Some sad news:

In 2016 we lost Ron Dacey. A very good and accurate bowler. A nice sense of humor.

Ron Dacey stats based on 1987 to 2017 records

• Played over 185 games • 327 wickets • Best of 7-36 • 10 times has taken 5 wickets or more

• 40 catches

• 183 runs

• Best of 23 not out

Ron Cato: Passed away on the 9th February 2017 at home. A lovely man and very good spin bowler on his day. Ron was also a great servant to Fives CC.




2016 highlights: In May 2016 we celebrated the clubs 75th anniversary year. The event was well supported with family, friends and some former players in attendance.

• We played 27 games: Won 15 , Drew 2 ,Lost 10

• Had a great presentation night in 2016 which was as usual supported really well – see picture below

• Thanks to Colin Hogan’s superb work with the club stats, we have uploaded on our website, scorecards from seasons 2000 to 2016: http://www.fivescc.co.uk/statusreport.htm

• We held weekly Saturday nets at Kingsbury temple with a good turnout most weeks

• Unfortunately, there was no indoor cricket tournament during the winter of 2016. We await to see if the indoor league resumes during the winter of 2017, and

• Used the online tool Survey Monkey for collecting members votes on some trophies and the Sunday captain.

The Middlesex and Essex Invitation League www.middlesexandessexleague.org.uk After many years away from league cricket, Fives CC has decided that in 2017, we will take part in The Middlesex and Essex Invitation League. This is a Sunday cricket competition with a limited amount of invited teams participating.

The Middlesex and Essex Invitation League is a Sunday cricket competition, founded in 2009.

The founding principle for the competition was to enhance existing Sunday cricket by adding a league structure to established friendly fixtures.

The current member clubs in 2017 are:

Chigwell Fives Hadley Wood Green Mayfield Pacific

Laws and Playing Conditions

The League format is for 'time' games. Essentially, matches are played in accordance with the Laws of Cricket, with some restrictions imposed on the maximum number of overs in the first innings. All results are possible (Win, Loss, Draw, Tie) and bonus points are earned for batting and bowling. The idea is to have the most flexible format available for fostering interesting and inclusive Sunday cricket - but with a competitive edge.

1.2 The fixtures shall be arranged by the Fixtures Secretaries of Member Clubs to take place on mutually

convenient Sundays during the season.

1.3 All Member Clubs participating in the League shall be equipped on their ground(s) with a clock sufficient in size to be readily visible by players and umpires during the course of a League Match.

1.4 Before the toss for innings, the captain must nominate his players, who may not thereafter be changed without the consent of the opposing captain. If a team has fewer than eight players at the ground one hour after the scheduled start of play, the match shall be forfeited and the opposing team awarded 20 points.

1.5 Each match is to be played with a new ball (Dukes Special League or equivalent) for the first innings. A new ball can also be used in the second innings at the discretion of the fielding captain. The old ball (the ball used in the first innings) can also be used with the option of taking the new ball at any time during the second innings. Both Home and Away teams must make available a new ball and teams shall bowl with the ball that they provide. The Home team must have an adequate supply of spare balls available in case the match balls are lost during play.

1.6 Teams are not required to provide umpires or scorers, but are encouraged to do so where possible.

TIMING OF PLAY AND OVERS

The tea and drinks intervals, the last hour of play and the cessation of play will be controlled in accordance with the Laws of Cricket except that the tea interval shall not be longer than twenty minutes. The match clock should be stopped at the beginning of the tea interval and restarted on the resumption of play, advanced by 20 minutes. In the event of a drinks interval being taken in the second innings it will be immediately prior to the "last hour" call by the umpires and playing time will not be affected.
