Welcome to the home of the Ridge Bears
The Club's Annual Dinner took place at The Boot in Bledlow Ridge on Friday 18th October. The recipients of the main gongs were as follows;
1st Xl player of the year Rolfie. ...... Oh no it isn't, it's Dakes
2nd Xl player of the year Shaun
Young Player of the year Jai
The Captain's Award Cooperman
There were also landmark trophies presented to Rolfie (in his 109th season) and Alex (in his first) for maiden hundreds and Cooperman and Jai for their maiden 5 fors.
Steve Bird was announced as the Clubman of the Year and various other dignitaries got a bottle of plonk for services rendered over the season.
The evening was finished off in its traditional fashion with Rolfie's Alternative Awards, which is not a short thing, so if you missed the evening or dropped off during his speech, you can relive the whole thing by clicking below.
We play a competitive standard of cricket in the Cherwell League, every Saturday from May to September. Our 1st 11 play in division 5, having been promoted as champions of 6 in 2018 and our 2nds in division 9. With the benefits of a structured youth programme that we put in place 5 years ago now starting to become apparent, the 2s are concentrating on blending some long time club players with the next generation of Ridgebears and are looking for a strong finish in 2019.
We also play some social cricket on Sundays and a number of Twenty/20 midweek bashes. If you are 15 years or older and would like to play, we will have a team for you whatever your standard. Click here to get in touch.
