead, Ashtead and Cardiff & MCC Uni bat Zac Elkin, (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/437418.html & http://ccwcc.play-cricket.com/website/player_stats_widget/batting_stats/620339?rule_type_id=179), and former Weybridge and Surrey 2s player James Crowson, (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/481813.html & http://weybridge.play-cricket.com/website/player_stats_widget/batting_stats/1376356?rule_type_id=179), the latter was on the losing side when Stoke defeated Weybridge in the 2012 Surrey Championship T20.
The 2015 Surrey Championship Fixtures have been released.
Stoke start with a home & away local derby double-header with Maori Oxshott, less than two weeks after the sides meet in a Sunday XI friendly match.
Thereafter the 1st XI have three home games to complete the first month of 50-over fixtures. This year there isn’t a consistent pattern of home, away, home, away, etc; a point of interest for the 2nd XI who have three road-trips in the first month, but then the majority of the 100-over games at the Stoke Rec.
World News Time again…
A half-century for Paulie, but a narrow defeat for Berea Rovers:

This defeat is possibly a mortal wound in Berea’s title prospects but there are still games to play…
