The 2011 Annual Dinner and Awards took place on 25th November 2011 at Cucklington Village Hall with our President, Malcolm Hooker presenting the trophies. Malcolm referred to the many challenges facing all organised team sports, namely the competing pressures of modern social and family life. However the reward of seeing youngsters develop into talented cricketers and sportsmen was not only good for the club but also for their own confidence and character that would last them a lifetime.
The first awards were Continue reading

Published September 15, 2011 | ‘Buckhorn capitulate as they miss out on three in a row’
Buckhorn were in search of a third successive League title, however it was obviously not to be their day. The pitch and ground played ok, considering the weather; but overall Buckhorn let themselves down on a day when they needed to pull together and put in a solid all-round performance. Adam B won the toss and put Bruton in on a very wet looking pitch; but the pitch had no effect on Bruton’s openers, who slogged from the off and put Simon Dodd and Tom Blomfield on the back foot early on. This prompted a change, with Simon B replacing Tom. Early breakthroughs came, but an inability to bowl one side of the wicket (or even full) and some slack fielding let Bruton cash in. Adam B bowled 7 good overs and Daffy tried tirelessly for the team, picking up the final wicket. In between, Simon B bowled economically; but the boys conceded too many runs, as Bruton mounted 167 all out.
Buckhorn’s reply was fairly weak. Simon B (25) and George Wayman (30) got them off to a good start, but both were undone by the slow wicket and a lack of self restraint; consequently they were both out caught. After that the side never got going, as wickets fell at regular intervals; with players getting themselves out, rather than protecting their own wicket and making the bowlers work for it. Buckhorn collapsed to 97 all out, with their hopes resting on rain at one point.
The result was disappointing, but that takes nothing away from what has been another excellent season for the club, playing some good cricket in amongst the difficulties of poor regular availability and a lack of an U15s section to strengthen the senior side. This missed opportunity should only fuel the team to go on and finish the job next year.

The day kicked off bright and early with team photos and a speech by various officials, setting the mood for an excellent day of both cricket and fundraising. The essentials had been laid out: a beer tent, barbecue and an ice cream stall, which ran all day, and at tea cream teas were made available; consequently there was a continual flow of funds being raised as people enjoyed themselves at each of the tents.

What a wonderful August Bank Holiday Sunday, thanks to all the visitors, all the volunteers, and the weather. Overall we estimate we had at least 250 people during the day who enjoyed the cricket, the food, the bar, the ice creams, cream teas and other extras such as the Buckhorn Barrows and the Junior cricket.
Oh yes, and the cricket! Buckhorn Weston beat the Armed Forces by six wickets, although there were periods when the home supporters got a bit worried. So did the scorers - a couple of sixes nearly got them!
The Club would like to record its thanks to Sam Drury and his colleagues at the Stapleton Arms, to Andrew Barclay Butcher’s, to Kav and Anne Marie Javi at the Three Horseshoes, Batcombe, to Mike’s Ices, to Hall and Woodhouse and to Orangements. Also for donations of cash and raffle prizes to The Tank Museum, The Fleet Air Arm Museum, Church House Investments Ltd, The Folio Society, John Trotter and the Copy Shop, Gillingham. Our thanks as well to Bernard and Monica deSalis for the loan of their marquee. Finally, we would like to record our gratitude to all those who so generously supported the event.
The Club’s appeal for cricket kit to donate to the Afghan Youth Cricket Support Organisation led to a generous response. Particular thanks go to Dan Savident and his family, who walked all the way from Yeovilton to Buckhorn Weston and raised over £700 of the total achieved on the day.
